LEEDS UNITED VS TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FA CUP LIVE BETTING TIPS

While top UK bookmaker William Hill boasts over 178 different pre-match markets for the widely-anticipated fixture between Leeds and Spurs at Elland Road, I am of the opinion that this is the type of match that favours the in-play punter. Live betting will be available on this game and you can expect a few dozen exciting betting markets that, properly adjudicated, can bring back plenty of fast cash.
My preference for live betting generally happens either in matches between two very evenly-matched teams or in one-off cup affairs like this one. Yes, I know it’s a replay, but you get my drift.
Spurs are already seeing heavy volume coming in with William Hill having cut their price to 5/6 from 10/11. Leeds are priced at 10/3 currently and the draw continues to trade at 5/2. In-play, you’ll see the odds on Leeds and Spurs lengthen after the first 45 minutes if no goals are scored and in tight affairs like this one, that can reward with plenty of extra value.

The fact that the match is being contested at Elland Road is a very big factor. Another massive variable is the possibility of an early goal. This is exactly what happened last time and it can be a boon to players planning to bet on the favourite when the underdog notches a lucky one early on. Should Leeds score early, you’ll see Spurs jump immediately from 5/6 to a 7/4 price and climbing.
Another great suggestion for in-play betting is the next goalscorer markets. These are absolutely vital bets to make if you’re punting live because you can give yourself a few minutes to see where the gaps are in the defence and just how easy it will be to exploit them. It’s hard to tell if a superstar centre-back is going to have a bad game before it starts but watching 10 minutes of a horror show on the back-line is usually more than enough to get me clicking.
The outright qualification odds will be jumping around the whole match and Spurs trade at 4/11 while Leeds are listed at 2/1. Correct score betting is another great one and you’ll find Spurs 1-0 as the lowest-priced option at 5/1, 2-0 and 2-1 both pay 6/1 while 3-2 pays 25/1. Leeds to win 1-0 pays out at 17/2 while a 2-0 win is a solid 18/1. Leeds 2-1 (a likely result) pays 11/1). If you’re betting two moves ahead on correct score, you’re definitely in business.
For your in-play goalscorer bets, keep your eyes on the Jermain/Jermaine tandem leading the line for both sides. I think Defoe is a great bet to score first, while Beckford is a great bet to score twice.
Make sure you head to William Hill for your live-betting on this massive FA Cup fixture!
