PREVIEW
According to Jose Mourinho, ‘the world will stop to watch’ tonight’s last 16 second leg clash between Manchester United and Real Madrid at Old Trafford. With the tie delicately poised at 1-1 after the first leg two weeks ago, the first goal will be massive.
Danny Welbeck’s away goal may prove crucial but it’s hard to envisage Madrid not getting on the scoresheet – they have only once failed to net in their last 32 Champions League games, back against Barcelona in April 2011. The Whites couldn’t have warmed up for this huge tie in better fashion than back-to-back wins over bitter rivals Barca. The latest victory on Sunday was achieved with a greatly weakened side meaning the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil and Karim Benzema will be fresh – a frightening thought.
But United haven’t lost a game since December 5th and the Red Devils have only suffered defeat once in their last 14 Champions League home games with nine wins and four draws. The only defeat in that time came against CFR Cluj in a meaningless group stage game this season.
And Real Madrid have only won once in their last five away games in England in the Champions League, against Tottenham at White Hart Lane in April 2011. They’ve also failed to keep a clean sheet in the competition this season.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s has instilled a confidence and composure in this side and it’s a surprise to see them underdogs at 3.5 on BETDAQ. However, the best bet might be to take Fergie’s charges to score first at around 2.05. They scored first in Spain and have only conceded two goals in their last six matches.
RECOMMENDATION: (1-10 points)
Back Man United to score first at around 2.05 on BETDAQ: 4 points
Monday: +5.20 points
MARCH RETURN TO DATE: +2.52 points
