Irish Cup betting odds for Monday's semi-finals and who is favourite to lift the trophy

The Sadler's Peaky Blinder Irish Cup returns today with two big semi-finals.

Ballymena United take on Coleraine in a derby clash, while later tonight Cliftonville face Glentoran - both at Windsor Park.

As well as lifting the blue riband trophy, whoever goes on to win the Irish Cup will also earn a place in the Europa League qualifiers and pocket £240,000.

Coleraine are already in Europe, so if they prevail then the final European spot will go to Crusaders who finished third in the Premiership.

The Bannsiders are favourites to win the Irish Cup at 7/4, followed by Cliftonville and Glentoran both at 5/2.

Ballymena are the outsiders at 5/1.

As for today's semi-finals, Coleraine are 3/4 favourites to beat Ballymena United (14/5) with the draw at 14/5.

In tonight's second semi-final Cliftonville and the Glens can't be separated, with both quoted at odds of 6/4 to win after 90 minutes.

The draw is 23/10 in that one.

McLean Bookmakers also have a special 'name the finalists' market, if anyone fancies a double.

Ballymena vs Coleraine is at 4pm while Cliftonville vs Glentoran is 8pm.

The final will be played at Windsor Park this Friday, July 31.

All odds from McLean Bookmakers.
