Manchester United v Bayern Munich Betting Tips and Predictions

March 31, 2014 Thatsbettingtips Staff

After wrapping up the Bundesliga in record time Pep Guardiola's Bavarian juggernaut rolls into Old Trafford this Tuesday and we have free football betting tips.

After the disappointing but unsurprising defeat to Manchester City the Red Devil's bounced back with a 4-1 home victory over Aston Villa at the weekend.

Perhaps even more so than the Olympiakos victory the three points over Aston Villa will do little to silence the doubters of David Moyes' Manchester United project. Not only are Bayern Munich an exponentially better side than Aston Villa but Manchester United's win was aided significantly by the poverty of the Midlands side's performance.

After starting strongly and taking the lead Villa seemed to get stage fright and allowed the home side back into the game. The poor defending and woeful finishing that so aided Manchester United is unlikely to be present on Tuesday however.

Still Manchester United did manage to win at the weekend which is more than can be said for Bayern Munich.

With the title wrapped up Bayern travelled to mid-table Hoffenheim and let a two goal lead slip to draw 3-3. It should be noted though that Guardiola rotated his squad with stars like Ribery and Robben failing to play the full 90.

Despite this though that result does give Manchester United some hope of pulling off an upset. The odds are not in their favour though. A Manchester United victory is available at 13/2 with bet365. A draw comes in at 7/2 and a Bayern Munich victory comes in at ½ with the same provider.

Let's be honest there is a good reason for those odds. As tempting as it would be to back Manchester United just on the odds alone I cannot see them winning.

If you're still tempted though I would advise you to look at the line-ups of both sides. How many Manchester United players would you pick over Bayern Munich players. I reckon there is a reasonable case for both Rooney and De Gea making the bench, but no other available Manchester United players would make the team.

On the other hand odds of ½ make it difficult to back Bayern Munich. Therefore we need to look for a different way into the match.

Patrice Evra is suspended for this game. As a result Buttner is going to have to start for at left back. I reckon that Robben is going to expose Buttner's lack of postional awareness and overall poor defensive play. Robben to score is available at 7/4 with Coral. If you are feeling especially adventurous Robben to score two or more is 9/1 with Coral.

Whilst betting on a Bayern victory alone offers little value. The odds of Bayern to win and both teams to score come in at a much more inviting 15/8 with bet365. Given Rooney's form and the fragility of Dante in the Bayern defence this bet offers good value.

If you do fancy Manchester United to score the likely suspect to find the net is of course Wayne Rooney. Rooney to score anytime is available at the tempting price of 5/2 with Winner.
