Earlier this week saw the excitement of the play-offs with Hull and Bristol City both making it to the Championship final and Leeds overturning a 2-0 deficit against Carlisle in their bid to make an immediate return to the second tier.

Here at swfc.co.uk we correctly tipped Danny Graham to score the opening goal and Carlisle to win 2-1 at Elland Road - and also that Leeds would triumph 2-0 in the return fixture. A £5 bet on each would have won you over £600!

If you didn't back these bets, don't worry as you can make up for it this weekend as the FA Cup final kicks off with Bet365.

Both Cardiff and Portsmouth are surprise packages in the competition this season, claiming some notable scalps on the way. Harry Redknapp's side have had to overcome Premier League champions Manchester United at Old Trafford as well as tough Championship opposition in the form of Ipswich Town, who rarely stumbled on home soil this season.

Dave Jones' men seemed to struggle in the third round against non-league outfit Chasetown, going a goal behind after 17 minutes but have since shown the kind of form worthy of a date at Wembley.

Not surprisingly Portsmouth are favourites with Bet365 after a successful season in the top flight, finishing just three places short of European football next term.

The Premiership outfit are 4/5 to win the game while Cardiff City are 4/1 - and with the successes of Championship sides in the FA Cup this season it would be difficult to rule the Bluebirds out.

Portsmouth have won all but one of their FA Cup ties by one goal to nil on the road to Wembley and if you think that they could repeat this on Saturday Bet365 will give odds of 11/2.

However, Cardiff go into the final in good form having comfortably defeated Barnsley 3-0 on the final day of the season. Joe Ledley has scored four goals in his last six games and for the midfielder to score first on Saturday and Cardiff to win 2-0, Bet365 are offering hugely generous odds of 270/1.

Alternatively for the neutral spectator, we will all be hoping for a thrilling game, full of excitement and goals. For the game to finish 3-3 after 90 minutes you can get odds of 66/1.

For one of the most famous cup competitions in football, now would be the ideal time to register with Bet365, and make your FA Cup predictions.
