United Heavy Favourites to Topple Reading Part 2
- By Allan Pederson on February 18, 2013 17:10 GMT
Van Persie is the shortest-priced striker with an 8/13 price tag while Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney are both hovering around 8/11. Danny Welbeck sits at an even money price.
Shinji Kagawa didn’t really have a blockbuster match against Real and Ferguson pointed to the fact that he is struggling a bit with the physicality of the Premier League after shipping in from Germany, where you supposedly “can’t foul.” He is 6/4 to grab an anytime goal and he might find himself having an easier time here against Reading at Old Trafford.

As for the Royals, themselves, Adam Le Fondre is the betting choice to grab an anytime goal with a 4/1 price being floated. Noel Hunt sits at 5/1 alongside Pavel Pogrebnyak. Jason Roberts can be a threat in these types of matches and he’s a solid 6/1.
The big question seems to be whether or not United can put this one away early. Those who fancy the Red Devils to get the result might struggle to find a bit of value here but you’ll find draw/Man Utd in the double result market looking like a decent price. There is every chance that it might take a while to get going, and Reading should come into this one pretty fired up. It may take more than 45 minutes for United to break them down.
Over 6 first half corners looks to be the order of the day for United - look at them at a 13/8 price tag.
The favoured correct score result looks to be a 2-0 price and that’s trading at 7/1 - not bad value but a 3-2 at 25/1 looks even better. United to romp 5-0 like many of their top level compatriots did would reward at a solid 18/1.
