MANCHESTER UNITED VS SUNDERLAND BETTING TIPS AND OWEN HARGREAVES ODDS
Sir Alex Ferguson's men pulled off a great last-minute result in their midweek Champions League fixture against Valencia, and you reckon that they'll come into this match with plenty of confidence- especially in the defensive area where things have looked especially dodgy as of late.
Sunderland are a force to be reckoned with and you can never underestimate a side that boasts an in-form Darren Bent.
United are considered to be the odds-on favourites for this one with William Hill pricing them at a 4/5 price against Sunderland's 4/1 listing. You can get a 9/4 price tag on the draw, but neither of these teams will be satisfied with that.
The lowest-priced correct score line is looking like a 1-0 result to United and you can back that at a 6/1 price. A 1-1 draw pays out at 13/2 while 2-0 or 2-1 pay out at 17/2.
Should Sunderland pull off a home victory- it is favoured to be either a 1-0 at 11/1 or a 2-1 result at 14/1.
One of the biggest stories coming into this match is the rumoured appearance of Canadian Owen Hargreaves- who would be completing a miraculous comeback from a nasty string of surgeries to cure a terrible tendinitis problem.
United have been missing a midfield anchorman and you can bet that if Hargreaves comes back in at the form he left in, then he will basically be like a new signing.
As a vote of confidence, William Hill has listed odds for Owen Hargreaves to score in this one and, if his name is on the teamsheet, then you reckon he'll be seeing a fair amount of betting volume.
You can get an 8/1 price on Owen Hargreaves to score at any point and he's 25/1 to score first or last. The Canadian is 33/1 to get two or more and a massive 250/1 to get a hat-trick.
