We\u2019ve previewed Sunday\u2019s Wembley clash and picked out some of the best betting tips from the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/sport.netbet.co.uk\/football\/\">football odds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/sport.netbet.co.uk\/\">NetBet Sport<\/a>, new customers can benefit from a <a href=\"https:\/\/sport.netbet.co.uk\/promotions\/welcome_offer\/\">\u00a310 Free Bet<\/a>.

Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s appointment was questioned but the Italian as them fighting for European football and in a strong position to book a spot in the FA Cup final \u2013 all whilst playing liquid football!<\/p>\n<p>United have also come on leaps and bounds under Erik ten Hag but they are injury-plagued as they prepare for Wembley. With first-choice centre-half pairing Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez both ruled out through injury and club captain Harry Maguire suspended, it remains to be seen who United will opt to play at the heart of their defence.<\/p>\n<p>The makeshift defensive pairing will play into the hands of a free-flowing Brighton side, who will no doubt look to capitalise with their fluid movement. Even Ferguson will pin the central defenders and act as the Seagulls\u2019 focal point, allowing Alexis Mac Allister, Solly March and Kaoru Mitoma to drift and exploit space.<\/p>\n<p>With the talent in the Red Devils attack, they can\u2019t be ruled out. However, the fixture pile-up has had a damning impact on their FA Cup preparations, and they will be severely weakened as a result of injuries.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>FA Cup Semi-Final Odds<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Quite remarkably, Brighton (2.39) are going into an FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United (2.69) as slight favourites! Both attacks have been impressive this season and both teams to score (1.56) is heavily backed, while either side to keep a clean sheet (2.33) is less favoured.<\/p>\n<p>The 18-year-old striker Evan Ferguson (6.50) is leading the odds to open the scoring at Wembley, tailed by Anthony Martial (7.10), Danny Welbeck (7.40) and Deniz Undav (7.70). There is also plenty of value in creative midfielders Bruno Fernandes (8.50) and Mac Allister (9.50) to break the deadlock.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Brighton vs Man United Betting Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Brighton to win and both teams to score \u2013 4.33<\/p>\n<p>There will be some key players missing from United\u2019s line-up, so we\u2019re just about siding with the Seagulls. Not to mention they\u2019ve just beaten Chelsea and were robbed of three points against Spurs. De Zerbi has them playing football as good as any team in the league and they will be brimming with confidence on the big stage.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis Dunk to score at any time \u2013 12.00<\/p>\n<p>If you fancy a little outside bet, Dunk to score at any time, or even to score first (29.00), is a nice pick. United have looked shaky defending set pieces at full strength, so they will struggle in the absence of Maguire, Varane and Martinez. Dunk could be the man to benefit.<\/p>\n<p>When you choose NetBet Sport, you can enjoy a whole range of top-quality sports betting markets. Whatever you choose, always remember to bet responsibly.
