FA Cup Winner Predictions, Betting Odds, Picks 2022/23

• The FA Cup is the oldest national soccer competition in the world
• A total of 732 teams will take part in this year’s tournament, including the qualifiers
• The FA Cup final is one of the highlights of the English soccer calendar

The FA Cup is the oldest national soccer competition in the world. Launched in 1871, it has been held on an annual basis ever since, save for enforced pauses during the two World Wars.

The FA Cup is a straight knockout tournament with an unseeded draw throughout. Clubs down to level 10 of the English soccer pyramid are able to enter, which means several hundred non-league teams take part in the same competition as the Premier League elite.

Much of the magic of the tournament comes from its ‘giant-killings’, the term used to refer to a big team being upset by a relative minnow. This is aided by an unseeded draw throughout the competition.

As you may have noticed, the odds for the FA Cup winner 2022/23 are similar to those for the Premier League title. That is because a top-flight team will almost certainly lift the FA Cup trophy next year, and it stands to reason that the strongest sides in the division have the best chance of victory in this tournament too.

Manchester City are therefore the favorite with sportsbooks. Yet for all their success under Pep Guardiola, it is notable that they have only won this tournament once. Liverpool, too, have not been as dominant in the FA Cup as one might expect – more on that below.

With the odds available, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur look like good value. The trio will probably not have the consistency to keep pace with Manchester City and Liverpool over the course of a 38-game Premier League season, but they have the quality to win a knockout tournament.

If you are minded to pick out an outsider, consider West Ham United. The Hammers have been consistently good under David Moyes for two years now and will be desperate to win a piece of silverware after going close in the Europa Conference League in 2021/22.
