Crystal Palace vs. Manchester City

This year’s FA Cup Final sees Manchester City return, eager to improve on last year’s disappointment when they lost to their rivals Manchester United. Crystal Palace arrive at Wembley just two weeks after their surprising demolition of Aston Villa in the Semi-Final. They face a Man City side that could consider themselves lucky to have progressed after a resilient Nottingham Forest hit the woodwork three times in their Semi-Final.

After analysing the key stats, we’ve put together this FA Cup Final Bet Builder offering over 10/1 odds with PaddyPower, taking advantage of their SuperSub offer.

Why we're backing this Bet Builder tip

Man City to Lift the Cup

We favour Man City due to their head-to-head advantage and their strong recent history in Cup Finals. This squad of experienced world-class players is well equipped to handle the pressure on the big stage.

Daniel Muñoz to Commit 1+ Fouls

Muñoz averages 1.4 fouls per game and is expected to keep his place in the starting XI.

Matheus Nunes to Commit 1+ Fouls

Expected to be recalled, Nunes averages 1.7 fouls per game and will likely be matched up against Eberechi Eze, who tends to draw fouls.

Erling Haaland to Have 1+ Shots on Target

Haaland’s record speaks for itself — he averages 2 shots on target per game and has scored 30 goals this season.

Kevin De Bruyne to Have 2+ Shots

De Bruyne is set to leave City at the end of the season and will want to make a statement. He averages 3 shots per game and scored against Palace last month in a man-of-the-match display.

Crystal Palace Goalkeeper to Make 3+ Saves

When these teams last met, City had 21 shots with 9 on target, scoring 5 goals. Expect a busy afternoon for Vicente Guaita.

Man City Goalkeeper to Make 2+ Saves

Palace had 7 shots with 3 on target, scoring twice at the Etihad last month. We expect a similar attacking threat in the final.

Over 1.5 Match Goals

The last meeting in April finished 5-2, and 5 of their last 6 meetings have seen over 1.5 goals. These sides average 3.85 goals per game against each other.

Over 7.5 Match Corners

These teams have averaged over 8 corners per game this season. The December meeting alone produced 14 corners.
