Real Madrid v Manchester United Betting Tips
Friendly matches, no matter how high profile can be tricky beasts to tame from a betting perspective. There is no accounting for a lack of interest from the players on the day. This will be one of two summer meetings between the two clubs and three years ago these two met in the US and set a record crowd for the meeting. That was at the University of Michigan Stadium but this one is up at the Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco. Following this INternational Champions Cup match, the two will see each other in early August for the UEFA Super Cup clash. Real Madrid have let Alvaro Morata go to Chelsea after the Spaniard had interest from the Red Devils but haven’t made incoming moves in the transfer market yet. This will be the first action in the summer for the Spanish giants and may not be as match sharp as their opponents, who have been much busier. Cristiano Ronaldo, because of his international duty at the Confederations Cup isn’t with the squad.
Manchester United have been busier with wins over the LA Galaxy and Real Salt Lake and then that opening fixture against Man City in the International Champions Cup. So they have been putting in some serious work over the summer as former Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho tries to get them into shape. Summer signing Christian Benteke is with them and he is a decent option to watch in the bet365 live in-play betting markets. Real Madrid are stacked with so much quality that even with the extra match fitness on United’s side, it’s hard to discount the threat of Madrid in this game. Both teams to score at bet365 is a price of 4/7 as the bookmakers expect goals to be flying around. Up in the bet365 correct score market, a Real Madrid 2-1 victory over the 90 minutes is a decent priced option at 15/2.
