FA Cup Final Tipsby Ben, last updated 2008-05-15 20:01:04

What a bizarre year for the FA Cup. The quarter finals did not go as expected. First Portsmouth knock out Manchester United at Old Trafford and then Barnsley beat Chelsea. The joint favourites knocked out in one of the strangest weekend of football I can remember. Cardiff also disposed of Middlesbrough on that weekend in early March.
So this Saturday its cup final day. Portsmouth of the Premiership vs Cardiff of the Championship. To be honest I can’t see past a Portsmouth win. They packed up in the Premiership early, losing their last 4 games. Their season rests on this 1 game. The last 4 games have been about not risking injuries.
Cardiff are a mid-table Championship side. The quality of the Championship this year has been particularly bad. West Brom won the title with the lowest points total in years. The gulf in class between the top two divisions in English football is huge. Not surprisingly, the 3 teams that are promoted this year will be the favourites for the drop.
I know its a one off match and there’s some ‘magic’ there but shocks don’t really happen that often. Otherwise they wouldn’t be shocks. Bet365 have gone top price for a Portsmouth win at 1.8. The 3.6 for the handicap draw looks tempting too but I think the straight win at 1.8 is the bet to have on the Cup Final. Barring any major team news on Saturday, this is a banker bet at a decent price. Time for the bookies to give some money back from the Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool shocks of previous rounds.
