  • A parlay of three players with -140 odds or shorter to record over 0.5 shots on goal in the FA Cup has +317 odds.
  • Marcus Rashford, Riyad Mahrez, and Julian Alvarez are all favored to get at least one shot on goal.

MANCHESTERManchester City and Manchester United square off in the English FA Cup on Saturday with great betting value for players shot on goals prop. A parlay combining the over for Riyad Mahrez, Marcus Rashford, and Julian Alvarez’s shots on goal props has +317 odds.

English FA Cup Shots on Goal Odds

Player: Over: Under:
Marcus Rashford Over 0.5 -157 Under 0.5 +120
Riyad Mahrez Over 0.5 -143 Under 0.5 +110
Kevin De Bruyne Over 0.5 -157 Under 0.5 +120
Erling Haaland Over 1.5 +100 Under 1.5 -130
Julian Alvarez Over 0.5 -201 Under 0.5 +152

Riyad Mahrez is coming off of a hat-trick against Sheffield United in the semifinals of the English FA Cup. Mahrez has been pivotal for Manchester United’s success throughout the tournament, recording seven shots on goal across their five matches.

The Manchester City forward has -143 odds to add to this total in the English FA Cup Final. The only player more consistent than Riyad Mahrez is his teammate, Julian Alvarez.

Alvarez has -201 odds at legal betting sites to record over 0.5 shots on goal for a sixth straight English FA Cup match. Julian Alvarez is the only player in the shots on goal parlay that has recorded at least one shot on goal in every FA Cup match.

Marcus Rashford is the lone Manchester United player in this parlay, with -157 odds to go over 0.5 shots on goal in Saturday’s English FA Cup Final. Rashford finished third in the premier league with 50 shots on target, 15 more than the next Manchester United player.

Why Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne Aren’t Included

Erling Haaland has -667 odds to record at least one shot on goal, explaining why he is the only player on the betting board with a number set at 1.5 shots on goal. Haaland set goal-scoring records in the Premier League this season but hasn’t been much of a factor in Manchester City’s path to the FA Cup Final.

Outside of his hat trick against Burnley in the quarterfinals, Haaland has been held to zero shots on goal in their other four matches. Erling Haaland will likely be the focus point of United’s defense, so it would be wise to leave his +100 odds off the shots on goal parlay despite his incredible talent.

The same principle can be applied to Kevin De Bruyne’s -157 odds at legal soccer betting sites to record over 0.5 shots on goal against Manchester United. De Bruyne has one game in City’s FA Cup run where he recorded over 0.5 shots on goal.

Adding Kevin De Bruyne to the shots on goal parlay adds far more risk than reward based on his recent performance and the parlay already containing two players from Manchester City. For bettors who want to include both Haaland and De Bruyne, the odds would increase to +1264 for the overs on all five player’s shots on goal props.
