Champions League
2009-02-24 - Inter Milan vs Manchester United
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:This is the top of the bill Champions League clash featuring Inter Milan who are the top of the Serie A by nine points welcomes defendign Champions League winner Manchester United and also English Champions who top the Premiership by seven points.
Inter Milan are the currenjt odds on favourites to retain the Serie A title but have never in the past fared well in Europe. They have not won the cup for nearly 50 years and that was the reason Jose Mourninho was brought in, to change all that.
Jose Mounrinho has a good head to head meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson side. In 12 games versus Mourinho bossing Porto and Chelsea, Fergie has won just once and lost six.
But Manchester United have improved so much from the one that suffered defeats to Chelsea before under Mounrinho as they have since up their game and resulting in them winning the Premier League and Champions League after Chelsea's domination when Mourinho was in charge of Chelsea.
Manchester United winning the Champions League and Premiership has given them so much confidence and invincibility that they are now a better team then when Mourinho was in charge of Chelsea. The 3-0 thrashing of Chelsea under Luiz Felipe Scolari re-affirms just that.
For the record, Mounrinho defeated United when he was with Porto in the last 16, in a Carling Cup semi-final with Chelsea and also at Stamford Bridge to claim their second title. Oh and also the FA Cup in 2007.
The key to this match will be Cristiano Ronaldo's performance for The Red Devils while for Inter Milan the vital contribution of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
United who have won 16 out of their last 17 in all competitions will miss the services of Nemanja Vidic, who is suspended, while Gary Neville, Wes Brown and Vidic’s likely replacement Jonny Evans are all injured for this clash.
But I am going for this match to end in a draw.
Therefore take Manchester United and accept the 1/4 ball here.
Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
