FA Cup Finals Betting Options: Manchester City vs Wigan props

Manchester City is such a huge favorite in its FA Cup final against Wigan that bettors are looking for other wagers to find value Saturday.

City, the FA Cup winner two years ago, is the major favorite to win at 1.40, according to OddsShark.com. Wigan is 8.00 and the draw at 4.75. In terms of moneyline betting, Man City is at -250 with Wigan at +700 and the draw at +375.

Just some of the more common bets you can make on the FA Cup Final are the full time result, Asian handicap and goal line, goals to be scored odd/even, goals over/under (2.5), first half Asian, both teams to score, double chance, and draw-no-bet.

“One of the more popular bets is picking the player that will score,” said Jason Green, a soccer analyst at FACupOdds.com. “Obviously the players that have scored the most goals for their teams will have less favorable odds, but simply picking a player to score can have increased odds with solid payouts.”

Manchester City has three players that have scored at least 11 goals this season in the England Premier League in Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero, and Edin Dzeko. These players will be the most likely to score in the match and this is especially the case since Man City is the HUGE favorite.

However, players that have not scored as many goals will have increased odds and solid payouts if they happen to tickle the twine in the FA Cup final.
