Man Utd Odds on to beat Porto as they Resume Quest for the Quad!
April 7, 2009
Man Utd resume their quest for the elusive Quad when they welcome Porto to old Trafford on Tuesday in the first leg of their Champions League Quarter Final. With the Carling Cup in the bag and the Reds sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League, Sir Alex Ferguson’s sides attention will be firmly focussed on making home advantage count at Old Trafford and taking a lead to Portugal next week for the return leg.
United are 2/5 with Bet365 to secure the home win, but they will surely be looking to score more than one goal and keep a clean sheet (4/5 with Totesport) at the same time, somethign that the return of Vidic and Ferdinand to the squad will surely help.
In the correct score market, Manchester United to win 2-0 (11/2 with Betfred) and 3-0 (17/2 with Bet365) make most appeal and in the first goalscorer market, it is difficult to look beyond either Ronaldo (4/1 best odds at Ladbrokes) or Wayne Rooney, who is a best prce 5/1 chance at Bet365.
