Besiktas vs Manchester United

"...Man City will be the dark horse for the title challenge as they dont have European campaigns this season."

-Gary, 16 Sep 2009

Man Utd seem to have a habit of doing a come back against Tottenham. And Paul Scholes forever get send off for clumsy challenges, perhaps he need to learn how to tackle at the appropriate time. Does anyone notice Owen didnt feature for the last 2 matches even though he was on the bench?

Both Man City and Tottenham have gone through tests against the Top 4 over the weekend and the results are out. I think Man City poses a bigger threat than Tottenham, after disposing Arsenal 4-2. They will be against Man Utd the next weekend for the second test. Good thing Tevez is injured. As the season is taking shape, i do think that Man City will be the dark horse for the title challenge as they dont have any European campaigns this season.

Speaking of which, Man Utd will begin their European Cup campaign against Besiktas. With one eye on the upcoming derby against Man City, Man Utd will want to start the campaign on a positive note. They will be facing Besiktas for the first time although Man Utd have only won once against Turkish opponents on 4 occasions.

Besiktas Team News: Ibrahim Toraman is out.

Man Utd Team News: Edwin van der Sar and Owen Hargreaves are out.

Odds and Analysis: Man Utd is giving 1 ball. I think Man Utd will win this match but by the odd goal. No point punting for this match as you only get back what you have punt.
