Bet up to £30 risk free on Man Utd winning

Manchester United's Champions League campaign so far has been a masterclass in efficiency and resilience, with the Red Devils yet to concede a goal in their first five games and having clocked up 13 points despite scoring only six goals, half of those in one match away to bottom club Bursaspor.

The most important victory of their four to date was undoubtedly their 1-0, Javier Hernandez-sealed success at the back in September and it's because of that result that they are on course to finish top of Group C and avoid an early meeting with Barcelona or Real Madrid, provided they don't lose tonight.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side have been practically faultless at Old Trafford so far this season, with Rangers and West Brom the only of their 11 visitors to date to have returned home with a point.

Since the Baggies' surprise draw there, the Premier League favourites have won six in a row in front of their fans, conceding just twice, which is why they are hugely fancied at [1.6] to beat Valencia again.

Thanks to our special offer for those opening new Betfair accounts, you can bet up to £30 on this match or anything else that catches your eye within seven days of signing up and any losing wagers will be refunded, so there's no absolutely no risk involved.

Two further trends that suggest Valencia won't be causing an upset at [7.0] are that the Spaniards haven't triumphed in any of their last five La Liga or Champions League away games, while they've netted just once in their last five encounters against Manchester United, and even that was a Wes Brown own goal.
