The FA Cup is definitely a wide open field this year, so that’s very advantageous for sports gamblers right now. There really isn’t all that much variance between the favorites and the long shots, so it’s a great opportunity for more people to win money this year. It’s pretty much a toss-up.
This is the only chance United have at silverware this season. Of course, what’s much more important for the Red Devils is their league form, as they really have their work cut out for them regarding the chance to return to UEFA Champions League.
That is, unless, they can somehow turn it around versus Liverpool in the Europa League, and then find a way to ride that momentum into winning that consolation bracket of a tournament. We’ll see! Maybe the FA Cup will be a highlight in what had been a very down year.
