FA Cup Final Betting

The FA Cup Final Betting in this week's FA Cup Final at Wembley between Portsmouth and Cardiff has the Premier League team clear favourites. However Cardiff as the underdogs will have nowhere near as much pressure on them as Portsmouth, and will be able to enjoy themselves considerably more. They are also a very good team and David Jones; their very astute and experienced Manager will no doubt have a plan to scupper the Portsmouth dream. It has to be said too that the FA Cup this year has been a year for the underdogs. Will Cardiff maintain the status quo?

Portsmouth have had a very good season, but slipped a little at the end, losing a couple of games that they would have normally been favourites to win. It suggests that they have been prioritising this match and it is known that they have been resting players to keep them fit for the final. A European place is what Pompey had in their sights at the start of the season and although they can still qualify for Europe via the Inter-Toto qualifying route, an FA Cup Final Win guarantee’s them an automatic place. The European factor will be a major motivating factor for both teams, but particularly for Pompey, who are probably a better equipped side for Europe than Cardiff.

It could be argued that a Cup Final win for Cardiff has been on the cards all season. The Welsh generally have had a fabulous sporting season, Grand Slam winners at Rugby, and Joe Calzaghe’s huge boxing win, a victory for Cardiff in the FA Cup Final would surely put ‘icing on a Welsh cake.’

Both Clubs have won the trophy once, Cardiff in 1927 and Portsmouth 1939. The odds for either one of them to do so again are Pompey 8/11 and Cardiff 3/1.
