The 2016 FA Cup Betting Tips PT 2

Crystal Palace, to their credit, have put together some very good performances this season and deserve their spot in the final round of the FA Cup. However, they will likely be outclassed if Manchester United show up and really put together the type of performance that many of us expect them to. The bookmakers believe that Crystal Palace definitely have a chance here but they're also relatively long, and their best chance to actually pull off the victory and win the FA Cup trophy would likely come in extra time or penalties.

As it currently stands, you will find Crystal Palace available at a 4/1 price tag right now with most major bookmakers. To draw trades at a much shorter price of a round of 5/2 margin and that will appeal to many bettors however it will probably prove to be a more popular in play wager than a pre-match bet.

The outright odds to lift the Trophy are much shorter for both teams, obviously, and serve to tell the tale much more accurately than the 90 minutes market. You will find Manchester United available at a very slim 1/3 margin to retain the trophy by any method while their counterparts from London can be backed at anywhere from 2/1 all the way up to a 12/5 margin.

Look for Louis Van Gaal’s men to try to strike early here as one of the biggest factors working against them all season is that they simply stay too organized and fail to move forward with any definitive momentum in the early portions of the match.

Van Gaal has always seemed to prefer nullifying the opposition for the first 45 minutes and coming out for the second half with a 0-0 scoreline. This hasn’t worked as often as he would prefer and his obsession with playing virtually every player out of position has complicated things immensely.
