Bayern value at evens




(First Published: Wednesday 31st March 2010 at 12:20hrs GMT)





Many Manchester United fans will still be expecting their side to progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League and the bookies agree.

Bayern Munich can be backed at even money to dump United out again and, despite the Red Devils' home form, that has to be considered good value.

When Wayne Rooney tucked home on 64 seconds, the two-legged tie was at the Red Devils' mercy.

Sir Alex Ferguson's team effectively had 89 minutes to score again and, effectively, kill off the German giants.

Two away goals in Europe is a massive bonus.

Instead, Bayern battled back to get the victory they deserved and, although 1-2 is arguably a better result in some ways than 0-0, they can go to Manchester with plenty of confidence.

Louis van Gaal's tactic has been to attack away from home and this has reaped dividends in previous matches.

With Arjen Robben presumably returning, you'd have to fancy him and Franck Ribery to worry the United defence enough to get Bayern on the scoresheet.

One goal is no disaster for United but two would obviously leave Ferguson's side needing four.

If Bayern get their tactics right again and hit the hosts on the break, this could be the doomsday scenario for last season's beaten finalists.

Admittedly, United know 1-0 will see them through and, on the flip side, you can't see Bayern keeping a clean sheet with their dodgy defence - even if Wayne Rooney does miss out - but I'd have Munich as slight, and only slight, favourites at the moment.

The old adage that United can't play as badly again doesn't really hold much water and it's probably going to come down to tactics on the night.
