The Man Utd v Chelsea betting in this Man Utd, Chelsea UEFA Champions League Cup final, has United as narrow favourites. They are listed at 6/4 with most Bookmakers while Chelsea are just behind at 7/4.
These are interesting odds when one takes into account the last ten fixtures between the two sides. In those ten games United have only won twice, whereas Chelsea have won five times, including the last game played between the two in April. Admittedly, United are Premier League Champions, but how close was the League. Chelsea at one point were without hope of getting into the top two, let alone winning the Premier League. But since Christmas, they have gone from strength to strength and they very nearly caught United in the end.
Chelsea also have shown tremendous character under their manager, Avram Grant. He has been a Manager at the wrong end of some malicious media reporting, but the stronger he stayed, the stronger the team became. He clearly knows how to beat United, he has already proven that and he also knows how to win European games too. He has a team who really play for each other, they are always giving each other options and defensively they can rely on the whole team to help. Didier Drogba has been one of their best defenders this season at set pieces. In Frank Lampard they have a real match winner. He has not stopped scoring goals for Chelsea since he joined the Club and he has become the talisman of the team. Frank of course has recently endured the loss of his Mother, but he showed his great strength of character by scoring from the spot against Liverpool and boy what would he give to do the same to United. The odds against him scoring on the night are a very generous 5/2.
Goalscorer betting is always good fun in matches like this and backers can get good odds on most of those likely to score. Christiano Ronaldo is clear favourite and why not, his record has been fantastic this year, he is quoted at 7/2 to be the first scorer; Wayne Rooney is quoted at around 7/1 while Tevez is 15/2. Ronaldo is also favourite at 11/8 to score on the night, while Rooney is 15/8 and Tevez is 2/1. Chelsea best priced player to score on the night is Didier Drogba at 7/4, Frank Lampard is a 5/2 chance, while Michael Ballack scorer of both Chelsea’s goals against United in April, is also 5/2.
There is an outstanding offer with Paddy Power for those who bet on the Win-Draw-Win, Correct Score, 1st/last/anytime goalscorer and Half-time/Full-time markets as if Ronaldo scores within the 90 minutes then you will get your stake refunded up to a stake limit of £200.
