Manchester United are back in the Champions League and begin their campaign tonight at Old Trafford against Azerbaijani champions Sabah.

Michael Carrick’s side have made an inconsistent start to the Premier League season, but this is a game they are expected to win comfortably. That is reflected in Paddy Power’s standard match market, where United are priced at 1/14 to win, compared with 10/1 for the draw and 25/1 for a Sabah win, at the time of writing.

For new customers, Paddy Power has gone considerably bigger by offering 50/1 on Man United to beat Sabah, with a maximum qualifying stake of £1. That is a huge jump from United’s standard match price and is the main reason the offer stands out.

If United win, the qualifying bet is settled in cash at Paddy Power’s normal price, with the additional promotional value credited in eligible Free Bet Builders. Those Free Bet Builders are valid for 30 days.

Why Are Man United Such Strong Favourites?

This is Sabah’s first appearance at this stage of the Champions League after coming through qualifying, and Old Trafford represents a significant step up. United have not been completely convincing domestically, taking one win, one draw and one defeat from their opening three Premier League matches, but they have carried plenty of attacking threat.

Under Michael Carrick’s guidance, United’s attack has been prolific, scoring 33 goals following his appointment, more than any other Premier League side in that period. That attacking threat has continued into this season with their first home league game of the season producing a 5-2 win over Ipswich, with Carrick’s side registering 33 shots and eight corners. 

Sabah should arrive with confidence of their own after progressing through qualifying, but the difference in squad quality and home advantage explains why United are such short-priced favourites. It is also what makes Paddy Power’s jump to 50/1 so eye-catching.

Man Utd v Sabah Analysis

Andy Robson and the ABC football team have also picked out several betting angles for today’s match.

• One of the selections is Man United over 4.5 corners, with United having recorded 8 against Ipswich at Old Trafford and averaging 4.76 per Premier League game last season.

• Benjamin Sesko anytime goalscorer is another selection after the striker found the net against Everton. He scored 11 Premier League goals last season and could get another opportunity against a Sabah defence expected to spend long periods under pressure.

• The team has also backed Bruno Fernandes to assist. United’s captain remains their main creative influence and registered 21 Premier League assists last season.
