22nd April 2023 – 17:45, Wembley Stadium, London
Manchester City and Sheffield Utd will decide the first FA Cup finalist on Saturday afternoon. The Citizens have been in excellent form recently, while the Blades seek a huge surprise in this encounter.
Manchester City Preview & Team News
Manchester City heads into this game coming off the back of a 1-1 Champions League tied result versus Bayern Munich. The Citizens are still in the game for retaining the Premier League, while they also reached the Champions League semi-finals. Their latest results shine a light on the fact that not much more can be done by the Manchester City defense. Manchester City has been mean at the back, with the total number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their previous six matches standing at 3. Regarding absentees, there’s just a single fitness concern for the Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola to be concerned about from an otherwise complete group of players. Phil Foden (Appendectomy) is out of contention.
Sheffield United Preview & Team News
Sheffield United will go into the clash following a 1-0 Championship win to beat Bristol City in their most recent fixture. The Blades are now seven points ahead of Luton Town, and they will likely get the Premier League ticket. Paul Heckingbottom’s Sheffield United has seen their goal attempts be successful a total of 10 times in the course of their previous six matches. The sum of goals that have been scored against them during the equivalent period comes to 5. Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom currently has to contend with reduced team options. Rhian Brewster (Hamstring Injury), Enda Stevens (Unknown Injury), and Jack O’Connell (Knee Surgery) can’t be considered.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Manchester City is a clear favorite in this match, and Sheffield United’s FA Cup journey will likely end here. However, we don’t think the Citizens will celebrate a comfortable win, as they managed to beat the Blades by two goals just once in the last seven encounters. We found the value in the Asian Handicap market, and Man City might not push too much since they need to control energy consumption.
Goals Market Prediction
Six of their previous seven encounters stayed under a 2.5 margin, and despite Man City’s excellent scoring form, we shouldn’t see more than three goals in total. Quite good odds on that bet!
