Best FA Cup Final odds at Bet365 Sportsbook

• Man United @ 1.75 (3/4)
• Draw @ 3.60 (13/5)
• Crystal Palace @ 5.75 (19/4)

It’s been a crazy season, and Marcus Rashford’s rise to stardom hasn’t even been the most unlikely event. Leicester won the league and previous winners Chelsea spent more like the relegation candidates that the Foxes were supposed to be. When Riyad Mahrez can win player of the year, a previously unheard of 18 year old scoring 5 goals and bagging 2 assists in less than 900 minutes doesn’t seem quite so strange.

Bet on Rashford to score a hat-trick: it would be the only fitting end to the season. He’s grasped his chance in the first team and, as his goal against Bournemouth on Tuesday showed, he’s maintained his lethal form. The Crystal Palace defence have hardy been in great form lately: they’ll be no match for Rashford’s pace and sharpness.

Bet on Zaha to score

Manchester United from one of the greatest prospects in English football into a perpetual sub and symbol of failed promise. His dismal 18 months in Manchester ended with a return to Selhurst park, where he has shown glimpses of his previous form.

The final will a perfect opportunity for Zaha to showcase the talent that Van Gaal (and Moyes before him) didn’t appreciate. While there have at time been questions about his motivation, the chance to punish United means he’ll be desperate to grab a goal. Bet on Zaha to do just that.

Best odds: Bet on Zaha Anytime Goalscorer for 8.50 (15/2) @ 32Red Sportsbook

Bet on Louis Van Gaal stay at Man United

The chances are that Man United will win this match, which will be a big boost to Van Gaal in his quest to remain in his job. A trophy would add to the argument that it’s simply easier to keep him on for one more year. It’s unclear who would replace him at the present.

The club are clearly unsure about Mourinho, with legends like Sirs Alex Ferguson and Bobby Charlton firm in their opposition. Pochettino has just signed a new contract with Tottenham, while Ryan Giggs surely doesn’t have the requisite experience to carry out the necessary overhaul. Bet on Van Gaal to keep going for another season.

Bet on a low-scoring game

Online sportsbooks have very tempting odds for a low scoring encounter. Despite Man United’s three goals on Tuesday, they scored 22 goals less than their rivals Manchester City. They have struggled for goals all season, despite Rashford’s form and Martial’s occasional flashes of brilliance.

Meanwhile, only two teams scored fewer goals then Crystal Palace. Their defence is markedly better, with a mid-table rank for goals conceded. Van Gaal is unlikely to go all-out for a cup final, so betting on a low scoring encounter seems wise, at these odds at least.

Bet on a sending off

Any game that features Fellaini has a good shot at featuring a red card, and he’s likely to be especially fired up for this match. He likes to swing his elbows at the best of times, and no punches will be pulled in his midfield battle against Jedinak.

Likewise, all Aston Villa players will be fired up. They may be keen to tackle fiercely at the beginning, and if they concede there’s a chance they’ll be reckless. Plus, with the pace of Rashford and Martial, there’s always a risk of a last-man sending off. These odds are too good to miss.

Best odds: Bet on Sending Off in Match for 5.00 (4/1) @ BetVictor
