Manchester United v Arsenal Champions League preview



It's the turn of Manchester United and Arsenal to battle it out in the Champions league semi final at Old Tarfford tonight. This will be the frst time the two teams have met in the Champions League and we can expect a fiercly competitive match.



We've previewd the game fully at our website but we've included some of the bets we're recommending for the match tonight below:



Statistically Champions league semi finals haven’t yielded too many goals over the years. The last 20 semi final matches in the Champions league have thrown up just 36 goals and so statistically the under 2.5 goals at 4/6 ( Paddypower) should be a bet to be thinking about. Having said that six of the last nine meetings between the two teams has yielded over 2.5 goals and with both teams knocking in the goals of late (United scoring 12 in their last four at home, Arsenal scoring 12 in their last four away) we’re recommending the over 2.5 goals bet at 6/5 (Betfred).

Taking both teams to score at Evens (Sportingbet) is a bet to be thinking about. Arsenal have scored once in six of their last 10 visits to Old Trafford and we’d recommend a having a bet on this.

United and Arsenal affairs tend to be pretty cagey affairs, especially early in the game and so it could pay to look at halftime/full time results of Draw/draw 4/1 (Betfred) or the bet we’re selecting of the Draw/Manchester United at 39/10 (Betdaq).

We think home advantage might just give United the edge in this match and we’re going for a home win. In five of the last six league meetings the winning team has scored two goals and so United to win 2-0 7/1 (888Sport) and the 2-1 score 8/1 (Sportingbet) are both worth considering.

We’re tipping the latter and we are also going to select Cristiano Ronaldo 5/1 (BetUK) to be first goalscorer.
