After a somewhat boring and goalless game in France, Manchester United meets Marseille at home on Old Trafford.
On Saturday, United met Arsenal in the FA Cup, a game easily won with 2:0, where few of the starts rested and are ready for this game. An interesting fact is that no French team has beaten Manchester United on Old Trafford ever. The Red Devils have recorded 4 draws and 4 victories. On top of that United are unbeaten in the Champions League this season, recording 4 wins and 3 draws. The team has conceded on 1 goal in the group stage, making them the team with the best defense.
Marseille have not conceded a goal in 512 minutes, the longest run so far. The team did well in the first game, keeping their net clean, but was not able to score. Marseille has let only 13 shots to be fired at their goal this season, which is quite impressive. In the weekend Marseille was expected to rest for this game and mostly like draw or lose their visit to Renne. However the team won with 2:0.

United are unbeaten in 11 games on Old Trafford, winning 10 and drawing 1. However the 3 games played from the group stage saw only 2 goals scored by the Red Devils (0:0, 1:1 , 1:0) and 3 goals in total.
While the bet365 appoints United for indisputable winner, with odds of 1.50 the game isn’t that easy as it looks. Both teams have met once in 1999 for the Champions League, a game that ended 2:1.
Bottom line, both teams need at least a goal, if they would like to advance in the quarter final stage of the tournament after the 90th minute. United might even want to score at least 2 goals to secure their lead just in case they receive a goal. However by looking at the amount of goals scored this season on Old Trafford in the Champions League, as well as the stats of both teams for conceded goals, I am guessing that we will witness very few goals, or perhaps a goalless draw and extra time.
