Last round in group stages and not really the kind if games to bet on, but I'll take my chances today if line-ups will show up as I expect them to be.
I'll take on the Manchester United vs CFR game.
Manchester United is coming after a high scoring game vs Reading in Premier League (3:4) which is pretty worrying about their defense. At the moment what keeps them flying is the strong attacking line with Rooney and RvP firing on all cylinders so they can outscore other teams whenever they concede.
SAF will surely rest lots of first team players for this game, same as they did when traveled to Turkey for the game against Galatasaray. They have a tough derby on weekend against Manchester City and he will most probably not risk any more injuries considering the players he already have unavailable. He mentioned in a press conference that Vidic has high chances not to catch the game tonight, which means they will struggle in defense once again. With Anderson getting injured vs. Reading, he might be more cautious with his first team regulars for this meaningless game.
Things are different for CFR tho'. They are on equal points with Galatasaray and if they manage to get a positive result tonight while the Turkish side will fail in Portugal, then CFR can qualify in next stage on CHL instead of taking the road to Europa League. There is lots of money involved for CFR Cluj if they manage to qualify and they took a strong squad to England already.
The result in Romanian League against Gaz Metan (1:1) at weekend might be worrying, but that result came becuz CFR took a second string squad for that game, resting all their regulars with the game against Manchester on their mind. It's seven days since they haven't used first team and I rate players back in form for this encounter. I like the way Aguirregaray performed against Gaz Metan, player looking hungry to play. If he gonna play at the back of Sougou I see them causing some trouble to Manchester United on counters, both players being fast runners. Sougou if he catches a good day, is a clinical finisher and can put the ball in the net whenever he has the chance. Rui Pedro showed some good soccer also lately, as he did against Braga when he scored three times out to bring qualification for his team.
I like the chances CFR has here, and I think there is a bit of value on CFR to score @ 1.65 with my local bookie for some sort of accumulator. If line-ups before game prove to be good in our favor I think this is a bet to take.
Good luck all!...see more
