Bookies are expecting a betting bonanza as Man Utd, at 15/8 with Coral, meet Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Coral are predicting that it will be the biggest match, from a betting perspective, of the season, with forecasts suggesting that more than £25 million could be staked on the Old Trafford showdown overall.
Coral rate United at 15/8 to prevail on the night and price them at evens to qualify while Jose Mourinho’s charges are 13/10 to win the match and odds-on favourites at 8/11 to progress to the next stage.
The tie sees Sir Alex Ferguson’s troops come face-to-face with Cristiano Ronaldo for the first time since he left the club and the Real attacker is 4/1 via Coral to break the deadlock.
The former Old Trafford hero is also 16/1 at Coral to score then kiss the Real Madrid badge and 25/1 to be shown a red card while in a goal scorer match bet, he’s 21/10 to outscore Robin Van Persie
Speaking to Betrescue.com, Coral’s David Stevens said, “the tie is perfectly poised at 1-1 after the first leg, and sees two in-form teams go head to head, while it also has the added spice of Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Old Trafford, as well as Jose Mourinho bidding to end Sir Alex Ferguson’s Champions League hopes once again, and all these factors, combined with terrestrial TV coverage, will ensure this is the biggest betting match of the season so far, with turnover topping £25 million across the industry.”
