Manchester United hosts AC Milan in the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie on Wednesday evening.
A draw will be sufficient to put Man United into the Champions League quarterfinals after the Red Devils beat Milan 3-2 at the San Siro last month.
Manchester United vs AC Milan Trends Analysis
Wednesday night’s match will mark the fourth meeting between AC Milan and Man United in four seasons. At present the win tally stands 2-1 to United, with every game having produced 3 or more goals. The last meeting between the two clubs was a close contest, and eventually went 3-2 to United.
Manchester United is in the midst of launching its trademark late-season assault on several fronts. The club has won eight, lost one and drawn one of its last ten matches. United has, however, shown signs of vulnerability at home this season, dropping three matches at Old Trafford.
United’s attack is averaging close on 3 goal a game at home this season with superb defence keeping goals conceded down around the 0.5 goal mark.
AC Milan, meanwhile, has three wins a draw and a loss form its last five matches. The club has run into trouble during the second half of the Serie A season, but has continued to perform well away from home, losing just once in its last thirteen away fixtures.
Milan’s attack has been knocking them in at a rate of around 1.3 goals per game away from home this season with solid away defence the key to the club’s success on the road, with the Milan defence conceding under a goal a game away from the San Siro this season.
Man United vs. AC Milan Betting Tip
Betfair is offering the best price on match favourites, United, at 4/5. The draw is 13/5 at totesport while Milan is a bargain at 9/2 at Ladbrokes.
United don’t have this tie in the bag, and Milan will throw the kitchen sink at its hosts as it attempt to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League. However, we feel United’s strong defence is more than equal to the task of preventing a Milan win in Manchester on Wednesday.
We’re looking at two bets for this match. The first is a lay bet on Milan, which will cover the draw as well as a United win. The second is a bet on over 2.75 goals scored in the match at odds of 7/6 Bet365.
