Betting Predictions
The two Manchester clubs competing in the FA Cup final are currently experiencing different feelings. For the second consecutive season, Manchester City is trying to win both the Premier League and the FA Cup. At Old Trafford, Manchester United is aware that they must prevail in this game at Wembley in order to play in Europe the next season.
This is a rematch of the FA Cup final from 2022–2023, which Manchester City won 2-1. The same two teams will play each other in successive FA Cup finals for the first time since the 19th century, and many predict another victory for Pep Guardiola’s team.
Head-to-Head
Manchester City won the FA Cup final at Wembley last season, defeating Man United 2-1, as was previously mentioned. Since then, Pep Guardiola’s team has defeated United twice to win the 2023–24 Premier League, triumphing 3-0 and 3-1 on each occasion. In just one of the previous seven meetings between these long-standing rivals, Man United has emerged victorious—a 2-1 triumph back in January 2023—taking home the championship.
Team News
With almost no injuries, City travels to Wembley. Guardiola may have selected cup expert Stefan Ortega over his first-choice goalkeeper even with Ederson absent. After being left off the field for the West Ham game, Mateo Kovacic and Nathan Ake will look to show their fitness in practice.
On the last weekend of the league season, Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane made their comeback for United, and they might start as the defensive duo at Wembley. Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, and Victor Lindelof are all working to get back to full fitness, but Anthony Martial is unlikely to play, even if he makes it through his groin surgery.
Probable Line-Up
Manchester City XI:
Ortega (GK), Gvardiol, Akanji, Dias, Walker, Rodri, Foden, De Bruyne, Silva, Doku, and Haaland
Manchester United XI:
Onana (GK), Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Martinez, Dalot, Mainoo, Amrabat, Diallo, Garnacho, McTominay, and Fernandes
Verdict
Tip: Manchester City to Win❌
Reason
It seems irrational to support the formidable Manchester City in any cup final. As they proved against Chelsea, they are excellent in these high-stakes, one-off games and can win even when they don’t always dominate. Even if Ten Hag’s team is anticipated to put up a good fight, it is difficult to see them prevailing at Wembley given that City has recently outperformed United routinely.

Tip: BTTS (YES)âś…
Reason
The Red Devils’ terrible defensive record from the later parts of the season continued as they needed extra time and penalties to defeat Coventry and Liverpool, respectively. They also conceded three goals in both games. In their last 14 games of the season, they gave up 27 goals, and five times, notably in a 3-1 loss to Manchester City in March, they let in at least three goals.
