Mar. 4 - Champions League Pick

Manchester United v Lyon
Champions League
Tuesday, 7.45pm (UK time)

It would be a brave punter who opposes Manchester United playing at home with the advantage of a 1-1 draw from the away leg but Lyon’s unexpectedly accomplished performance at Stade de Gerland a fortnight ago means Sir Alex Ferguson’s side may well suffer the occasional scare before taking their place in the quarter-finals.

United will have to self-destruct not to go through here - that priceless away goal has earned them odds-on status and deservedly so. They should have too much firepower for the French champions at home and we are anticipating a two goal winning margin. History is on United’s side too: all four sides that have drawn 1-1 in the away leg of a last 16 clash during the past five seasons have progressed via the return fixture at home.

Have 1pt each on Man United to win 2-0 and 3-1 at 6/1 and 14/1 respectively.
