Burton Albion vs Manchester United
PUNTERS are giving non-league Burton Albion little hope of repeating their heroics against Manchester United in tonight's (Weds) FA Cup clash, according to bookmakers Ladbrokes.The Staffordshire side ground out a 0-0 draw against last year's losing finalists a week ago on Saturday, much to the relief of the betting industry.But there is little optimism that lightning will strike twice as they make the daunting trip to Old Trafford for the Third Round replay.Ladbrokes have taken next to no money on the Conference side so far whilst an internet punter from London has already had £10,000 on their opponents at 1/25.Ladbrokes spokesman Robin Hutchison said: "We've layed a total £250 on Burton on the net and phones so far - and fifty pounds of that was to a very optimistic punter in Ripley, Derbyshire. I think it's fair to say confidence isn't high."In fairly predictable contrast the big players have been on to buy money on United and we've taken even more four figure bets than last time."Burton are 3/1 to score at any time at Old Trafford, excluding a penalty shoot-out, and 10/1 to qualify from the tie.United are 5/2 to win by five or more goals and Nigel Clough is 100/1 to be the next permanent manager of Manchester United.LADBROKES LATEST BETTINGMatch bettingMan Utd 1/25Draw 7/1Burton 25/1Burton SpecialsTo qualify 10/1To score 3/1Nigel Clough to be next manager of Man Utd 100/1How many goals will United win by ?One 6/1Two 3/1Three 7/2Four 5/1Five or more 5/2Not to win (in normal time) 6/1HandicapsMan Utd -3 goals 11/8Burton + 3 goals 11/10Tie 7/2
