FA Cup Final Betting Preview: Crystal Palace v Man Utd

 

Manchester United and Crystal Palace go head to head for the final major trophy of the domestic season on Saturday 21st May as the teams take to the Wembley turf for the FA Cup final. Louis Van Gaal is yet to secure any silverware in his time in the Old Trafford hot seat, and if he fails to win this it may turn out to be his final game in charge. A disappointing league campaign saw them miss out on the top 4 on goal difference to city rivals Manchester City, to compound misery in the Champions League, Europa League and Capital One Cup competitions this season. The FA Cup is the one competition that can salvage the season for Van Gaal and potentially earn him another year in charge, although it’s debatable whether the fans will want Van Gaal. bet365 have United as strong favourites at 1/3 (1.33) to lift the FA Cup trophy on Saturday, with Crystal Palace priced at 12/5 (3.40). If you fancy either team to get the job done in 90 minutes you can back Man United at 3/4 (1.75) or Crystal Palace at 19/4 (5.75).

 

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has been runner-up in the FA Cup twice, once as a player and once as a manager. He was in the starting line-up when Crystal Palace drew 3-3 with Man United in the 1990 Final (before losing the replay 1-0), and he was manager of West Ham when they drew 3-3 with Liverpool in the 2006 Final, going on to lose on penalties. Another 3-3 thriller in this weekend’s FA Cup final could therefore be worth a look at 80/1 (81.00) in the correct score odds. Both teams secured 2-1 victories at this stadium in the semi-finals, and if you think this scoreline is more likely to be repeated you can get Manchester United to win 2-1 at 8/1 (9.00) or Crystal Palace to win 2-1 at 16/1 (17.00). Remember also that bet365 refund your stakes on correct score bets (as well as Half-Time/Full-Time and Scorecast) if the match finishes goalless with their fantastic Bore Draw Money Back Offer.

 

In the first goalscorer odds for the FA Cup final, youngsters Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford both appeal at 9/2 (5.50). They have been major plus points in Man United’s season, with Martial showing no signs of buckling under the pressure of his enormous price tag and Rashford making a sensational impact since being called into the first team in February. Palace have plenty of goal threats themselves though, and there’s likely to be a lot of speculative bets on the likes of ex-United man Wilfried Zaha at 18/1 (19.00), Yannick Bolasie at 12/1 (13.00) and French international and Palace penalty-taker Yohan Cabaye at 14/1 (15.00). bet365’s Each-Way First Goalscorers Offer provides each-way bettors on this market with the reassurance that they’ll be paid out at 1/3 odds for unlimited places in normal time.
