The away team turned a few heads when they beat Benfica on their own patch a couple of weeks ago in Group A’s opening night of fixtures. The Russians are dark horses in our CSKA Moscow vs Manchester United betting tips and they have only lost twice at home in twelve matches at this level. CSKA have only lost twice in twelve in all competitions too – they aren’t used to losing.

In the weeks before our CSKA Moscow vs Manchester United predictions, Mourinho’s men have been picking up some great results, though some of their performances have probably deserved less in terms of points. They started life in the Champions League this season with an emphatic 3-0 win over Basel, but their foray into Eastern Europe should prove a far more testing challenge.

United are unbeaten against CSKA over four meetings historically between the clubs. Interestingly the Russians have held United twice though, holding them 1-1 the last time they played each other in Moscow in October 2015. United won 1-0 in the VEB Arena in 2009 thanks to a much deserved late goal from Ecuadorian Antonio Valencia.

CSKA Moscow vs Manchester United Prediction and Betting Advice

Despite Utd’s superb results this season across three competitions, the quality of their overall displays has been dwindling in recent weeks and it feels like a poor result is just around the corner. The Red Devils are notoriously bad on their European travels, winning just one from six on the road in the UCL. Our CSKA Moscow vs Manchester United picks are influenced greatly by the Russians ability to dig out results on their own patch. Although they are strangers to progression to the knockout stages, they have lost just twice in twelve in front of their own supporters, despite playing teams like Man City, Roma and Monaco. CSKA are capable of upsetting United and should be able to wrangle a point away from their more illustrious opponents. Ladbrokes price for the outright draw represents the best value across all bookies for that outcome.

Next up in our free expert football tips today is a selection from the very lucrative goal markets. In three of the four meetings between our featured clubs, there have been under 2.5 goals scored. Similarly, in the last seven times, CSKA have taken to the pitch at the VEB Arena in the Champions League, there have been under 2.5 goals scored. Their 2-0 qualification match against Young Boys was the first time they had scored more than once at home in Europe since September 2015. Interestingly, Wednesday’s match is just United’s 3rd UCL away match since October 2015 – the first of those 3 fixtures was that 1-1 draw against Moscow mentioned earlier. All the data tells us that goalmouth action should be at a premium this week. 10Bet have fantastic odds for this under goals market prediction so we recommend you take their prices while you can.
