REAL MADRID V MANCHESTER UNITED PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS AND FACTS

Real Madrid are 3^rd in la liga with 46 points from 23 matches.  They have won 14, drawn 4 and lost 5 while scoring 58 and conceding 22.  This leaves them 4 points behind second place Atletico and a huge 16 points behind Barcelona.  In the Champions League they finished 2^nd in their group behind Borussia Dortmund with 11 points from 6 matches. 

Manchester United are top of the Premiership with 65 points from 26 matches.  They have won 21 games, drawn 2 and lost 3 while scoring 62 goals and conceding 31.  They enjoy a 12 point lead over Manchester City in 2^nd and look like winning back the title they lost on the final day of last season.  In the Champions League this year they topped their group with 12 points from 6 games and comfortably qualified ahead of Galatasaray. 

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

This is the undisputed top tie of the round and has all of World football watching on in anticipation.  Two of the World’s biggest and most decorated clubs go head to head in the final 16 of the biggest club competition on the planet.

Real Madrid have had a very poor domestic season so far and find themselves well out of the title race in Spain.  This will allow them to focus all their efforts on this tie however and they’ll have no qualms about resting players in the league if needed.  Madrid have some fabulous player, including arguably one of the top players in the World in Ronaldo.  He was a hero in Manchester before his stunning €94m move to Real Madrid in 2009 and his return will be one of the major stories from the game.

Manchester United have really improved on last season’s team, thanks in part to the signing of one of the best number 9’s in the game in Robin van Persie.  His 19 league goals in 26 matches has him leading scoring in the Premiership and he has been the difference between United and rivals City this year.

REAL MADRID V MANCHESTER UNITED PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Real Madrid have been inconsistent this season but at home they have been as dominant as ever and are undefeated through the whole season.  They have beat teams like Ajax, Manchester City and Atletico Madrid and will feel they are favourites over any side at the Bernabeu.  I think on paper Madrid have a stronger side than United and with home advantage they should be big favourites here.  United are always capable of pulling off a shock result though, any team with Rooney and van Persie is going to be dangerous.

I think the best value on offer is for a Madrid home win.  Paddy Power are offering a very generous 1.67 on a Madrid win which I expect to fall before kick-off.  Click here to back it before the price goes!

REAL MADRID V MANCHESTER UNITED PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

If you think United are being undervalued here then the Asian Handicap market gives us a real nice option to back them.

You can find Manchester United +1, which means any draw or United win will win the bet and even a 1 goal United defeat will have our bet refunded.  There are not many games where United would be such an underdog and I expect many people to be snapping up this bet.

Visit bet365 to back Manchester United +1 at 1.95.

REAL MADRID V MANCHESTER UNITED PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

These teams are two of the best attacking forces on the planet and plenty of goals are expected every time either side takes the field.  Madrid have averaged 2.52 goals per match this year in the league while Manchester United have averaged  2.38 themselves so it is no surprise we see the over as a big favourite here.

I still think there is value available with Betsson who are offering Over 2.5 Goals at 1.62.  You can take this as a risk free bet of up to €100, available only through howtobet.net.  Just click here for details of this totally risk free bet!
