Sunderland vs Manchester United Tips Pt 2
- By A.J. Ryder on January 6, 2014 21:48 GMTRobin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney are both likely to factor into this fixture and it’s going to be important to get the Dutchman back and scoring goals on a regular basis again. Last year’s top scorer has been plagued by injuries and it has been a very difficult gap to fill - even with Wayne Rooney playing some decent stuff as of late as well.

Look for Manchester United to win at a slim 1.8 price tag and Sunderland to get the result with a 4.5 listing from Ladbrokes. The draw rewards at a 3.8 price and that will probably be a popular wager for neutral fans and ABU’s alike.
United are favoured to just scrape this one with a 1-0 result being the shortest priced correct score margin. It trades at an 8.0 price and that puts it right alongside the 1-1 draw. A 2-1 result to United pays out at 8.5 while a 2-0 victory would pay a mere 2-0. It looks obvious that the bookies expect this one to be extremely tight.
In regards to the first goalscorer option, you’ll find Van Persie at a 4.5 margin to score the first goal. Wayne Rooney is trading at 5.0 while Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck trade at an identical 5.5.
This makes for some interesting wagers, but you’re going to have to keep an eye firmly-fixed on the team sheets if you’re going to really extract maximum value out of that wager. You don’t want to back a player at odds like that and then see him not even start the match.
In regards to outright qualification, Manchester United are a very slim 1.14 to get the outright result while Sunderland are a lengthy 5.0.
