Manchester United vs Stoke City Betting Preview PT 2

Those looking to back Stoke City for the outright win are looking at a hefty price as high as a 16/1 margin with the majority of them going around a 14/1 or even 12/1 margin to get the result against Manchester United at Old Trafford. It really comes down to grabbing the first goal and then parking the bus for the Potters here and you reckon they’d be happy to leave with a point.

It’s probably not a gigantic surprise that Manchester United dominate the first goalscorer market with a number of their players trading at pretty short prices to open the scoring. Obviously, it’s important to wait until you see the teamsheets before you opt into a first goalscorer wager so keep your eyes peeled and then lock in your wagers quickly.

Romelu Lukaku is slated to start here according to most individuals and you’ll find him priced around a 3/1 margin to grab the first goal. He has been improving in recent weeks but he hasn’t been quite the battering ram United have needed - often occupying defenders to open things up for other players like Anthony Martial or Jesse Lingard as opposed to grabbing a bagful of goals himself on a regular basis for United.

Marcus Rashford is priced as high as a 24/5 margin on the exchanges and you’ll find him as short as 3/1 with a few bookmakers. Rashford continues to improve and he always troubles sides that play with a particularly high line like Stoke City tend to be playing.

Anthony Martial can be backed at a 9/2 margin and Jesse Lingard looks to be a really solid option with a listing fo around 6/1 so be sure to keep your eye on the odds during the build-up to this massive contest.
