Football betting: Premier League - Man Utd vs Man City

It's no great surprise to find Manchester United priced as low as 2/7 to beat Manchester City this Sunday (live on Sky Sports 1 at 13.30) but where Paddy Power have raised an eyebrow or two is with their 'Fast Forwards' promotion this weekend.

If Cristiano Ronaldo scores last in the Manchester derby the Irish bookmaker will refund all first/last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast single bets. One brief glance at the Portuguese winker's scoring record should alleviate any concerns as to the viability of this bet. Ronaldo has scored a phenomenal 27 goals in 29 matches and hit the net in eight of the last ten matches. Given that he didn't score at White Hart Lane last weekend, he is all the more likely to do so against City, particularly as Wayne Rooney misses the match through suspension. Add the fact that, away from home, Sven-Goran Eriksson's men are like a fish up a tree makes this offering especially appealing. City have managed just two Premier League away wins all season, while United are simply unbeatable at Old Trafford, where they have won 12 out of 13 matches. Needless to say, the 50th anniversary of the passing of the Busby Babes will make the champions doubly determined to beat their city rivals, who surprised them with a 1-0 win early on in the campaign, but who will be without Elano, also through suspension. So back Ronaldo to score first, and if he doesn't, you will almost certainly get your money back when he notches later on. It's also worth making United a home banker in a fourfold with Bologna (10/11), who are top of the Italian second division and should have no problem overcoming eighth-placed Rimini on Saturday, Inter, who are walking Serie A and priced a generous 4/7 to beat Catania and Spurs (8/15) to win at lowly Derby County and Everton (8/15) to keep their excellent form up against a Reading side without a win in nine matches. Verdict: 3pts Ronaldo first goalscorer @ 7/2; 2pts accumulator on Man Utd, Bologna, Inter, Spurs and Everton @ 9/1 (Paddy Power).
