BETFAIR MANCHESTER UNITED VS ARSENAL CHAMPIONS LEAGUE BETTING TIPS

There is plenty of betting action available on the Arsenal vs Manchester United Champions league fixture which kicks off on Wednesday. With Arsene Wenger's men listed at 5.1, you know which way the bookies think this one is going to go, but every all-English semi-final usually produces a few moments of magic. I think there is definitely a chance for Arsenal to take this one, but they need to perform at their absolute best, and count on a few mistakes from United as well. Man U are listed at 1.85 for the outright victory with the draw paying out at 3.75. In terms of correct score betting, a 1-0 result to United is the favoured outcome with a price around 7.0. A 2-0 victory pays close to 10.0 with a 1-1 draw available at 8.4. The away goal is crucial here and Arsenal will be gunning for one. The only issue is leaving themselves exposed at the back- and that's where Arsenal are weakest. I don't expect a swashbuckling performance from United at Old Trafford, if they go 1-0 up they will likely play as though its still 0-0. Not conceding is the priority for Sir Alex. They can win at Arsenal if they have to. If you think Van Der Sar can keep a clean sheet then you're looking at 2.32. That's good odds if you ask me. Arsenal are very much favoured not to keep a clean sheet and their price is listed at 4.6 to keep United from scoring. In terms of outright qualification, United are the strong favourites at 1.65 compared with Arsenal's 2.52. Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, both coming off a blockbuster performance against Spurs at the weekend, are the favoured players to score anytime. They carry odds of 2.64 and 2.76, respectively and I can see them both getting on the scoresheet. Nemanja Vidic carries a slim price of 9.0 for an anytime goal and I still consider that good value. I can certainly see the opening goal coming from a setpiece and Arsenal aren't exactly the best at defending those. I think Vidic is a real goal-threat here and he hasn't gotten on the scoresheet for a while. I think he's due. PREDICTION:A slightly nervy 2-0 with Vidic and Rooney scoring. A red card for Arsenal isn't out of the question.
