UEFA Champions League Group Stage: Valencia vs Manchester United Odds and Betting Preview

VALENCIA, SPAIN - Valencia host Manchester United this evening in the UEFA Champions League at the Mestalla ground in Valencia. United are priced at 15/8 (bet £8 to make £15 profit) with Betfair to win tonight. A draw is priced at 12/5 with Ladbrokes and a win for Valencia is best priced at 15/8 with William Hill.

In the over/under market, over 2.5 goals is priced at 11/10 with paddy power and under 2.5 goals is best priced at 4/5 with Sky Bet.

Sir Alex Ferguson missed United`s Carling Cup match against Scunthorpe to scout Valencia personally and he will be hoping he can make good use of the information he took from the trip. United have a poor record away to Spanish teams but the Red Devils could do with a win tonight given that they could only manage a draw at home to Rangers last time out in the competition.

Dimitar Berbatov is best priced at 6/1 with Victor Chandler to open the scoring tonight. In the same market, Hernandez is priced at 7/1 with Paddy Power, Aduriz is priced at 15/2 with Victor Chandler and Soldado is also priced at 15/2 with Stan James.

Against Rangers, Ferguson optionally fielded a side that wasn`t full strength and paid the penalty, tonight however a number of changes have been forced upon him with injuries to Giggs, Rooney and Antonio Valencia ruling them all out of tonight`s fixture.

In the correct score market, a 1-1 draw is priced at 11/2 with Blue Square, a 1-0 win to Valencia is priced at 7/1 with Totesport and a 1-0 win to Man U is priced at 9/1 with Betfair. A goalless draw is priced at 9/1 with Sky Bet and a 2-1 victory to Valencia is priced at 10/1 with 888 Sport.

Both teams have high league aspirations and Valencia have a tricky run of games coming up, home to Athletic Bilbao and then away to Barcelona, so they may have one eye on the league which United will have to exploit if they are to achieve their high European goals.

After one match Valencia are top of group C after thumping Turkish champions Bursaspor 4-0 away from home, they are priced at 9/4 with Stan James to win group C and are best priced at 50/1 with Bet365 to win the whole tournament. Manchester United are still favourites to win the group, priced at 2/5 with Boylesports, despite being held to a 0-0 draw at home to Rangers a fortnight a go. United are priced at 9/1 with William Hill to win the whole competition.
