Manchester City are big odds-on to land the treble and they can land the second leg of this achievement by beating Manchester United in the 2023 FA Cup final. The bookmakers anticipate a normal time victory for a side that ended up landing the Premier League title with games to spare, while the way in which they toyed with Real Madrid in the Champions League suggests that United might not see a lot of the ball.
The Red Devils did claim a 2-1 win over their city rivals when the sides last met at Old Trafford, with Erik Ten Hag having the blueprint of winning at Wembley this season when overcoming Newcastle by a 2-0 scoreline. The Dutchman will have a game plan that involves some stout defending and making it hard for City to create chances.
There were a lot of goals when City played United at the Etihad Stadium and it was the former who raced into a big lead before claiming a 6-3 victory over their rivals, with the Red Devils’ defence having tightened up considerably since then. We’re expecting Casemiro to play a key role in the centre of midfield but one wonders how many chances United will create.
Indeed, we might end up getting a fairly dull encounter where City are able to claim a 1-0 or 2-0 victory. You can combine these two outcomes and there’s a chance to potentially back City to win to nil, while those looking to place FA Cup final Bet Builders might look to also include a large number of cards being brandished throughout the ninety minutes.
