Don't bet on the match, bet on United going through even though the odds aren't particularly tempting, you know Fergie's men will get the job done. Judging by the bookmakers stance, they are banking on Derby to park the team bus across the face of goal, similarly to how it was done in the opening fixture. The most favoured goalscorers are Derby all come in at 7/2 (Ellington and Hulse) while United's front line of Cristiano Ronaldo, Dimitar Berbatov and Carlos Tevez all pay between 4/7 and 4/5 for anytime goalscorer. Personally, I'm liking the 16/1 on Nemanja Vidic as last goalscorer. I'm confident United will have the match at 2-0 at Halftime, and will likely add a third in the latter stage of the second half. I think United will be buoyed by their recent defensive performances and will look at anything other than a clean sheet in this match as a total failure. United will perform here and I expect Fergie to name a first-class side.
