With OVER you are covered if Barca wins and Man Utd score plus the other way around, PLUS a convincing win by any of the teams.
Good luck with your choice, I will wait for further opinions.
First I thought Over 2,5 goals is good choice here, I could imagine the first leg would have gone Over too had Ronaldo scored that penalty. No matter what Managers say though imo both teams will start very carefully. I guess somehow in the first minutes United will be under heavier pressure...
ATM I am leaning toward CS 2-1 and Man Utd winning from behind.... |
Yes...thanks! Your observation is very true. Barca will advance with a draw that includes goals. So, I probably will place a bet on them qualifying as a cover. However, I just couldn't keep away from 4.50 on Barca! In my mind, these two teams are evenly matched at this level and such odds are out of this world. The over 2.5 I am not sure about... I actually think both teams will play tight and try to take it by 1-0. Anyway, good luck on your bets...
