Well they have good reason to because they are already in the Semi Finals and on paper against a lower league team are expected win. However everyone knows what can happen in the cup so Raith Rovers shouldn’t be underestimated despite their odds of 13/2 for the win.
On the other hand Paddy Power make Dundee United big 2/5 favourites for the win which might scare some punters off so there could be value backing them in the handicap market. They are 11/10 (-1 goal) or (-2 goals) at a bigger 3/1. It could be a great end to a fantastic season for The Terrors.

These two sides haven’t faced each other since the 1996/1997 season when they were last both in the Premier League and it was honours even then, with both teams winning twice. This season though Raith are struggling in Division One and have won just once in their last six. They have four games in hand in the league so could make the playoffs if they win those and their remaining games, will they be fully focused on the Cup or will they be thinking possible promotion?
Dundee United have had a fantastic season to date; a Scottish Cup Semi Final and currently 3rd in the league just five points behind Celtic. The team they could face in the final of this cup if all goes to plan. In Jon Daly and David Goodwillie they have two players capable of shooting down Raith, 22 goals between them this season is enough to put the frighteners on the Division One outfit.
