MANCHESTER UNITED VS BAYERN MUNICH LIVE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2ND LEG BETTING TIPS
We’re just a short-time away from kick-off and the Manchester United starting line-up has sent the bookmakers into a tizzy with Manchester United’s odds to win being slashed all over the place. Ladbrokes now have United trading at 1.66 with Bayern’s price inflating to 5.0. The draw can be backed at 3.75 and I expect these prices to fluctuate heavily during the in-play wagering.
In regards to outright qualification, Manchester United are now available at 1.8 ahead of Bayern at 1.9. Previously these odds had been deadlocked and the tide seems to be turning in Manchester United’s favour.
Wayne Rooney is now priced at 1.66 to score anytime while Berbatov is no longer a great bet since he has been dropped to the bench. Federico Macheda could make an appearance here and he’s listed at 2.75 while Mame Diouf and Nani can both be backed at 3.2.
Michael Carrick is set to start in a midfield with Nani, Fletcher, Gibson and Valencia. You’ll find them at 3.2, 6.0, 6.0 and 4.0, respectively.
The full team sheets for both sides are now available:
Man Utd: Van der Sar, Rafael Da Silva, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Gibson, Valencia, Rooney, Nani. Subs: Kuszczak, Berbatov, Giggs, Scholes, O'Shea, Jonathan Evans, Macheda.
Bayern Munich: Butt, Lahm, Van Buyten, Demichelis, Badstuber, Robben, Van Bommel, Schweinsteiger, Ribery, Olic, Muller. Subs: Rensing, Altintop, Klose, Pranjic, Contento, Gomez, Tymoschuk.
If you’re going to be betting live on this fixture, your best prices on Wayne Rooney are likely to come on the “to score next” market where you’ll likely find him around 7/2. You know that he’s going to the talisman here, but I get the feeling that Fergie has packed that midfield with long-range goalscorers. Darron Gibson has been selected for a reason and I think that Fergie has plans for him. He’ll be hovering around Paul Scholes office (the 10 feet just outside the box) looking to poach long range shots. I have a feeling that Fergie will want him to shoot with power so that the keeper deflects the ball while Rooney swoops in to scoop up the rebound.
