    Manchester United vs Bayern Munich - Game Thread

    Can united qualify to the next round without Rooney?
    Robben and Schweinsteiger are back to German side.

    Team news
    Man United
    Out:
    Anderson (knee), Wes Brown (metatarsal), Michael Owen (hamstring)
    Doubtful: Wayne Rooney (right ankle), John O'Shea (thigh), Jonny Evans (knee)
    Suspended: none
    Misses next match if booked: Nemanja Vidić, Paul Scholes, Wayne Rooney
    • O'Shea is training again five months after injuring his thigh in the Republic of Ireland's FIFA World Cup play-off against France.
    Bayern
    Out:
    none
    Doubtful: Arjen Robben (calf), Daniel Van Buyten (knee)
    Suspended: none
    Misses next match if booked: Holger Badstuber, Mark van Bommel, Danijel Pranjić
    • A decision on Robben is yet to be made but the winger said: "I didn't come here to sit on the bench. I'm ready; I feel good, but it's the coach's decision."
    • Van Buyten rates his chances of playing as "75%" after injuring his knee in Saturday's crucial victory at FC Schalke 04

    Manchester United for me. I know it's not a baker or lock but good value, even without Rooney!

    Think the best bet for this one is Under 2.5.

    Man Utd lacking creativity in the middle of the park and Bayern is also very strong in the middle of midfield so Man Utd will have to play down the flanks to create chances. The problem for United is that playing down the flanks suits the Bayern central defenders who are slower and better at heading the ball.

    Bayern already has the lead in this one and they won't be gung-ho but instead happy to keep control of possession when they have the ball in comfortable situations or launch quick counter attacks, if they've just been under big pressure defensively and need to get the ball forward quickly.

    Similarly, Man Utd can't be too attacking either because they know a Bayern away goal will mean they'll need to score twice, something they may not be too confident in doing against a good Bayern team, with Rooney not 100% fit or starting.

    Under 2.5 looks a great bet, especially at +EV odds.

    I am just hoping for a good match. I might put a small bet on united closer to game time.

    If Bayern score 1 goal, which I think it's likely, then United have to find 2 to tie, 3 to win. If Bayern score 2 United have to score 4 to qualify because of the extra away goal Bayern would have.

    What about last season when they had Ronaldo. After selling him everyone asked how they can cope without him and then Rooney showed his brilliance. Thats the team and everybody must step up. Sooner they realize that sooner we see them past Germans

    Rooney to start.....did not see that coming. Like the changes SAF has made...they were inevitable....still would have preferred going 4-4-2.
