Man City vs. Man Utd Bet Builder Tips: 25/1 Boosted Fouls Treble for The FA Cup Final

Manchester City face Manchester United in the FA Cup final on Saturday and here at BettingOdds.com we’ve provided you with a 25/1 boosted Bet Builder from the good folk over at Paddy Power.

Pep Guardiola’s side are going in search of a historic treble with this being the second of the three major trophies they hope to possess by the end of next weekend’s Champions League Final. 

Unsurprisingly City are the odds-on favourites to lift the trophy with just odds of 2/7 on show with most betting sites. United can be sided with at 27/10, implying a 27% chance of ten Hag’s side lifting their second up trophy of the campaign after their League Cup triumph in February.

As we saw in the war between Sevilla and Roma on Wednesday evening, card and foul counts can often be a lot higher in finals. We are expecting the same on Saturday with United doing everything in their power to stop their noisy neighbours matching their feat of 1999. 

It’s fouls we are focussing our attention on at Wembley with the first of three players we have picked out to give away two or more being Bruno Fernandes.

Bruno has had a good season at Old Trafford, but still remains one of the most petulant players in the league at times, collecting six yellows in the league and a further five in cup competitions.  The Portuguese playmaker has given away at least one foul in his last six matches against Manchester City and in the two league meetings this season he conceded two at Old Trafford and three at The Etihad.

Next up we have Ilkay Gundogan who looks a little overpriced in Paddy Power’s foul markets. Sky Bet go 9/4 that he commits two or more fouls in the FA Cup final, with Paddy’s much longer at 4/1.

A player who has been outstanding in recent weeks, Gundogan should be one of the first names on Pep’s team sheet. With foul totals in his last four matches of 1,2,1,2, we think he looks a great price here at 5/6 for 1+ and 4/1 for 2+ in the game. 

Rounding off our 25/1 poke is Bernardo Silva. Liverpool (5) are the only side who Bernardo has collected more cards against in his career than Man United (4), showing a tendency for cards and fouls in the big matches. 

Taking a look back at his foul-figures for Manchester City, the 28-year-old has given away 1+ foul in 16 of his last 17 starts. It’s also well worth noting that in ten of those 17, he cleared the 2+ line and also racked up 4+ on three occasions in that period.

Our boosted selection can be found on Paddy Power’s app or site under ‘#WhatOddsPaddy - Requested’ of the Man City vs Man Utd page, with ‘all markets’ selected.
