City And United 12/1 To Meet In Europa Final!

Manchester City and United both picked up vital away victories and William Hill make them 12/1 (in from 20/1) to meet in the Europa League Final. Manchester City are now 1/20 to progress to the next stage of the competition (Porto 8/1) while Manchester United are 1/50 (Ajax 12/1).

Stoke had a pretty tough time of it against Valencia at the Britannia and they are 8/1 to qualify (1/20 Valencia).

“Manchesters United and City are the favourites for the whole competition and should they avoid each other in the latter rounds and continue to play the way that they both did tonight, there is no reason why they cannot meet in the final of this competition,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Manchester City are 3/1 favourites to win the Europa League with Manchester United 4/1; Valencia 8/1; Atletico Madrid 10/1; Schalke 12/1 and PSV 16/1. Stoke are 100/1 to lift the trophy.

Arsenal Fan Cheering Despite Defeat As He Bags £31,638.47

Arsenal may have been defeated by Manchester United on Sunday, but there was one Gooner who was celebrating well into the early hours. An Irish William Hill punter (and avid Arsenal fan) from Stockport bagged a whopping £31,638.47 from a £10 stake. The punter, who usually bets £10 a week on the football, put all of his eggs in one basket and predicted 14 games in which both teams would score including Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat to United.

The 28 year old punter has only lived in the UK for 7 months and chose to do the ‘Will Both Teams Score?’ coupon for the very first time on Sunday. “This is the first time that I have played this coupon and I will certainly be having a little punt on it next weekend.”

The ‘Will Both Teams Score?’ coupon is one of William Hill’s fastest growing coupons despite only having been around for just over two years. “The coupon is incredibly popular because the bet lasts for 90 minutes of each match,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. The bet paid out at odds of 3163/1 and is the largest payout that Hills have made on that coupon this season.

“About a year ago, we had a horrific weekend where every Premier League team scored and this is our biggest pay out on this coupon since then,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Winning Bet – Both Teams To Score:

8/13 Utrecht vs PSV
4/6 Man City vs Tottenham
10/11 Osasuna vs Valencia
4/7 AZ Alkmaar vs Ajax
4/6 VVV Venlo vs Feyenoord
1/1 Valenciennes vs Bastia
8/13 Arsenal vs Manchester United
5/6 Siena vs Napoli
5/6 Lecce vs Chievo
8/11 Hamburg vs Dortmund
1/1 Inter Milan vs Lazio
8/11 Leverkusen vs Mainz
8/11 Real Madrid vs Ath Bilbao
11/10 Marseille vs Le Havre
