Man Utd v Villarreal Odds

The Man Utd v Villarreal odds for this Man Utd Villarreal betting Champions League match, has United as narrow favourites to claim all three points, despite being the away side and being only level with Villarreal in their qualification group. The Portuguese team, held United at Old Trafford in the opening Group match in September and many believe that they were unlucky not to win.

The two teams head their group and both look likely to qualify for the knock out phases, but a win for either could put the other under some pressure, with still one more match to play after this. United come into the game having drawn in a great game with Aston Villa at the weekend, but must have concerns with their striking power, with Berbatov and possibly Ronaldo out injured. Manager, Sir Alex Ferguson was talking about recalling Campbell Frazier back from his loan spell at Spurs to ease his anxiety.

A draw in this game however will see both sides through, but it will be Champions league holders, United who will get the seeded position in the next round if the that happens, due to their superior goal difference. Therefore Villarreal have a lot to play for and they will certainly be looking to win, and could make this a very uncomfortable evening for United. This is the fourth encounter between the two teams and, quite amazingly, they have not produced a single goal between them in the previous 270 minutes' combined play. United will also be acutely aware that it was the Portugese who finished on top of the Group when that were last drawn together in 2005/6.

Betting has United 17/10 to win, Villarreal are 2/1 and the draw is also 2/1.
