Dave Tindall’s Pick 4 Syndicate Preview

Saturday see’s a Pick 4 kick off with a huge tie in the first leg! Man Utd take on Spurs in an FA cup semi final at Wembley and Dave Tindall has previewed the pool with a Syndicate available for you to join!

 

Man Utd v Spurs

Tottenham fans will know all about their horrible record in FA Cup semi-finals. They’ve lost the last seven of them! However, if ever there was a chance to break that hoo-doo it has to be now with their current home Wembley staging Saturday’s showdown.

Spurs beat United 2-0 there in January and had gone unbeaten at Wembley in the Premier League since August until Man City overturned them 3-1 last Saturday.

I think this will be a tactical and tight semi-final and three of the four Pochettino v Mourinho Spurs v Man Utd clashes have featured under 2.5 goals.

I slightly favour Tottenham but have to give respect to Mourinho when he gets the smell of a trophy in his nostrils.

Prediction: 2-1, 0-0, 1-1, 0-1, 1-2

 

Cardiff v Nottm Forest

Cardiff have nudged back into second automatic promotion slot and know that nine more points from their final four games will mean a return to the promised land of the Premier League.

Forest can be strange opponents and hard to predict and since smashing five past QPR at Loftus Road they’ve failed to score in their last four away games.

A win over Ipswich last time should have secured safety after a run of six without a win so Cardiff have the greater incentive.

The Bluebirds are consistent scorers at home against bottom-half teams but tend to let the odd one in so I like BTTS to land in a Cardiff win.

Prediction: 2-0, 2-1, 3-1, 3-2

Arsenal v West Ham

Perhaps due to the embarrassment of potentially finishing below Burnley, the Gunners have still managed to rack up the goals and wins in home Premier League games despite their focus on getting back in the Champions League via Europe.

This one comes four days before they host Atletico Madrid in the Europa League semis but I still fancy Arsenal to rack up a few again.

It certainly helps the goal count that striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is unavailable for Europe so can give his all in the PL and he’s certainly hit the ground running.

Arsenal have scored at least three times in their last five home games while West Ham have netted in each of their last four on the road. That makes this a BTTS game for me, with Arsenal cruising to another win.

Prediction: 2-1, 3-1, 3-2, Other Home Win

 

Man City v Swansea

After being gifted the title in underwhelming circumstances via a Man Utd home loss to West Brom, Man City will surely want to come out and make a bigger occasion of it in front of their home fans.

With the Champions League gone, City can now fully focus on chasing points, goals and records in the Premier League and Swansea could be in for a tough afternoon. They need a couple of wins to survive but are surely targeting the final two home matches against Southampton and Stoke rather than this one.

The Swans shipped four at Brighton so ‘Other Home Win’ is definitely in my calculations here. City have had some tough home fixtures of late but they put five past Leicester and it could be a similar count if they score early.

Prediction: 3-0, Other Home Win
