Bristol City vs Manchester United Carabao Cup Betting PT 2
- By A.J. Ryder on December 20, 2017 19:29 GMTAnthony Martial is also in the starting line-up and you can lock in a very solid price of around 5/1 on the competitive French youngster right now. That’s good value at this point in time because he’s been absolutely on fire in front of goal lately and is seemingly involved with a lot of the build-up play that Manchester United use to score so many goals.
Marcus Rashford is a very solid price of around 6/1 to open the scoring and his pace has the ability to undo teams very quickly - particularly lower league sides that rely much more on organization and strength than they do taking on pacey wingers on the flanks.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan is another interesting option here but he hasn’t really been in the goals too much lately with a bit of composure lacking from his recent play. This is especially baffling since he has looked so good at times over the past couple of years in a Manchester United shirt.
Jesse Lingard is a really good shout here to make something happen in front of goal. Similar to Anthony Martial, he has really found his groove so far this season and, while there will always be a portion of footballing observers who think that Lingard is punching above his weight, he has been able to produce some real moments of magic lately and is a good example of the young players stepping up under Jose Mourinho’s reign.
If you think Bristol City will grab the first goal, you’re looking at anywhere between 13/2 and 12/1 for the likes of Bobby Reid to open the scoring.
