MANCHESTER UNITED VS SCUNTHORPE LAST MINUTE BETTING PREDICTIONS

We’re just a short period away from kick-off in today’s feature Carling Cup clash. Manchester United travel to Scunthorpe in what looks to be a pretty serious mismatch, but you probably could have said that about Everton’s match yesterday. We all know how that panned out. United haven’t been immune from dropping cup fixtures against lesser opposition, as anybody who remembers the 0-0 draw to Exeter will likely attest.
Ladbrokes have nearly 100 different markets on the match and they’re pricing United at 1.44 to win the fixture in the first 90 minutes while Scunthorpe are available at a 7.0 listing. The draw can be backed at 4.33.
The favourite market today looks to be United to take both legs of the half-time/full-time market and you can lock in an even money price on them to pull that off. Draw/Manchester United is trading at 4.5 while draw/draw trades at 6.5.
Wayne Rooney may not line up for this one, at least not as a starter, but he is the favoured anytime goalscorer with a 1.5 listing. Dimitar Berbatov, Javier Hernandez and Michael Owen are all trading at even money to grab a goal at any point in the match. Federico Macheda and Bebe are both listed at 2.37 and they both have a great chance of playing in this fixture.
Ryan Giggs is sitting at 3.0 ahead of Nani at 3.25, who is listed at the same price as Paul Scholes. Darron Gibson, Park Ji-Sung and Gabriel Obertan are all available at 4.0 prices.
The bookmakers definitely favour goals today and the over/under at 2.5 is favouring the over- pricing it at 1.53. The under is trading at 2.37. Over 3.5 is a solid bet at 2.25.
A player to see a red card at any point will reward at 5.5 while a penalty to be awarded at any point is sitting at 3.0.
The best bet for this match is likely Manchester United to win to nil at 2.75 with Ladbrokes.
