Bets on Manchester United have been streaming in this week as punters at extrabet are backing Sir Alex Fergusons side to progress against Bayern Munich in the Quarter Finals of this years Champions League. Looking at the bare facts it easy to see why Man United are so favourable to back in this years Champions League spread and betting markets.

extrabet go 5/4 that United win in Munich on Tuesday night and considering they have won every away game in this years competition its easy to see why they are so short in the betting. Elsewhere they are 0.1-0.3 Goal Supremacy favourites for the game. This of course is an away leg for United and with the 2nd leg at home a 3rd Final in a row looks like a distinct possibility.

Bayern Munich have not passed the quarter final stages since 2001 and considering they will be without their best player in Arjen Robben and influential midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger, victory over United would be unexpected. They currently trade 2/1 to win the game and the likes of Miroslav Klose (6/1 to score first) will need to put in stellar performance if Bayern are to take a lead to Old Trafford.

Online betting bookmaker extrabet have had a clear message from their clients Manchester United are once again becoming the proverbial end-of-season banker for our punters. It doesnt matter what price you put up, clients will snap it up with both hands says their spokesman Chris Shillington
