Manchester United will have to win at trophy holders Bayern Munich on Wednesday if they want to advance to the semi finals, a result that would salvage their poor season. Bayern have already secured the Bundesliga title as opposed to Manchester United who are seventh in the Premier League at the moment. Manchester United held Bayern to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford last week, a good result for David Moyes and his team considering the strength of the opponent.
Bayern are the favourites to qualify though as Bastian Schweinsteiger scored to make it all square last week after Nemanja Vidic had put Manchester United ahead. Schweinsteiger is suspended for the match as he was sent off at Old Trafford. Experienced left back Patrice Evra believes that his side could follow in the footsteps of Chelsea who won the Champions League in 2012 despite finishing sixth in the Premier League.
"It was funny because all season reminded me of the Chelsea season they won the Champions League when they were not playing well in the league," Evra said. "I am not saying we are going to do the same but sometimes you have to be positive, so why not? Of course it is unusual for us to say we can save our season in one game. Now we must make sure the fans will be proud for the second leg against Bayern." The German champions lost 1-0 at Augsburg on Saturday, a result that ended the club's record 53-match unbeaten run in the Bundesliga.
Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:
Bayern Munich win - 2/7 Draw - 11/2 Manchester United win - 10/1

Well the game was going pretty good yesterday, Patrice Evra scored first goal for 0-1 unfortunately, they made they angry and Bayern started pushing so hard that they added 3 to final score. I hardly cried because it was so good looking for my manu. Respect for them for fighting, I wish bayern hit atletico next game.

Ok today is another great game. Bayern munich hosts Man Utd. What I expect in this game is tough fight by manu for the goal. They need to score at least 1 to stay in the game, there was a threat that Rooney will not show up due to injury, however I see in the lineups now he's fine and will play. Well Bayern definitely are...

Well Bayern definitely are big favourites tonight, but I am a big fan of Manu and I dont believe they give up without giving everything they can. I predict 1-1 or 1-2 for manu.
