Bayer Leverkusen play host to Man United in the Champions League tonight (7.45pm KO, Live on Sky Sports 2), and in a tough game to call goals looks the best way to play from a punting perspective.
With United hosting current third placed Shakhtar and Leverkusen travelling to the struggling Sociedad in the final round of fixtures in Group A, a point would be far from disastrous for either side.
However both managers will surely want to go for it to try an secure qualification in the next round and a free flowing attacking game looks on the cards.
Although tempted to back United at 12/5 to come out on top, their fragile defence tempers enthusiam given the home side’s attacking prowess.
In five of their six away games in the Premier League there have been more than two goals scored, with the opposition finding the net in all six.
Throw in the fact that Leverkusen currently lie second in the Bundesliga thanks to an unbeaten home record and five of their last seven games omn home soil have seen three or more goals scored and you can see why this game has goals written all over it.
Therefore over 2.5 goals at 10/11 with Sky Bet looks the standout wager, and I am also going to suggest playing over 3.5 at the 5/2 on offer with BetVictor and Hills.
Robin van Persie is almost certain to be in United’s starting line-up having missed his sides weekend game at Cardiff with a slight injury picked up on International duty, and looks a decent punt at a standout 15/8 with bet365 to net anytime.
