Betting odds from club partner Coral ahead of United's game against Sheffield Wednesday

Nailed-on…

The Home Win jumps out as the game’s outstanding bet. Wednesday have won just one of their last five on the road and taken just five points from a possible 24 against teams in the top ten.

You’ll only get 7/10, but it looks solid. And there are better ways to cash-in on the win…

Smart Money…

Six of United’s seven home wins in the league have gone Over 2.5 Goals, so taking the Newcastle Win & Over 2.5 Goals makes good sense at 2/1.

Ten of their 16 wins have been To Nil, but be warned that seven of these have been on the road. So at just 31/20 this might be a bet to swerve. A better call is the Newcastle/ Newcastle option in the Half-time/ Full-time market. You’ll get 7/4.

You might even be interested in going one goal better and backing the Newcastle Win & Over 3.5 Goals. This has paid out in four home wins (57 per cent) and returns 24/5.

Long Shots…

There are no real trends in the Correct Score market. In fact, all seven home wins have ended in a different score – 2-0, 2-1, 3-0, 3-1, 4-0, 4-1 and 4-3.

But Dwight Gayle’s 13 goals in 12 games make him a reliable investment as First and Anytime Goalscorer, paying 5/2 and 10/11 respectively.

The in-form Mohamed Diame should be on your radar too. He has five in nine and is on offer at 7/1 and 5/2.
