Atletico Madrid + Manchester United Atletico Madrid gets Besiktas who are scuffling right now with three straight losses in all competitions. The Spanish side have been strong in Europa League play at home, having won all six matches in this term of EL play. Besiktas also have a poor track record in Spain, losing six of seven all-time. Atletico does have some injury concerns, but getting Falcao back from suspension will do this team some good. Besiktas continues to miss one of their best scoring options in Hugo Almeida. May not be a sexy win, but I think Atletico grinds out a 1st leg lead. United gets Athletic Club. Both teams come in with good form domestically. United did drop a 2-1 decision to Ajax at Old Trafford in EL play, but they had put themselves into position to not need anything more with a 2-0 lead from the 1st leg. The Spanish side have dropped their last two road tilts in EL play @ PSG and Lokomotiv Moskva. Given their sparkling home form, you'd expect them try and keep this 1st leg as competitive as possible and of course look for that away goal to give themselves a legit shot in the 2nd leg. AC will be missing some key defenders, so if United lines up a strong side - they should be able to probe and find some goals. Expecting United to work a professional style victory and 1st leg lead.
Draw Project Standard Liege-Hannover +235
AZ Alkmaar-Udinese +245
EP; I'm a Besiktas fan and I'll tell you that: the club has a huge financial problems and foreigner stars probably leave the club end of the season. And because of that; they are plays much better on the international competitions. I'm expecting a Madrid win tonight but, i feel the same about Braga game to and we were win that game. You'd better stay away this match.
I wouldn't be surprised if Twente and Schalke worked a draw today. Everyone seems to be in love with Twente on the ML. Hopefully it works out for you guys.
they are definitely going down. i parlayed them with valencia over 2.5 which alread hit, hopefully they'll pick up their shit and win this fuking match
wow man utd really sucks, losing 1-2 at home vs bilbao
this says pretty much that the spanish is league is much much better than the EPL at the moment.

AC is no pushover, but I guess you can tell United really doesn't give two shits about the Europa League at the end of the day with this performance. They probably will come back and snag a draw, but that does me no good. I hedged a little with a small play on AC moneyline, but still lose out on some with this result pending.
