FA Cup replays for Newcastle and Liverpool, and the 1st ODI between New Zealand and India, all feature in our Spread Bets of the Day!

1. Oxford United v Newcastle – Total Goals, 2.55-2.75
Newcastle’s problems up front are probably best surmised by the fact £40 million summer signing Joelinton has 2 goals in 28 appearances. In the league only Crystal Palace and Watford have scored fewer. And Jonjo Shelvey, the club’s top scorer with a whopping 5 goals total, is likely out for most of February.

All signs point to the well remaining dry for the Magpies. Or does it?

In their last FA Cup replay, they followed up a 1-1 draw in Rochdale with a 4-1 victory. Can they manage a similar turnaround on Tuesday night in Oxford, a side who are themselves missing their top scorer?

If you think it’ll be another unentertaining affair, sell a Total Goals spread of 2.55-2.75; if you think they’ll be a bit more life to this replay, then buy that same price.

2. Liverpool v Shrewsbury – Shrewsbury to win match, 23.8-27.8
Jurgen Klopp isn’t interested in your worthless domestic cup competitions. Abandoning the Carabao Cup in favour of the FIFA World Club alternative, the Liverpool manager is (potentially) set to give up on the FA Cup.

In order to honour the Premier League’s halfway house ‘winter break’, Klopp immediately announced after the 2-2 draw at Shrewsbury that he would be fielding the club’s under-23s in the replay. You know, the team that lost 5-0 to Aston Villa in the EFL Cup.

After holding their own in a game that saw appearances from Fabinho, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mohamed Salah, and Roberto Firmino, the Shrews may well fancy their chances on Tuesday. If you feel the same, then maybe buy a Shrewsbury to win match binary spread of 23.8-28.6.

3. New Zealand v India 1st ODI – India/New Zealand Supremacy, 19-29
India ended up winning all 5 of their T20 matches in New Zealand, though they increasingly rode their luck as the series went on. From 6 and 7 wicket victories in the 1st and 2nd came back-to-back super-over wins in the 3rd and 4th, and a narrow 7 run triumph in the 5th.

Will they continue their tour clean-sweep with a victory in the 1st ODI in Hamilton? Spreadex are offering an India/New Zealand Supremacy spread of 19-29, where its 1 point per run won by or 10 points per wicket.
