S.P. Read Esq: Man U v FC Basel
Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to Tuesday’s Champions League clash between MAN U v FC BASEL and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.
Veritable feast of Group stage Champions League action tonight with UK interest from Man U, Chelsea and Celtic.
The treble on Man U, Chelsea and PSG beating Celtic only weighs in at around 8/11 on the fixed odds so we will need to did deeper to find value.
Easy to take for granted but TV viewers really are spoilt for choice with BT Sport offering all eight Champions League games live tonight so you pays yer money and really do take yer choice.
For me, I’ll stick with the action at Old Trafford. It’s the third time the teams have met in the Group stages of the Champions League and it certainly hasn’t been straight forward for the Red Devils against the Swiss side. It’s one win apiece and two draws from the four games to date.
Man U, back in the Champions League for the first time since 2015 via their Europa Cup win last season will also face Benfica and CSKA Moscow in Group A.
Man U manager Jose Mourinho said: “Being back in the Champions League is going back to the natural habitat.
“Manchester United have been there season after season.
“For some players there’s the motivation of playing in it for the first time, so we look forward to the match and I hope also Old Trafford feels it in the same way we are feeling.”
For tonight their side will be weakened as they are likely to be without Marouane Fellaini who picked up a calf injury in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Stoke.
Tonight’s opponents Basel are on a wretched run of Champions League form. They are winless in their last 10 Champions League games (D4 L6), their longest drought in the competition.
