Now, let’s take a closer look at some football betting angles for Saturday’s FA Cup final fixture:
Crystal Palace v Manchester City – Saturday, 4.30pm
- Crystal Palace are yet to win the FA Cup, they reached the final back in 2016 but lost in extra-time against Manchester United, they are now just one game away from picking up their first major piece of silverware.
- Oliver Glaner’s side head to Wembley after extending their unbeaten run to five games following a 2-0 victory away to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon, the Eagles have lost just two of their last fourteen games in all competitions, one of which came in a 5-2 defeat to Man City just last month.
- The last four games between these two sides have seen both teams score at least two goals, although Crystal Palace haven’t had the better of City since 2021, seven meetings ago (W0, D3, L4).
——————————– - Manchester City head to Wembley after one of the shocks of the season last Saturday, with the Citizens only managing to take a point off struggling Southampton following a goalless draw.
- However, prior to their visit to the south coast, Pep Guardiola’s side had won five games in a row in all competitions, hitting form at the right time as they hunt down a UEFA Champions League place.
- This will be Manchester City’s 21st trip to Wembley under Pep Guardiola and their third consecutive FA Cup final as they look to put things right following last seasons defeat here to rivals Manchester United.
Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Manchester City To Win, Crystal Palace 2-3 Manchester City.
