AC Milan v Manchester United Odds to Close to Call

These two giants of European football have won the European Cup/Champions League between them on ten occasions, with Milan winning seven and United three. Milan also has the advantage over United on matches played between the two clubs in the competition, winning all four ties that have taken place over two legs, the most recent of which was in 2007, when Milan won their home leg by 3-0 after losing at Old Trafford 2-3. Milan went on to lift the trophy they year by defeating Liverpool 2-1 in the final.

AC Milan v Man Utd Odds

Facts like these are some of the reason why Milan are 8/5 favourites to win this first leg at the San Siro Stadium, with Paddy Power who have United extremely close behind at 9/5 with the draw being a 2/1 option.

Other more recent facts however suggest that it will be United who will come out on top, particularly if based on their Champions League away form where they have not lost an away tie since going down to Milan in that match of 2007. Conversely, Milan failed to win a single Group phase game at home this season, relying on their own away from to get them through to this stage. Clearly therefore a classic and close encounter can be expected from two sides who will both be desperate to take a lead back to Old Trafford for the second leg in a fortnight's time.

Add to the mix the distinct possibility of United ‘Old boy’, David Beckham likely to play a role in the match, then the game becomes the feature match of this Round of 16. There will certainly be punters betting on the ironic in this match which means that Paddy Power can expect to take some serious money on Beckham scoring on the night for which he has odds of around 7/2. It is Milan’s Alexandre Pato and United’s Wayne Rooney however who lead the market to be opening scorer on the night both with odds of 11/2.

We have already said that this match should be a classic encounter, but we also think that there will be very little given away by either side. We would therefore favour a draw as the main outcome and would not be surprised to see the match end 0-0. Certainly we do not see there being more than one goal in it and list the likely Correct Score options with odds below.
