Liverpool vs. Southampton
The Saints won the first leg of the semi-finals 1-0 at The St. Mary’s Stadium. Nathan Redmond scored the only goal of the game in the 20th minute. Southampton missed lots of goal-scoring chances and now, at Anfield, Liverpool look like the favourite for reaching the final match. The Reds have lifted the trophy on 8 occasions, as the last time they did it was in 2012. They have become the runners-up on 4 occasions. On the other hand, The Saints have never won the cup!
Liverpool have only lost once at home this season – the last round’s game of The Premier League against Swansea City 2-3, while The Saints have only won 3 of 16 visits this season. However, Southampton will be glad if the game ends with a draw! The Claude Puel’s players have only won twice in the last 10 visits to Anfield. So, the history is on the Liverpool’s side. You can give it a try, betting on a home victory at 1.50, or The Reds to reach the final at 1.80.
Hull City vs. Manchester United
The Red Devils have a comfortable advance of 2-0 after the first leg. Hull City must do something extraordinary to find a place in the final, which will hardly happen! Moreover, The Tigers have lost 21 of 30 matches between these two teams. In addition, 11 Hull City players are sidelined. Ryan Mason has undergone surgery on a fractured skull, Mbokani and Elmohamady are on an international duty, Will Keane is suffering from a knee injury, while Robert Snodgrass is doubtful.
Manchester United have only conceded 7 goals in the last 10 games against Hull City, which again shows the extremely small chances for The Tigers to reach the final game. Furthermore, it’s been 17 matches since the last Red Devils’ defeat in an official game! You can place your bet on United victory at 1.50.
