FA Cup Final: Goalscorer Tip

Palace carry a threat from set-pieces and Man Utd looked lacking in that area against Leicester and West Ham recently.

Manchester United have had their weakness at set-pieces exposed twice in recent weeks when Leicester City stormed back at Old Trafford and when West Ham won 3-2 in the final game at Upton Park.

Crystal Palace had the highest percentage of set-piece goals for any team in the 2015-16 Premier League season and Scott Dann ranks as one of the most predatory defenders in the top flight.

He scored five league goals and came close many other times and automatically looks overpriced at 14/1 in the anytime goalscorer market.

However, we can stretch our value bet even further by taking the 22/1 Skybet offer on the Eagles’ favourite scoring anytime with a header. Since close to 100% of his goals come in this way, we can snap up the price and maintain wager interest in the cup final as long as he’s on the pitch, regardless of the scoreline.
