Game: MANCHESTER UNITED vs INTER MILAN
Type: Champions League
Date: 11 March, 2009
PREVIEW
Can Man Utd's dream of sweeping all five titles that they're currently involved in for come true? With both the Carling Cup and the World Club Championship already in the bag, the players need no extra motivation as they seek to complete the clean sweep. Man Utd have been imperious at home, remaining undefeated in their last 21 home games, and keeping a record of 15 clean sheets in the process. They average 2.13 goals at home, compared to a meagre 0.67 goals conceded. This is real mean stats.
With the tie evenly balanced at 0-0 from the 1st leg, visitors Inter Milan will be seeking to get a goal against the seemingly impregnable Man Utd's defence. The visitors have scored in almost all their 18 away games (except for 3), and averages 1.89 goals per away game. With Man Utd expected to attack as the host, Inter will be hoping to sneak in with an away goal through their counter attacking forays.
KWIK STATS
HOME > MANCHESTER UTD
AWAY > INTER MILAN
THE PICK
MAN UTD looks unstoppable on current form, and with Inter having a list of injuries to their defensive line up, particularly Chivu, Materazzi and Burdisso, its hard to see how Inter is able to stop the Red Devils from progressing to the next round.
