Man U V Benefica Preview
On Tuesday November 22, 11 sports betting enthusiast from across the globe will be tuning into their local soccer station, to watch Manchester United take on Benefica in Champions League action. When these two historic franchises faced one another in September, they drew to a one goal tie. For Canadian footy fans, the game was better then anything they had seen in a Toronto FC game this season. Here is a preview of the rematch between Man U and Benefica.
In their last five games, Man U has won four and dropped one, while Benefica has drawn twice, but finds themselves on a three game winning streak. United lost their last EPL matchup to inter city rivals Man City, by a score of six to one. Benefica, on the contrary, has scored five goals in their three game winning streak.
Looking at the Champions League group stage standings, the two squads are tied atop the standings, having each won two games and drawn two games. The winner of this game will win the division and receive a weaker opponent in the next round. On paper, it seems as though Man United is struggling with its identity. In essence, bookie software enthusiasts have never seen a team this young at Old Trafford.
Meaning to say, when United was destroyed by Man City last weekend, bookies and fans alike weren’t sure if this was a sign of things to come or if it was a fluke. Benefica is also in an interesting position heading into their rematch with United. Riding a three game winning streak, Benefica could see their stock rise dramatically internationally, if they can pull off the victory against the Red Devils. With transfer season only a couple of months away, a victory over Manchester United would intrigue a lot of potential free agents to sign with the club.
