Let’s dive into this weekend’s big clash in the FA Cup: Arsenal vs. Manchester United. We’ve got some exciting betting insights brought to you from Gambling King, in partnership with Fancave, so grab your notepads and let’s break it down.
First up, Arsenal or Draw & Over 1.5 Goals. Arsenal were unbeaten at home from April until this week’s 2-0 loss to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup. You can bet they’ll be fired up to bounce back, especially in front of their home crowd. With the Carabao Cup slipping away, Arsenal’s focus shifts to the FA Cup, and this match is key.
Meanwhile, Manchester United have struggled, winning just two of their last nine matches. Historically, these selections have hit in the last three Emirates encounters between these sides. Arsenal have also won or drawn with over 1.5 match goals in 19 of their last 22 home games. Odds here look strong.
Next, let’s talk Corners. Over 8, to be exact. Arsenal are set-piece specialists and average over six corners per game, while conceding three-plus. United, on the other hand, average over five corners themselves. Just this week, Arsenal earned a whopping 11 corners against Newcastle. A high corner count feels like a solid shout.
Now, a heated game means cards, and we’re calling Both Teams to Receive a Card. Arsenal average two bookings per match, while their opponents see about 2.5. United aren’t far behind, also averaging two cards per game. With tempers likely to flare, we’re confident both sides will end up in the referee’s book.
On to player selections. Keep an eye on Martin Ødegaard for 1+ shots. He’s a creative force, averaging 1.71 shots per 90 minutes and racking up 15 shots in his last six full matches. On the United side, Bruno Fernandes is worth watching for 1+ fouls. He’s made at least one foul in each of his last seven games, with over seven fouls in the last four matches alone.
Wrap it all together, and you’re looking at odds 3/1. That’s a great value bet for this weekend’s action. Remember, gamble responsibly and enjoy the match!
