FA Cup Score Predictions
One of the most popular types of FA Cup betting tips are correct score predictions on the final result. Rather than merely predicting the result of games, you have to be more specific and pick out the exact scores of matches.
A correct score bet is a difficult one to get right, but as a result the odds are big. Because they are so tough, it makes sense to consult our AI-generated FA Cup predictions.
The 2024-25 season saw FA Cup replays scrapped from the first round onwards. This gives an added desire for teams to win the game in 90 minutes and avoid the fatigue of extra time and penalties. This is sometime to consider when making your correct score picks.
FA Cup Accumulator Predictions
The FA Cup provides a lot of opportunities to place accumulator bets. With the early rounds featuring dozens of games, you can pick out a number of bets to make one FA Cup acca.
In those early rounds there are a lot of choices at your disposal, with many teams available at short prices against teams they are heavily favoured to beat. As the competition progresses and we get closer to the final at Wembley Stadium, the amount of games in each round gets smaller.
This is when our FA Cup accumulator tips become particularly useful. Markets are tighter and most pundits benefit from a football expert pointing them in the right direction.
