Midweek Outlook (26 Apr 2011)

   Schalke 04 vs Manchester United  

It's seems like our tactic these days is to force an away draw (hopefully with an away goal as well), then bring them home for the kill.

Gone are the days of dominance where we just kill then at their own home ground and then leisurely qualify in the return-leg.

On a brighter note, we are closer to the Premier League title as we beat 1-0. Would have been title in the bag (well, almost) had Chelsea not have a resurgance and replace the sputtering Arsenal for the title challenge.

3 wins in the last 4 games is all we need. Perhaps the game against Chelsea on 8 May 2011 would be the title decider?

Coming to this game, Fergie isn't too confident coming into this game. We have been very sucky against German teams losing all 4 of our last encounters.

Despite the fact that the Germans are labeled as the underdogs in this fixture, I seriously have my doubts if it is going to be so one sided.

Berbatov will certainly not be featuring today, making way for Rooney to partner Hernandes up front in what is likely to be a 4-4-2 formation.

ManUtd, despite being the visitors have to give a 0.25-ball handicap with a relatively easier 1.925 decimal odds to beat it. Punters are skewed at 53% in favour of ManUtd and the 1X2 odds for a away win is even lesser than a home victory.

I seriously have my doubts if ManUtd can pull off a win here. A draw would have been a fantastic results but it would mean losing the Asian Handicap.

I say stay away from this punt. The Away Jinx still looms precariously over our heads.
