FC United arrive at this FA Cup Final having won just once in their last five, drawing three times and losing once. Their attack has scored in only 3 of those 5 matches. Altrincham, by contrast, carry sharper form: 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, with 8 goals scored and only 4 conceded. They also kept 3 clean sheets in that run. The only head-to-head on record ended 0-0 three days ago, with neither side finding the net. Goals have been scarce whenever these two meet. Altrincham's superior recent form and defensive solidity make them the logical pick. At 1.90, the away win represents clear value against a FC United side short of confidence. Under 2.5 goals at 2.16-2.20 is the supporting angle, with both teams scoring in just 2 of Altrincham's last 5 and the h2h blank fresh in the memory.
