2009 Carling Cup Final Betting Tips

February 28, 2009 | Written by : Nick Webb

Carling Cup holders Tottenham face a difficult test today in the 2009 Carling Cup Final against the European and Premier League Champions Manchester United.

Somewhat unsurprisingly, Man United are favourites to win this match at a best price 4/5 at Paddy Power (US gamblers can get -138 at BetPhoenix ).

This is actually a fairly generous price and well worth taking if you think United will triumph in the 2009 Carling Cup Final, but it does reflect a little nervousness on the part of punters. Usually, United would be runaway favourites in any match between themselves and Tottenham.

TOTTENHAM CARLING CUP BETTING TIPS

Spurs’ dodgy form this season disguises the fact that they haven’t lost to Top Four opposition at all this season and are well capable of raising their game when it suits.

They are also traditionally a very strong cup side, so a shock could be on the cards.

I expect Tottenham to come out all guns blazing and try to get an early goal. If Modric and Pavlyuchenko combine well early on, this is quite possible.

I like Tottenham to be the first team to score at 2/1 with Stan James.

MANCHESTER UNITED CARLING CUP BETTING TIPS

It looks certain that youngster Danny Welbeck will be starting this match. However, the identity of his fellow striker isn’t yet known. I fully expect Carlos Tevez to start and - if so - he represents great value in two betting markets.

Tevez is well priced at 9/5 with Paddy Power to score anytime and the same bookmaker is offering 7/2 on Tevez to be first goalscorer for Manchester United. Both are well worth a bet.
