The Champions League 2nd Round continues on Wednesday night as an in-form Marseille side play host to an equally in form Manchester United side in what looks to be a fascinating tie. At 11/10 the bookies are expecting Sir Alex’s side to head back to Manchester with a lead, but I’m not as convinced and believe this may be a tricky tie for United who have won only 8 of 18 away games this season.

Marseille’s record at this stage of the competition is not great, but Didier Deschamps' side appear to be on the up. They’re currently 2nd in Ligue 1, have won 5 of their last 6 games and proved to be more than a match for Chelsea back in October as they came out 1-0 winners. They closed the gap at the top of Ligue 1 at the weekend with a 2-1 win against Saint-Etienne and will be confident of getting a result against United. However, there was a price to pay in that game as the front 3 of Marseilles attack, Brandao, Remy and Gignac all hobbled off injured at different points in the game. Brandao and Remy are expected to recover in time but the in-form Gignac is expected to be out for a few weeks, and that will be a big loss for Marseille.

The biggest battle in the game will come in the midfield as the Marseille trio of Cheyrou, Gonzales and Edouard Cisse take on the United trio of Scholes, Carrick and Fletcher. It’s a battle that may see both teams cancel each other out, and potentially make it a rather subdued low scoring game. Manchester United would be happy to go back to Old Trafford with a 0-0 draw and that always makes me wary. The Under 2.5 goal market may be the place to look at, but a best priced 8/13 looks a little short. Instead I’m going to head to the half time market where there may be a little more value. Man Utd have been drawing at half time in 8 of their 14 away games and with both teams likely to cancel each other out, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the outcome again.

Recommended Bet:

Draw at Half Time :: 11/10

Draw/Draw (HT/FT) :: 4/1
