Today’s FA Cup semi-final clash at Wembley sees the Premier League’s Hull City take on Sheffield United of League One (4.07pm KO, Live on BT Sport 1) and the latter look far too big at 5/1 to cause an upset.
The Blades have come a long way under Nigel Clough this season, and as well as still having a slight chance of reaching the play-offs have put together an impressive cup run.
They have already knocked out four teams from higher divisions – Aston Villa (Round 3) and Fulham (Round 4) from the Premier League and Nottingham Forest (Round 5) and Charlton (Round 6) from the Championship.
Hull have also won just two of the last 17 meetings in all competitions against them (D7, L8), and that makes Sheffield look overpriced at the 5/1 on offer with bet365, BetVictor, Paddy Power and Stan James.
I certainly don’t think that Hull are 8/11 shots, especially as Clough is likely to make things very difficult form them be setting up a strong back-line.
Chris Porter and Jose Baxter have been the two main players to find the net for Sheffield this season, and the latter makes plenty of each-way appeal in teh efirst goalscorer market at the 10/1 available with bet365.
