Van Persie 4/1 odds to score first against Olympiacos

Competition: Champions League
Market: Van Persie to score first against Olympiacos
Odds: 4/1 @ Coral

Manchester United striker Robin Van Persie has barely featured in this season’s Champions League, but he’s set to start in tonight’s game against Olympiacos, and Coral are backing the Dutchman at 4/1 to score first.

Van Persie, 30, has scored four goals in his last five league games since his return from a hamstring injury, but he’s netted just one in Europe this season – amassing a meagre 236 minutes in the group stages.

Now he’s back to fitness and scoring form, he’s very likely to grab the first goal for Manchester United in what should be a comfortable away victory for the Premier League holders.

With 11 goals in 16 league games, Van Persie has been boasting an impressive goal to games record, despite missing a collective two months of David Moyes’ first campaign as Manchester United manager.

Injuries have blighted his season, such has been the case throughout his career, but there’s no doubt when the former Arsenal striker is playing, United are a much better outfit. They’re 5/4 to win away against Olympiacos tonight, which will see them taking a giant step into reaching the quarter-finals.

Can Manchester United & Van Persie deliver in the first leg in Greece?
