MANCHESTER UNITED VS SCUNTHORPE STARTING LINEUPS AND LATEST ODDS
We’ve just had the starting lineups released for todays massive Carling Cup fixture between Manchester United and Scunthorpe. The gulf between the Premier League and the Championship will likely be exposed today, but the Irons will fancy themselves to take a point at home in front of their fans. United aren’t the most beatable side but if Scunthorpe stay organized then you reckon they could force extra-time.
Here is the starting lineup for Manchester United:
Manchester United: Kuszczak, Brown, Ferdinand, Smalling, Rafael, Gibson, Anderson, Park, Owen, Macheda, Chicharito
You’d reckon that United’s lineup really has a youthful feel to it and that isn’t entirely surprising. This is the team that Fergie expects to transition into the first squad over the next five years or so and you can pick out the ones that will genuinely make it and go on to be the John O’Sheas and the Wes Browns of the next generation of United players.
There’s going to be a number of very interesting live betting options available on this one and Ladbrokes is definitely a solid destination if you’re looking to lock in an in-play wager. You’ll be able to wager live on next goalscorer and anytime goalscorer- which are two markets where you can really make cash from chaos.
Darron Gibson’s 4.0 price to score anytime looks especially solid, but his odds to score first in the match are even more interesting. You can back Gibson to score first at 11.0.
United to dominate the match and be leading at the end of both halves is trading at an even money price while over 3.5 goals in the match will reward at 2.25. You can get a vert solid 4.33 listing on Manchester United (-2.0) while they are 5.0 to win the first half on a (-1.0) handicap.
The favoured correct score option looks to be either 1-0 or 2-0 to United, with both options at a 7.0 listing. A 1-1 or 2-1 result are both trading at 8.0 while a 3-0 win is priced at 9.0. You can get a 10.0 payout on 3-1 to United or 1-0 to Scunthorpe.
