MANCHESTER UNITED VS BARCELONA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL LAST MINUTE BETTING TIPS

We're only about an hour and a half from kick-off at this point and we're expecting the team sheets very soon. I'm expecting United to sit deep for the opening 20 minutes and invite Barcelona onto them. There's going to be a very interesting battle between Thierry Henry and John O'Shea on the left side of United's defence while Patrice Evra will be tasked with keeping Lionel Messi in his pocket. Evra won both legs of this encounter last year and I could very much see him silencing the talented young Argentine once again. The match-ups are very interesting tonight and I think that Cristiano Ronaldo vs the Barcelona central defence is going to be the story of the evening. I expect to see Yaya Toure and Keita facing off against him and there is a very distinct possibility that Ronaldo will absolutely pull them apart.I think United are much more dangerous than Barca from set pieces and free kicks. Corners especially will be a strength for United as they hold a height advantage that cannot be understated. The last 24 hours have seen punters piling onto Manchester United and they are now at less than evens to win the cup. The bookmakers don't think that this one will go to overtime and the only way I think it will happen is if we see something like a 2-2 draw. I think 2-1 each way isn't a bad bet, but I'm willing to go out on a limb and pinpoint 3-0 to United as excellent value. Barcelona do not have a plan B going into this. If the Three Amigos, Samuel Eto'o, Lionel Messi and Thierry Henry can't get the job done- what happens? How can Barcelona expect to contain this United side (fresh from a weekend rest) when they've already performed on the biggest stage?Barcelona to be ahead at half-time and United to win pays out at 20/1. Both teams are 7/4 to keep a clean sheet. That's very favourable to United and is more than worth a punt. Cristiano Ronaldo is 4/1 to score with a header and that's very good value. He's 2/1 to score with a foot, 15/8 to score from inside the box and 9/2 to score from outside the box. I'm predicting 3-0, 3-1 and 2-1 all in favour of United. I'm favouring Vidic, Ronaldo and Park to score.
