Bet on Man Utd vs Rangers – Ferdinand and Vidic ruled out
Published:Wayne Rooney will make his first start for Man Utd in two months when Sir Alex Ferguson’s side travel to Ibrox on Wednesday night.
But the absences of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic leave Rangers with the chance to score their first goal against Man Utd, and the Scottish club are 10/3 to upset their English neighbours and come away with three points.
Match Odds
Rangers are yet to beat or score against Man Utd in three ties between the two clubs, Sir Alex Ferguson’s side have won two of those three matches and are 5/6 to beat Rangers
Rangers may be forced into a more attacking line-up as defensive injuries also mount for the Scottish club which, rendering a repeat of the dour 0-0 stalemate at Old Trafford unlikely.
Rangers have won just one of their last 14 Champions League matches and even without the defensive stability that Ferdinand and Vidic bring, Man Utd can win comfortably and a 3-0 scoreline is priced at 12/1.
Total Goals
Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans will partner each other for the first time at the heart of the defence but the two are more than capable of shutting out the Rangers attack and Man Utd are 5/4 to keep a clean sheet.
Rooney will be hoping to win back the support of the fans with a strong performance and he is 11/8 to score any time and 4/1 to play the full 90 minutes.
Valencia vs Bursaspor
Valencia hammered Bursaspor in Turkey 4-0, scoring four goals from five shots, and in front of their home support, Valencia are as short as 1/6 to beat Bursaspor and 6/1 to win 4-0.
Only Maccabi Haifa and Deportivo have exited the Champions League without scoring a goal and Bursaspor have just two games in which to find one – Bursaspor are 5/1 to score the first goal.
A £10 stake on Rooney scoring first and Man Utd winning 3-0 would return £460. New customers can sign up here for a free £10 bet.
