Why Manchester United can’t lose focus in the closing stages
Man Utd/Inter, 7.45pm, Sky Sports 2, Free Bets, Best Odds
Rather than concentrating on their gameplan to eliminate Manchester United, Inter Milan have been busy calculating what percentage chance they stand. Jose Mourinho says 50% while Mario Balotelli goes with 45% but both are wrong as the actual figure is 33%. Here we present the case for both teams, leaving you to assess whether the 8/15 on the holders breaking the curse is better value than the 7/4 Ladbrokes are offering on Inter progressing, while providing you with useful tips on other markets:
In the red corner…
» Manchester United have won eight and lost just one of their last ten home games against Italian opposition, triumphing in their last four.
» The Red Devils are unbeaten at home in over a year in all competitions and have gone more than four years without a Champions League loss at Old Trafford, a run stretching nineteen games.
