CHICHARITO 6/5 TO SCORE IN MLS ALL-STARS VS MANCHESTER UNITED FRIENDLY
We’re just a few hours away from kick-off in the widely-anticipated fixture between Manchester United and the MLS All-Stars. One of the biggest stories here is the debut of Javier Hernandez who is the first Mexican player to sign for Manchester United. He had a solid World Cup in South Africa, scoring two goals and offering up a real contribution and you get the feeling that if Mexico went a bit further he would have been able to stamp his impression on the tournament a bit more.
Chicharito’s odds to score in this match are priced at 6/5 anytime and he’s 9/2 to score first or last, 5/1 to get two or more and 25/1 to nail a famous hat-trick. Only Dimitar Berbatov is more favoured than him with an even-money price to score at any point in the match.
Danny Welbeck is listed at odds of 5/4 to score anytime while he is at 5/1 to score first or last. Federico Macheda could feature in this one and you can back him alongside Mame Diouf at a 6/4 listing and an 11/2 first/last price.
Nani will be looking to build on the momentum he generated last year and, after missing out on the World Cup, he’ll be fresher than you might expect. Nani can be backed at 9/4 and will likely be taking a few set-pieces here. He’s shown in the past that he knows a thing or two about long-range strikes, which I think the MLS All-Stars will be vulnerable to.
Gabriel Obertan is trading at 11/4 to score anytime and he’s been looking sharp on the North American tour. Ryan Giggs is listed at 10/3 and will likely be orchestrating things in the middle of the park. Paul Scholes is a key figure as well and you can lock him in at 4/1 anytime.
For the MLS All-Stars, Edson Buddle and former Aston Villa star Juan Pablo Angel are the leading goalscorer contenders with 11/4 anytime odds. They are both 8/1 to open or close the scoring.
Landon Donovan’s odds to score against Manchester United are listed at 7/2 anytime and 10/1 first or last. Sebastien Le Toux is trading at 7/2 anytime and a 10/1 price to score first or last.
Dwayne De Rosario is also a decent bet to score and you can back him at a 5/1 price.
