Soccer Betting Verdict: Birmingham City have been hot, hot, hot in Premier League action and they will be looking to extend their undefeated streak in FA Cup. Currently, hobnobbing in the top ten they are clearly on form and as such, solid favourites to beat second-tier Nottingham Forest. At -120, they are well-priced favourites and that is not a bad bet for soccer bettors. Additional value play is the over 2 -130.

Soccer Betting Line:

Coventry City  pk  +110   +170   2  O -155   U +125   Draw   +220    
Portsmouth FC  pk  -140   +130   2  O -155   U +125   Draw   +220    

Match Time: 02:45 P.M. Eastern Time Tuesday January 12, 2010

Soccer Betting Verdict: Portsmouth have been struggling something awful in Premier League but they have managed to remain alive in FA Cup where  other clubs, better than them, have failed. For some reason, they seem to do well enough here. Portsmouth are on the road for their upcoming fixture, but the bookies like them at +130 to win outright. They are not clearly favoured but they are listed short to Coventry. Makes for a good play and for all intended purposes they really should win this match. Over 2 -155 is the additional pick.

Soccer Betting Line:

Bristol City  pk  -135   +145   2  O -150   U +120   Draw   +210    
Cardiff City  pk  +105   +165    2  O -150   U +120   Draw   +210    

Match Time: 02:45 P.M. Eastern Time Tuesday January 12, 2010

Soccer Betting Verdict: The bookies list Bristol City at +145 and Cardiff City at +165 to win outright, making for a tight market on this match. What this says is that most likely, this match will end in a draw (listed at +210) by the end of regular time. Additional play is the pk -135 Bristol City.
