Ipswich ML over Maidstone (-1250), 7:30 am ET
Portman Road is the venue for the opening FA Cup game on Saturday and a comfortable home victory seems likely. Ipswich has a proud history in this competition, winning the Cup in 1978, and the Tractor Boys are capable of challenging this year.
Ipswich are flying high in the Championship, seeking a return to the Premier League, and they have scored 35 goals in their 14 home league games this season. With such attacking prowess, Ipswich should see off National League South visitors Maidstone with the minimum of fuss.
Everton ML over Luton (-210), 10:00 am ET
It has been a difficult season for Everton fans, who have seen their team suffer a 10-point deduction in the English Premier League for breaches of financial sustainability rules, and the Toffees’ fans are eager for some fun in the FA Cup.
Everton have lifted the FA Cup 5 times, but not since 1995. Given how solid they have looked in defense this year, the Merseysiders could threaten the famous trophy, and they look a good bet to repel Luton’s feeble attack on Saturday. One goal may be enough for the home team to triumph.
Leeds ML over Plymouth (-300), 10:00 am ET
Leeds United are a force to be reckoned with in home fixtures, with their loud and ever-enthusiastic supporters turning Elland Road into a fortress, and the locals should have plenty to cheer on Saturday.
Leeds have won 11 of their 15 home games in the Championship this season, tying the other 4, and Plymouth Argyle know that avoiding defeat on their trip to Yorkshire would be an incredible effort. Plymouth are 1 of only 2 teams in the Championship who have failed to win an away game this term.
Newcastle ML over Fulham (+125), 2:00 pm ET
The game of the day is Fulham against Newcastle at Craven Cottage. Newcastle know the importance of this matchup – the FA Cup is the Magpies’ only realistic chance of silverware this season. Failure to progress past Fulham would be devastating for one of the richest teams in the world.
Eddie Howe’s men should be able to rise to the challenge. Newcastle have not played since January 13, freshening legs for a key period of the season, while Fulham were involved in a tight Wednesday-night tussle with Liverpool in the EFL Cup. Fulham lost that game and an FA Cup exit could be coming on Saturday.
