Thinking about making a soccer bet this weekend? Want to increase the excitement levels of the soccer action slightly? Or maybe you have a burning desire to learn how to use Betfair and need a game to focus on?
Well, how about taking a look at Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur, with Spurs travelling to Old Trafford for a game that the hosts will be desperate to win in order to continue the momentum from last weekend, when they secured their first away win of the season at Stoke. With United looking far from convincing so far this season, and with off the field issues impacting upon their efforts on the pitch, with the Wayne Rooney saga sure to be an unsettling influence, it's something of a surprise to see Tottenham rated as a 5/1 shot to get a win at the home of the Red Devils.
Remember this is the side that Wayne Rooney had such a lack of faith in that he initially refused to sign a new contract at the club; it's also the side that allowed West Brom to bounce back from 2-0 down to end the game with a creditable 2-2 draw.
Having said this, a Red Devils win should be on the cards, despite Tottenham's good form this season; United have a point to prove on home soil and should go about their business with a level of professionalism that results in all three points.
Perhaps of more interest to those who know how to gamble is the first goalscorer market. You'll have heard all the hype surrounding Javier Hernandez, unless you've been hiding in a remote cave somewhere, and with the form he's in, you wouldn't want to bet against him scoring first. He's shown a real killer instinct in front of goal in several United games so far this season, and was instrumental as a substitute in the team's midweek Carling Cup win, so may steal the show once more this weekend.
