We predict Manchester United will win 2-1. Manchester City may have won the Premier League this season and are the favourites to win this game, but there are ideas that they may succumb to a defeat to Manchester United. The Red Devils haven’t lost two FA Cup finals in a row against the same team, plus they are aware that the only way to qualify for Europe is by winning this cup. Erik ten Hag’s side has enough reason to fight for the cup, and with their current form, and with players returning to full fitness, the Reds could raise many eyebrows at Wembley this weekend.
There’s a chance Manchester City vs Manchester United will end with over 2.5 goals. Their last six meetings ended with over 2.5 goals, and it is likely that this game can easily follow suit.
Manchester City are in top form, having won their last seven matches on a bounce. They won the Premier League title on the last day of the competition with a 3-1 win over West Ham United, and they will want to end their decent season with a FA Cup victory.
Manchester United finished 8th in the Premier League, despite winning their last two matches against Newcastle United and Brighton. They will want to rollover their current league form to their FA Cup final game against Manchester City this Saturday.
