Man Utd Good Odds To Triumph Over Benfica In Champions League Opener
Wednesday 14 September 2011 at 11:23
 Man Utd, who have reached three Champions League Finals in four seasons, begin their Champions League campaign in Portugal tonight against Benfica and despite being a relatively big price to win the match Man Utd have been an overwhelming choice in the OLBG Tipster Competition, suggesting they are good value to win the match.
Man Utd Proving Hugely Popular To Beat Benfica
Almost 91% of OLBG tipsters have gone for Man Utd to win this match despite the away team being available at a generous looking even money with Bet365, William Hill and SkyBet. Squire is one of the tipsters who has backed Man Utd and although he thinks it will be tough he fully expects punters who have taken the even money to be rewarded:
“This will be a tricky match up, with Benfica boasting a solid home record. United are due to make changes to the team that could well see some more experienced faces return to the side. This could be key to a United victory. These players know how to get the job done in Europe. United have reached the final of the CL 3/4 seasons. This is a record to be respected, I fully believe the Reds will have enough to get the job done in Lisbon."
A home win has proved slightly more popular in the OLBG tipping competition than the draw, 4.7% of tipsters have backed Benfica at 10/3 with Ladbrokes whilst 4.4% of tipsters have gone for the draw at 5/2 with Boylesports.
Tipsters Expect Rooney And Hernandez To Be Amongst Goals
The correct score betting is the second most popular market on this match in the OLBG tipster competition, tipsters in this market seem a bit more confident of a big win for Man Utd with 3-1 proving the most popular tip, that has attracted over 20% of the tips and is 16/1 with SkyBet whilst 2-0 is next best with over 13% of tips, that outcome can be backed at 9/1 with William Hill and Paddy Power. In the first goalscorer betting tipsters are torn between Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez, who scored five between them at the weekend, they have attracted almost 70% of the first scorer tips between them with Rooney just about the most popular selection, he is 11/2 with William Hill to score first whilst Hernandez is 13/2 with William Hill to open the scoring.
