After a surprising turn of events in the game against Everton, Manchester United lost the 2 goal lead from the 91st to the 93rd minute and got only a point from the game. Now with all that behind, the team has to focus on the group stage opener against Rangers.
Unlike most of the other opponents on Tuesday, these two teams have met before in this stage of the tournaments back in the 2003/2004 edition where United won with 3:0 at home and 1:0 away in Scotland.
Here’s an interesting fact about the Scottish manager of Manchester United, Alex Ferguson: Ferguson was a boyhood Rangers fan who later played for the club and he has had two spells working alongside the Scottish champions’ manager Walter Smith, first in the Scotland set-up and later at Old Trafford.
Rangers picked up just two points in last season’s group stage – both earned on their travels, at VfB Stuttgart and FC Unirea Urziceni.
United’s four previous home matches against Scottish visitors yielded three wins and a draw, and while there’s almost no doubt that they will win this one as well, the odds for a win are quite low.
So far United has scored 14 goals in 5 games, where they have scored at least 3 each game at home.
The Betting Verdict?
Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.63 (Register at Betfair.com – 25£ Sign up Bonus): Knowing the statistics of how well United does at home, and taking into consideration the past two home games from Premier League, and the game between these two teams 7 years ago, I think it’s only logical to be looking for that Over 2.5 Goals bet. Another good bet might be Manchester United Clean Sheet @ 1.7
