2018 FA Cup Goalscorer wagering

In a match-up that looks pretty difficult to decipher on paper the betting for the 2018 FA Cup could wind up being based around the potential goalscorers in lieu of the outright result. It would be wise for punters to take a look at these lucrative markets as there appears to be very little between both teams with the bookmakers looking likely to have them nearly dead-even by the time they actually kick off today.

With the favoured outcome in this contest being a 1-1 draw that makes the first goalscorer market especially appealing and you have to reckon that this one is unlikely to turn into a 3-2 barnburner.

Eden Hazard is the genuine favourite to get the first goal in the contest and he comes in a good distance ahead most of the other competition. The Chelsea player has been in fine form and has plenty of momentum coming into this contest after a long Premier League season.

Manchester United’s preferred goalscorer appears to be Romelu Lukaku and he is competitively priced with Chelsea counterparts Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata at this point.

Marcus Rashford is probably the one to really watch - particularly if he gets the start - as his pace is able to unsettle teams very well. The No Goalscorer option is priced identically to Rashford and this one really does appear to be a relatively low scoring affair on paper.

Alexis Sanchez, Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial are all in the mix as well just a shade behind Rashford in the betting markets.
