Man. U v Roma Champions League williamhill.com
- April 8th, 2008
Manchester United face Roma on Wednesday night n the second leg of their Champions League quarter final tie and the result hinges on the state of two things – United’s back-four and the fitness of Francesco Totti.
williamhill.com have you sorted for the best odds on premier and champions league matches!United will be missing Nemanja Vidic who injured himself in the first leg. He’s been such a strong player at the back in the last two seasons that without him United look vulnerable at the back. As shown at the weekend as United conceded two against and dropped two points against Middlesborough.
Rio Ferdinand, who was phenomenal in Rome, is likely to miss the game after limping off in game with Boro. That leaves the highly rated, yet largely untested Gerard Pique leading the line with part time centre-half John O’Shea and although weak in the match a week ago Roma showed enough attacking quality to pose a threat to a makeshift defence.
Which brings us to Francesco Totti who if fit hold the key for Roma. When these sides met in the group stage earlier in the year Totti found a lot of space just in front of the Reds back four and on a different night would have caused more problems but for wasteful finishing.
If Totti is playing than I wouldn’t be surprised if Roma get a result however if the giallorossi’s talisman isn’t fit then the best they can hope for is a draw. Either way a high scoring game could be on the cards.
