Villarreal vs Manchester United
Uefa Champions League, 20h45
These two are top of their group on eight points with Aalborg and Celtic on two points. This means a draw will all but qualify them through to the knock-out stage. There is another factor in my view: These two teams have met three times before, with all match-ups ending goalless (all in the group stages of this elite competition). The coaches were the same in 2005 as they are today.
Villarreal reached the Semi Final stage that season, where they were knocked out by Arsenal on penalties, while United won the Champions League last season, still on penalties.
One cannot be sure as these two teams can repeat the 0-0 scoreline, but be aware that whatever happens, the draw will still be a likely result for these game, as it fancies both teams.
Strikers Llorente and Nihat are out for Villarreal, while Berbatov and Neville are injured for United and Cristiano Ronaldo may well be rested after being taken out of the field on Saturday with some knocks bothering him. Keeper Edwin van der Sar is rested so Kuszczak will deputise.
I fancy a draw, which is priced as high as 35/20.
