Manchester United v Chelsea
Friday, January 9th, 2009There’s an enthralling clash between the Premier League’s two biggest clubs on Sunday afternoon, and as always Sportingbet has loads of markets available. From 1st Goalscorer to Method of 1st Goal, you’re sure to find the bet you’re looking for.
So who’s your fancy to come out on top after 90 minutes?
In a season of below par performances at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea have put together an away record to rival any team in Europe. With 8 wins on the road, 23 goals scored and just 3 conceded, Phil Scolari’s men have more than made up for their lesser home form. Will the visitors grab all 3 points and put themselves in pole position for the title or will they end the day 1 point ahead of their rivals but having played 2 more games? If you have any doubt, the draw at 21/10 looks the best option.

Don’t fancy picking the end result? Then how about predicting whether it will be a high or low scoring game? If you want to be even more specific – bet on what the half-time score will be!
If you think Chelsea will score the first goal, then it’s 13/10, or you’ve got a horrible feeling we might be in for a bore draw then 0-0 is 8/1! If you’re looking for bigger prices then some of the more quirky markets available include ‘Own Goal as 1st Goal of game’ at 9/1 and Man Utd – Chelsea HT-FT at 50/1!
90 Minutes – Over/Under Goals Half-time – Over/Under Goals
Over 1.5 Under 1.5 Over 0.5 Under 0.5
7/20 39/20 2/5 13/8
Over 2.5 Under 2.5 Over 1.5 Under 1.5
6/5 3/5 23/10 2/7
Over 3.5 Under 3.5
100/30 9/50
Of course you can find all your old favourites too. First Goalscorer, Correct Score, Scorecast, HT-FT plus loads more. In what could be Ryan Giggs’ last Old Trafford showdown with the Blues, can he hit the net first at 14/1? If, however, you don’t believe in fairytales, maybe Cristiano Ronaldo at 11/2 is a safer bet.
