Get on Cardiff (5/4) to see off giantkillers Barnsley in FA Cup

NOT AGAIN! Our XXX yet again went close last weekend – two out of three draws for the 18th time this season.
It was still a 10/1 winner for the smart punters who had doubles and trebles. We enter the final full month of the season and we hope another winning quad is round the corner.
We have the FA Cup semi-finals to look forward to and we have three Championship teams in the semi-finals.
We expect Premiership side PORTSMOUTH (1/1)  to beat West Brom in Saturday’s game. In-form CARDIFF (6/4) look a solid choice against giantkillers Barnsley who have knocked out Chelsea and Liverpool en route to the semis but have been out of form since that Chelsea victory.
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY (6/4) are fighting relegation and travel to fellow strugglers Scunthorpe – we think the Owls will get the three points.
Making the weekend quad up are LEEDS (5/4) who got a vital win at Doncaster on Tuesday night and can take all points at Leyton Orient.
PG XXX: Blackburn v Spurs (12/5), Wigan v Birmingham (9/4), Norwich v Burnley (12/5)
PG FIVEHIT: Nottingham Forest (8/13), Carlisle (1/2), Newcastle (8/11), Northampton (4/5), QPR (10/11)
LONGSHOT TREBLE: St Johnstone (3/1), Dundee Utd (11/2), Man City (4/1)
Don’t forget doubles and trebles.
UEFA Cup
Sporting to grab draw
We have the UEFA Cup quarter-finals tonight (Thursday) and what a season Rangers are having. They have ridden their luck at times but Walter Smith’s team are still on for the quadruple.
However, they looked jaded against Celtic and we expect Sporting Lisbon to take a draw back to Portugal for the second leg. The draw is priced at 9/4. Add Fiorentina (1/1), Bayern Munich (1/2) and Bayer Leverkusen (4/6) for our UEFA Cup quad.
