The FA Cup final is a few days away and is one of the most watched football matches across the world.

This match also sees millions being bet on in countries like the UK and Ireland, with punters looking for the best odds as the game date is so close. A brand we know for a long time is 22Bet, a well-known brand. For a reference, you can read this that covers everything we need to know. Now that we’ve got the punters covered, let’s hit the preview.

The final sees two sides who play their home games in blue face off in what should be an exciting encounter.

Chelsea, under Thomas Tuchel, have been incredible since he took over mid-season. The German took over from Frank Lampard at the start of 2021 and has turned the fortunes of the Blues around.

The Blues seem set for a top four finish, which seemed unlikely a few months back, and are also in the Champions League final.

Chelsea conceded just one goal en route to the FA Cup Final and beat Manchester City in the semis. Leicester, for their part, beat Southampton in the semis but had an impressive victory over Manchester United in the quarters.

The Foxes also more or less cemented their place in the top four with a win over Manchester United recently, and carry some decent form coming into this game.

Venue: Wembley

Time and date: 5:15 PM, 15 May 2021

While some of the big names at Chelsea like Kai Havertz and Timo Werner are slowly showing form under Tuchel, Mason Mount could be the main man for this clash.

The 22-year-old has become a mainstay under the new manager and Leicester have to keep tabs on him in hopes of winning the trophy.

The Foxes do have someone in great form too. Kelechi Iheanacho has six goals and two assists in his last seven games and keeping him quite would be a key to winning the FA Cup.

Prediction

Chelsea should be the favourites for this clash given how Tuchel has turned our fortunes around. The German also has wins over all the top teams this season and Leicester should be no match for the Blue.

Brendan Rodgers has done a decent job with the Foxes, but the Blues have form on their side and should come out 3-1 winners.
