FA Cup, Arsenal vs Aston Villa

[Lookingtostart]

I'm with Arsenal at the moment, I think they can cover here and win by two or more. I think it might be a 4-1 type scoreline, still reseaching though.

What are your thoughts?

I have had good success with these single game threads because I wait 'till I can live bet and look back at what others' have said. Some comments become more apparent after the game starts, sometimes peope here do know what they're talking about (for a particular game).

Finals are tight games more often than not . Plus arsenal aren't that clinical in front of goal

I put a small bet on both teams to score- yes.

Found this on another forum:

As a rule, the FA Cup Final does not produce big winning margins. In fact it has not been won by more than a one-goal margin since Man Utd beat Millwall in an obvious mismatch in 2004. The FA Cup final has been won by a margin of 3-or-more goals just twice since 1990, 3 times since 1974 and on just 4 occasions since WW2!

Historically, when the clear underdog has won in 90 minutes, it has tended be by a 1-0 scoreline. Examples: Wigan (2013), Everton (1995), Wimbledon (1988), West Ham (1980), Ipswich (1978), Southampton (1976), Sunderland (1973). In fact, looking through the list of past finals, I'm struggling to find an upset in 90 minutes that DIDN'T end 1-0. The underdog does not win in 90mins very often, and its certainly got rarer in the Premier League era.
