Obviously ManYoo with much the better players, but Celtic have been formidable at home in recent years, with just 1 loss (against Barcelona) in their last 25 European games. However, most of that impressive record was established during the reign of former manager Martin O'Neill. Celtic fared poorly internationally last season under Gordon Strachan, so it's hard to say anything conclusive. Win over debutantes FCK (1:0) was deserved but not impressive.
The draw is a bit tempting, because both sides will feel a point is satisfactory. Usually takes more than pure motivational factors to convince me to bet and Celtic will have their hands full, dealing with Saha, Rooney and Ronaldo. A win will secure a ticket to the knockout-stage for ManYoo. How much, they're willing to risk is another big unknown. Losing could see them relive the nightmare from last season: defeat at Old Trafford to Benfica (!) and a humiliating end to the European campaign. |

ManU are on fire in the Premiership and I'd take them at that price, especially at + odds. All depends on what side they are fielding but, as Kareem said, they only need a win to guarantee winning the group. I'd feel that they'd start a strong team in the Celtic match to try and win so they can field the kids in the last match. If nothing else, they don't want a repeat of last year.

Like I said, ManU were due a fall.
Should make it an interesting set of final matches since Benfica have the chance to knock them out of the competition for the second straight year.
