CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ..............



MANCHESTER UNITED - AC MILAN

My good recent run continued yesterday and hopefully we can build on that, in the run up to what promises to be an exciting weekend.

Milan need a minimum two goals to progress, that is a very tall order, but they will take heart from the opening period of the first leg, when they could, perhaps should, have scored 3-4 times, which would have left us looking at a very different scenario this evening.

The United defence has looked extremely fragile at times this season, they are "over" in ten from twelve starts, a sequence in which Wayne Rooney has scored an incredible 13 times and he did not play in the last of those ! In that game, even the goal shy Wolves strikers, the EPL's least potent attack, wasted a number of very good chances, Sam Vokes must still be having nightmares about the one he missed ! Rooney will return tonight and will want to show the rest of the footballing world just how good he is at present.

United have conceded in each of their CL fixtures at Old Trafford including three to CSKA and I doubt they will manage a clean sheet tonight. Not so sure that Milan will be completely gung-ho from the off, but sooner or later they will have to open up and this, like the first leg, should get very stretched, "overs" for me.

Manchester United -AC Milan "over" 2.5 goals 1.90 Sbobet.

Good Luck.
