WILLIAM HILL LAST MINUTE MANCHESTER UNITED VS ARSENAL BETTING TIPS
William Hill has put together a really solid promotion for the widely-anticipated Champions League clash between Arsenal and Manchester United. If you place a £20 wager on the outcome of the match, William Hill will give you a £5 free bet to wager on the live correct score market! How's that for solid odds? Back Manchester United at 5/6 (which is a very solid bet considering Arsenal's odds) and then jump onto a 3-0 or 2-0 scoreline for a sweet payout!Arsenal are listed at 19/5 to take the victory today and 6/5 to qualify outright. United are 5/6 for today's match-up, but a mere 8/13 to go through to their second straight Champions League final. For my money, I can't back Arsenal here. They're a quality team and are capable of beating United if they play perfectly. However, with their defence in shambles and United literally at 100% strength (minus Owen Hargreaves) you have to put the odds in favour of United, especially at home. The favoured scorelines from the bookies are 1-0 and 1-1 at 5/1 with a 2-0 victory paying slightly more at 11/2. In the world of two-legged ties there is a massive difference between a 1-1 and a 2-0. United will try to put the tie to bed early and I can see them coming out guns blazing in the first half. If United can put two past Almunia before the first 45 is up, then they will have effectively ended the tie. The key for Fergie here is not conceding. Conveniently, United have more clean sheets in the competition than anybody else. United are 6/5 to keep a clean sheet and 13/10 to win to nil. United are a whopping 4/1 to win both halves and I think that's a really quality bet. PREDICTION:United run out 3-0 winners @ 14/1 with goals from Rooney, Ronaldo and Vidic.
