Derby Match

It is a popular choice. I quite like it. I expect it to be quite an open game that will welcome a lot of goals. City's strikers are in form but their defence has been average all year. Utd should have Rooney starting and he is in the form of his life, even with a slight injury.

Definitely worth a punt.

Overs seem good.City are on fire and Utd must win. I like the home win also

roooney back ?

samus82 · 04-17-10, 04:52 AM

Yeah, I am pretty certain he will start. Ferguson needs a win here no matter what. Rooney is better than 50/50 so he'll start. Similar to the Bayern Munich match, but the game is more important and Rooney is in better shape.

Just confirmed by BBC that Wayne Rooney is starting.

Starting to regret not having a go on Utd now. The odds have shortened a lot since yesterday because of Rooney.

what's at stake for both teams in this one? do they both need this win or will they be happy with a draw?

Tommy_de1st · 04-17-10, 06:11 AM

City are fighting for a CL spot and United wait for a Chelsea slip in the title race so they cant afford losing

fuglyboy86hi · 04-17-10, 06:11 AM

still confused to take any side, both need a win, so i think i'll be pretty easy with Over.!! BOL to you guys

Thanks samus82 for the info

fuglyboy86hi · 04-17-10, 06:12 AM

CFC match is also important , cause MANU are seeking time for chelsea to slip from a match and they'll be back in the race so Chelsea And Manu both need a win !

No problem mate.

Utd have to win, simple as that. City definitely could do with a win, but I think they could get away with a draw. If it is a draw with 10 minutes to go I can see Mancini settling, whereas Ferguson would charge his men forward. City are playing 2 defensive midfielders (Barry and De Jong) and relying on their width to get the job done, it is definitely not a team selection made to go all out for a win.

No doubt in my mind that City will be feeling the pressure more than Utd. Utd have been here plenty of times before and they are expers at closing out a season strong, but this is new territory for City which such a big goal on the horizon. I'm not saying they will choke, but they will be nervous.

I could go on trying to justify Utds case. By the way this is advice aimed at warning you against betting City rather than urging Utd.

2 losses avoided are as good as 2 wins
