2018 FA Cup Final Preview PT 1

There is plenty to like about this massive face-off between two of the most storied clubs in English football. The FA Cup final always brings about plenty of action and excitement and a number of fascinating betting opportunities every year it comes around.

This time out we have Manchester United - who were able to muster up a second place finish in the English Premier League facing off against Chelsea, who have had a disappointing season by their standards.

You have to reckon that they would be more than satisfied with picking up a bit of silverware in order to alleviate the pain of missing out on Champions League football next year.

The odds have been swinging around quite a bit over the past week as punters look to get an edge on the betting markets and, at the time of this writing, it appears as though Chelsea have a slim edge from the bookmakers. But with a bit of time still to go before kick-off you have to wonder whether United will actually go in as the genuine favourites.

Their face-offs against each other this season have been interesting and one has to wonder whether United will really be able to come out all guns blazing and get the victory here.
