The FA Cup Final takes place on Saturday, City take on United in a Manchester derby and @Olimp_SA have a preview including betting tips
The highly anticipated FA Cup Final is here, and its even better with a Manchester Derby! Have a look at our thoughts and best bets!
Manchester City
The Premier League Champions will still be high off the 4th consecutive Premier League title as they meet their neighbors in the 143rd FA Cup Final on in a repeat of last season`s final on Saturday. The Citizens will be looking to add to their trophy cabinet with an 8th FA Cup in their history. Manchester City go into the game with confidence through the roof, having finished the season with a comfortable 3-1 victory over West Ham that ended Arsenal`s title dreams.
They boast a club-record 35-fame unbeaten run in all competitions dating back to December 6th and have gotten the best of their neighbors twice this season; a 3-1 victory at the Etihad and a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford. Although Pep`s army look like the clear favorites, everybody knows that it is too dangerous to write Manchester United off early, and with the Derby aspect you can never know what Manchester Side will come to the party.
Manchester United
Manchester United`s lowest finish in their history signifies the severity of problems they`ve experienced this season. From scandals to record-breaking injury lists, and a change of ownership, the players now have the chance to give their fans something to smile about in their 22nd FA Cup. Although too late, the Red Devils closed the season off with 2 consecutive victories – a 3-2 win over Newcastle and a final day 2-0 victory in Brighton.
Looking at their Premier League record this season, they`ve succumbed to 14 defeats and finished with a -1 goal difference – hence why Citizens will be more than happy to take on the side. They`ve also struggled to dispatch Coventry in the FA Cup semifinals. Luckily for them, most first teams players are now back in action, and we are unlikely to see another Casemiro-Evans combination on Saturday. The Manchester Derby always brings a sense of excitement, and we anticipate a very entertaining game. Although City are the heavy favorites, we are rather going for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in the game.
