UEFA Champions League Quarterfinals Odds- Manchester United at Bayern Munich
Manchester United has the difficult task of trying to eliminate the European champions, Bayern Munich, at their own stadium, when they clash this Wednesday at 14:45 PM ET at the Allianz Arena, in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.
With the 1-1 in the first leg, Man United needs to win or draw by more than two goals in order to advance.
“You can go into some Champions League games from recent times when teams sat back and waited and waited and waited and then got something from the game and got through. I don’t think there is any shame in what we did [in the first leg], not by a long way. Tactically, I thought we played very well on the night. But I have got to say, in the second game, we might need to think differently, look at it in a different way to the first game,” United coach David Moyes said.
Bayern Munich already lost at home this season against a team from Manchester, but it was not vs. United, it was against City. Coach Pep Guardiola knows the Red Devils will look to counterattack in order to win the game.
“They’ll be looking to hit us on the break and at set plays. We’re in a final on Wednesday. It’s a matter of life and death,” said Guardiola.
Since the 1999 Champions League final, Man Utd has won just one of their seven Champions League meetings with Bayern Munich (W1 D3 L3).
The Champions League odds have United listed +700 to win the game; Munich is -350 and the draw is +500.
