Crystal Palace vs Manchester City FA Cup Final preview
The 153rd FA Cup final promises fireworks as underdogs Crystal Palace take on seven-time winners Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday afternoon.
While Pep Guardiola’s side are favourites at -133.33 to lift the trophy in 90 minutes, it might not be a walk in the park. Palace arrive full of belief, having stunned Aston Villa in the semi-finals and swept past Tottenham 2-0 last weekend in the English Premier League.
Palace’s Eberechi Eze continues to shine, while Kevin De Bruyne will be hoping to mark what could be his last FA Cup appearance for Man City.
Palace are playing in their third final, still searching for a maiden victory after heartbreaks in 1990 and 2016. City, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back after last year’s shock defeat to Manchester United as they look to salvage a season that hasn’t lived up to their own sky-high standards.
Goals look likely — the last four meetings between these two have averaged over four goals per game, and Palace have already proved they can hurt City after going 2-0 up at the Etihad earlier in the season.
FA Cup Final 2025 betting predictions
Recent meetings between Crystal Palace and Manchester City have been anything but dull, with each of the last four clashes producing at least four goals. That includes two thrilling 2-2 draws and big wins for City at 4-2 and 5-2. With attacking riches and defensive frailties on both sides, over 3.5 goals is the smart play in what promises to be an open, entertaining final.
Palace may be outsiders, but they’ve scored in each of their last four games against City and come into this clash in good attacking form. Meanwhile, City’s defensive issues have been exposed on multiple occasions this season. Expect both to score, but City’s experience should shine through at the end of 90 minutes.
Eze is flying. He’s been involved in four FA Cup goals in his last four games and just helped dismantle Spurs with a double. City’s defence has been vulnerable to line-breaking runs, and Eze’s confidence and form suggest he’ll make a mark on the big stage. The +180 with Nags.bet for the English winger to score or assist looks like a great price.
