Back the unders in Man Utd/Spurs on Saturday
There looks to be some betting value in the over/under market on Saturday evening when Manchester United play host to Spurs in the 5.30pm game live on Setanta. We favour betting on under 2.5 goals here - which is available with BetUK at 9/10.
Rio Ferdinand sat out Wednesday’s game but if he returns to partner Nemanja Vidic in defence here then under 2.5 goals is the way to go. The ‘blip’ of no clean sheets for 5 successive games appears to have been well and truly eradicated, with 3 shut-outs on the spin versus Porto, Everton and Portsmouth – no surprise that this coincided with Ferdinand’s return. As a result, the Reds have been under 2.5 in their last 3 consecutive games and with Arsenal on the horizon next week, we would expect a similarly professional performance from the home side here.
Not that Tottenham can’t play their part – they have kept 5 clean sheets in their last 9 league games so will not roll over for a home procession like many non big four sides do at Old Trafford. Their new-found defensive resiliency does, however, re-enforce the quote on unders and given they have seen 2 goals or less in 8 of their last 12 games (all competitions), a price of 9/10 on that outcome here is worth an investment.
