Man United take on  Real Madrid at Old Trafford tonight in the second leg of their Champions League tie (5.45pm KO, Live On ITV1) and look overpriced at 11/5 with Coral to beat the Spaniards and book their place in the next round.

The Red Devils did well to draw 1-1 at the Bernabeu, where they created plenty of chances and Robin van Persie missed two good opportunities late on.

That result meant that they have only lost once in their last 14 Champions League home games (nine wins, four draws), and their opponents have only won once in their last five away games in England in this competition (two draws, two defeats).

Throw in the fact that United have beeen in imperious form and banging in the goals in the Premier League, and you can see why they are simply too big not to back at 11/5.

I am expecting Robin van Persie to have a big say in proceedings, and the Ducthman will be keen to make amends for his misses in the first leg.

He looks good value at 5/1 with BetVictor and Stan James to net the opner, and well worth a wager at 5/4 with BetVictor to net anytime.

The other bets that really appeal in this come in the goal markets.

Real  have only failed to score once in their last 32 Champions League games but have failed to keep a clean sheet in the Champions League this season (10 goals conceded).

That makes both teams to score look a banker bet at the 1/2 generally on offer.

Indeed, Sir Alex himself has predicted such and stated that they will simply have to score more to win.

That statement suggests this game will be a real end to end attacking affair, and over 3.5 goals has to be worth a punt at 8/5 with BetVictor.
