The Betfair Football £10 Bet of the Day
Day Two: We're backing Rosenborg to beat FC Copenhagen at [2.32]
After delivering a profit of £88.22 from 50 pre-season punts, we were determined to get our regular season Bet of the Day off to a successful start, and Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs made sure we did by combining for Manchester United's fantastic third against Newcastle, to pass the over 2.5 goal mark.
We're making a bold call in our attempt to build on that win and backing momentum to help Rosenborg past arguably superior opposition in FC Copenhagen in tonight's Champions League qualifying Scandinavian derby in Trondheim at [2.32].
The Norwegian hosts, who boast familiar names such as Ghana World Cup star Anthony Annan, former Tottenham striker Steffen Iversen and one-time Sunderland striker Rade Prica, have won seven successive matches, three of which were Champions League qualifiers.
In addition, Rosenborg are unbeaten in 32 matches and held FC Copenhagen in the Danish capital the last time the two teams met in the 2008-09 UEFA Cup/Europa League group stage.
The visitors have lost four of their last five away European games, with hardly unconquerable teams such as APOEL and CFR Cluj among those to have got the better of them last season.
Our bet: We're backing Rosenborg to beat Copenhagen at [2.32], which - before commission is taken into account - will give us a profit of £13.20. The same bet pays out £11 with Ladbrokes and Paddy Power. Get a free bet and back this now!
