Bet on more goals as Man Utd play Chicago Fire
Man Utd look good bets to continue their fine pre-season form with a win over Chicago Fire.
Manchester United will be looking to continue their rich vein of form in the third match of their pre-season tour to the US.
The Red Devils have been red-hot in front of goal in America, scoring 11 goals in their two games so far and conceding just once.
Chicago Fire are next up for the reigning Premier League champions, and bwin’s football betting market suggests it is likely to be one-way traffic once again.
Man Utd are 13/50 favourites to win the match, with an unlikely win for the Fire priced at 7/1 and a draw at 17/4.

With odds on Man Utd to win so short, punters may decide to look to other markets to secure more attractive returns.
One way they could do this is by betting on there being five or more goals in the match, as there have been in each of United’s last two fixtures against American opposition.
Odds of 2/1 are available on there being at least five goals in the Chicago Fire v Man Utd game, meaning a successful £25 free bet on this eventuality, available to new customers who sign up for a bwin account, would return £75.
Another option would be to look to the first half goal bet market.
Man Utd have started slowly in their last two games, before running riot in the second half.
Against New England Revolution on 13th July, United were drawing 0-0 at half-time before scoring four in 11 second-half minutes.
Then, against Seattle Sounders on 20th July, Sir Alex Ferguson’s men scored just once in the first half before smashing home six more after the interval.
With this in mind, a bet on United to lead 1-0 at half-time at odds of 27/10 could help punters almost quadruple their money.
