Derby v Man Utd Odds

The Derby v Man Utd odds for this Derby Man Utd betting League Cup semi final first leg match at Pride Park, has United as overwhelming favourites to reach the final at Wembley in March. Cup matches very often create shocks but if Derby were to somehow overcome their troubles and get the better of United it would be a minor miracle.

Derby qualified for the semi final after defeating Stoke City 1-0 with a last minute goal from Nathan Ellington, who is in fact the competitions top scorer with six goals. That win came prior to the departure of manager, Paul Jewel, after a woeful season which has seen Derby rooted in the bottom half of the Championship. Caretaker boss, Paul Hutchings will be hoping to be appointed as replacement, but he knows that the job will not necessarily depend on the outcome of this two leg affair.

Derby come into the game after just getting home against non-leaguers, Forest green 4-3 in the FA Cup third round match last weekend, that has earned them a fourth round tie against local rivals Nottingham Forest.

United have not lost a match in any competition since the beginning of November and are clearly gathering momentum at exactly the right time. At present they are still in four major tournaments and it is not beyong them to win them all. They showed all their ruthlessness last week against Southampton, knocking them out of the FA Cup by 3-0 and they will surely be looking for a similar result here.

Nathan Ellington is a 3/1 shot with Corals to get on the score sheet in this match.
