Melbourne City gave Melbourne Victory a touch-up when they met in the A-League under a fortnight ago and there is no reason that they can’t do the same in the FFA Cup tonight. Melbourne City have more class in their squad and they can bounce back from their disappointing effort against Perth Glory.
The Chicago Blackhawks are set to start this clash as clear favourites, but they have won just five of their past 10 games as home favourites and I am more than happy to take them on at their current price. Calgary have won four of their past 10 games as away favourites for a profit and they can get the job done at big odds.
Norwich suffered a surprise loss at the hands of Preston North End on the week, but they still remain towards the top of the English Championship ladder and are capable of playing some very good football at their best. Leeds United are highly inconsistent and I am more than happy to take them on.
Hull City really don’t have the depth for a Cup run and they would do their slim chances of English Premier League survival good if they make a quick exit from the competition. Bristol City have flown under the radar in the English Championship so far this season, but they have played some good football and can get the job done comfortably.
