MANCHESTER UNITED VS VALENCIA STARTING LINEUPS AND LATEST ODDS
We’ve just seen the Manchester United starting line-ups announced for their Champions League fixture against Valencia and there are no really big surprises in this one, although we do have confirmation that Anderson will be starting in midfield alongside Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher.
Here is the starting line up for Manchester United:
Van der Sar; Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson; Nani, Berbatov, Park.
We had predicted that Nani and Park would be the ones providing cover for the lone front man Dimitar Berbatov. Park tends to excel in matches like this as his work-rate tends to wear down the opposition. Nani will be looking to provide quality crosses and give the team some width by getting to the by-line for crosses.
Dimitar Berbatov’s odds to score the opening goal in the match are trading at 6.5 with popular bookmaker Ladbrokes. Valencia’s Aritz Aduriz is trading at a 7.0 price tag while Roberto Soldado can be backed at 8.0.
An anytime goal from Dimitar Berbatov is trading at 2.75 while Aritz Aduriz is priced at 3.0 anytime. Keep your eyes on Darren Fletcher at 6.0 and Patrice Evra at a whopping 16.0 price tag.
The 2.5 over/under on goals is favouring the under at a 1.66 price while the over is priced at 2.1. Valencia on a (-1.0) handicap is trading at 5.5 while Manchester United (+1.0) is priced at a slim 1.4.
United are paying out at 3.0 to win the first half while Valencia trade at 3.4. A drawn first half is priced at even money. United are 4.0 to win to nil while Valencia are trading at 4.33.
