Manchester United
might find it hard to rest on their laurels for their upcoming match against
Stoke.
After its
heartbreaking loss against Real Madrid, which made the Red Devils exit the
Champions League, history repeated itself and resulted to an unexpected
tragedy. But this time around, it was against, the next best team in the Premier
League, Manchester City.
Such unfortunate events must serve as a reminder that in impossible is nothing
in football and that in yet, another unforeseen scenario, the tides might turn away
again, from the Red Devils.
Odds as of 10 April 2013 |
Statistically
speaking, Man Utd’s record is impressive. Sir Alex Ferguson’s squad won twenty-five
(25) of their thirty-one (31) games. On the other hand, Stoke’s records show a lackluster
performance, winning only seven (7) out of their thirty-two (32) appearances.
Apparently, it is
already an easy win for The Red Devils. Yet, if overconfidence forces Lady Luck
to favor The Potters, then that is already a different story.
The verdict: Manchester United is 12BET’s top pick with a 2.070 odds against Stoke. But to win against Stoke’s Asian handicap of 1, the Red Devils must score 2 goals.
