MANCHESTER UNITED VS WEST HAM PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING TIPS
While it is definitely a Champions League day, be sure to check out Manchester United’s attempt to get things back on track today as they face off against an underwhelming West Ham side that is looking to put some distance between themselves and the relegation mire. UK bookmaker Blue Square sees big things for Sir Alex Ferguson’s men, who are looking to put a shock 3-1 loss to Everton behind them, and start making up ground on league leaders Chelsea.
United trade at a slim 1.2 to win the match while West Ham are listed at a massive 15.0. The draw pays 6.0 and that may be where some of the neutrals veer, banking on another sloppy performance from the Red Devils. United aren’t even offering much value on the handicap market either, with United (-1.0) listed at a slim 1.57. You can take the Hammers (+1.0) at a 4.0 price tag.
In regards to the correct score market, the favoured result is United to win 2-0 which pays out at a 6.0 margin. United to win 2-1 rewards at 8.5 while 3-0 to United pays 8.0. You’ll find some solid prices on blow-outs here with a 5-0 spanking listed at 23.0. 6-0 to United pays out at 41.0.
Should West Ham somehow sneak this one, their lowest price is 1-0 at 41.0 while a 2-1 result pays 67.0. A 1-1 draw is listed at 12.0 and a 2-2 victory is at 34.0.
United are favoured to keep a clean sheet with a price set at 1.73. Wayne Rooney is a very short 12.0 to notch a hat-trick in this one while United to score 4 or more goals pays out at 3.5.
Both Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen are listed at odds-on prices to score. Wazza trades at a slim 1.61 anytime while Owen can be backed at 1.91. Dimitar Berbatov is listed at 2.0 while Mame Diouf and Federico Macheda can be backed at 2.25. Keep your eye on Antonio Valencia if he starts as he is listed at a juicy 3.75. Gabriel Obertan is at 4.0 while Darron Gibson may make an appearance today- you’ll find him at 4.33.
Just for a bit of perspective to how heavily-favoured United are here, Wayne Rooney to score/United to win on a double only pays out at 1.8.
West Ham will need to produce a performance for the ages to take this one and, although I think they have a chance of staying up, today’s fixture likely won’t help the cause.
