Chelsea vs Man Utd Betting – Penalty Special With Paddy Power

Betting tip published on 2 Feb 2012 from Free Bets Blog


Chelsea v Man Utd – Sunday 5th February (Sky Sports 1, 4pm)

In recent seasons Chelsea vs Man Utd would have been billed as one of the matches of the season, pitting together two teams fighting it out for the Premier League title. While Sir Alex Ferguson’s men are currently competing for an unprecedented 20th league crown, Chelsea are fighting just to keep their place in the top four. After a difficult few months Chelsea will be desperate for a confidence boosting win against their rivals and are the 6/4 favourites to do just that, while United are available at 15/8, with a draw priced at 9/4. If a penalty is scored in this match Paddy Power will refund all losing first/last goalscorer, correct score & scorecast singles.

Chelsea have been sluggish of late with costly back-to-back draws against Norwich and Swansea allowing the likes of Newcastle and Liverpool to close the gap. Their main aim this season is finishing in the top four for the tenth consecutive season but they certainly have a fight on their hands. Defeats at home to Arsenal, Liverpool and most recently Aston Villa highlight how Stamford Bridge is not the fortress it once was. Meanwhile Unitedhave an excellent record on the road, winning eight of their 11 away games this season. They have got the better of Chelsea recently, winning the last four encounters in all competitions, including a 3-1 win at Old Trafford back in September.

Just over a year since the £50million arrival of Fernando Torres and the Spaniard has scored a pitiful three league goals and hasn’t hit the back of the net for Chelsea since October – that’s over 1,000 minutes of football. He will still be haunted by the absolute sitter he missed at Old Trafford but what better way to redeem yourself then scoring against United at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Torres can be backed at 5/1 to open the scoring and 7/5 to score anytime. Juan Mata has been Chelsea’s stand-out player this season and is a tempting 13/2 to score first, with Daniel Sturridge is priced at 6/1. Wayne Rooney is expected to be back in the United starting line-up this week and has been handed odds of 5/1 to be the First Goalscorer. Javier Hernandez, who opened the scoring against Stoke mid-week, is available at 6/1, while Dimitar Berbatov has odds of 13/2.
