You'll find the Turkish Champions available at a lengthy 13/2 if you think they can pull off the home victory. The draw is available at 14/5, and those odds have increased slightly over the past 24 hours. Manchester United are favoured to win 1-0 at 11/2 with United 2-0 the other favourite option at 6/1. A 1-1 draw is listed at 13/2 while a scoreless draw will pay out at 7/1.

Draw/Man United is listed at 16/5 and that is very plausible. If united go behind early and then pull off a victory, a Besiktas/Manchester United call would garner a 25/1 price. Punters can also back United to score in both halves at 7/4. If United score first and fail to win, you're looking at 5/1. United to come from behind and win is at 8/1.United are odds on (10/11) to keep a clean sheet and 11/8 to win to nil. Wayne Rooney is the favoured goalscorer in the match and he's been in good form as of late. His 4/1 first and last goalscorer price is a solid bet while he is 11/10 anytime. Michael Owen and Dimitar Berbatov are together at 11/8. Additionally, Rooney is 6/1 to score twice and 33/1 to score a hat-trick. Nihat Kahveci is the favoured to notch one for Besiktas at 11/4, while Marcio Nobre and Bobo are at 3/1. 2-0 to United is a solid bet, but if they can really get off the mark early then I don't think 3-0 or 4-1 is out of the question at all. Rooney should score and I think Michael Owen is a good bet later on.
