2008 FIFA WORLD CLUB CUP BETTING TIPS

In a move that is surely to shock exactly nobody, Manchester United are listed as the outright favourites to secure the FIFA World Club Cup championship in Japan. Having checked out the action at Centrebet Sports, a really solid spot to bet on football, I'm really quite confident that United will relish playing in these sort of circumstances and that their players will, quite frankly, be able to walk all over the opposition.BIGGEST THREATThe biggest threat could be Gamba Osaka, who are basically playing the tournament as hosts. Australia's Adelaide United should be swept aside relatively easily and, from what I can tell, LDU Quito look like the really likely contenders after United, although you really have to keep your eyes on Egypt's Al Ahly- the perennial African representatives at this tournament. United will be deploying a number of their first team stars as they won't be schlepping the team over to Japan just to have them sit around and pose for pictures. I think United's players will have the opportunity to find more space on the pitch (and pitches in Japan tend to be on the big side) and I'm also confident that many of these teams don't come up against teams who play United's type of football very often. Combining the slick counter-attacking with a strong central defensive partnership and pace on the flanks, this tournament is definitely United's to lose. You can back them at 1.47 at Centrebet Sports. They'll also be offering match betting as the dates draw nearer.RECOMMENDATIONSBack United to win outright.Back Anderson to score his first United goal.Back Wayne Rooney to hit a hat-trick.
