MANCHESTER UNITED VS SPURS SATURDAY PREMIER LEAGUE PREVIEW
Without a doubt, the biggest fixture on Saturday’s Premiership card is the Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur match that could briefly vault United to the top of the League or help Spurs solidify their stranglehold on 4th place. With fans from all over the world tuning into this massive fixture, the betting markets have doubtlessly heated up and Paddy Power is offering up an extremely exciting promo for this massive match.
If Spurs win the match, Paddy Power will refund all losing 1st/last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast singles on this match. How crazy is that? Usually you need an individual player to score last or for a goal to happen in the last 5 minutes, but this time you’re getting a refund if Spurs win outright. That’s an unbeatable promotion.
Manchester United usually do quite well against Tottenham, especially when playing at home. You’ll find United trading at 1/2 while the draw pays out at 3/1 and Spurs themselves pays a 6/1 margin. That may seem like higher odds than you would expect on Spurs, and I am in complete agreement. As much as I like United and their style of play, Spurs are playing about as sharp as I’ve ever seen them and they will come to Old Trafford brimming with confidence. I would have said 4/1 was a fair price, but 6/1 is sure to provoke even more betting action flooding in on Spurs.
United are a slim 6/5 to take both legs of the half-time/full-time market while draw/United pays out at 16/5. Draw/Spurs pays out at 13/1. Spurs to take both legs pays out at 12/1. The big cash comes from a half-time reverse and Tottenham/Manchester United pays 20/1 while Manchester United/Tottenham pays a whopping 60/1.
You’re looking at a 13/2 margin on a 1-0 result, a 2-0 or a 2-1 to United. The 1-1 draw is also listed at the exact same margin. Tottenham to win 1-0 pays out at 17/1 while a 2-0 result pays 50/1. Spurs 2-1 pays out at 18/1.
Wayne Rooney is expected to line up for this one and he trades at 4/6 anytime while he is at 3/1 for first goalscorer. Dimitar Berbatov trades at 6/5 anytime and 9/2 first or last. Antonio Valencia is usually worth a look and he’s at 5/2 while he trades at 8/1 first or last. Darren Fletcher will likely be deployed in this one and he’s at 9/2 anytime. Owen Hargreaves may make an appearance as well and you’ll find the Canadian at 7/1.
For Spurs, they’ll be looking to Jermaine Defoe at 11/5 anytime or Roman Pavluychenko at 11/4 anytime. Luka Modric is listed at 5/1 anytime. Gareth Bale is available at 6/1 anytime and he’s in a rich vein of form as of late.
