My tip: Win for Manchester

The second team from Manchester also has qualified into the round before the quarter final of the Europe League as expected and will measure the strengths with the very uncomfortable Spanish team Athletic Bilbao which shows excellent games lately, too now particularly in the attack. They have therefore also managed also in the previous round of the Europe League, straight because of the obtained outwards goal to eliminate engine, lasting, Unitedly many problems with the Dutch Ajax had from Moscow. The beginning: 08.03.2012. - 21:05

This one "talk" Devils have namely after the 2:0 victory in Amsterdam, in the return match on its Old Stratford played rather disinterestedly and in the last ones minutes Ajax had even a leadership of 2:1 and they have lacked only a hit for a surprise. Has made but United that keep net and itself surely has too qualifiedly but the dully had aftertaste left for the next round so own. This also has confirmed coach Ferguson which has spat at a couple of players correctly just after the game. Obviously this has proved to be effective and they already have won in the English league in the next two meetings again. They still therefore have only two points delay behind the leading "Citizens". But here one also must mention that they also have respectively collected a hit in these two games and to be more precise against Norwich and Tottenham, what is rather alarming with Athletic Bilbao shortly before the duel, playing no matter at home or outwards whether it because Bilbao already is longer than a team which plays a rather offensive football confessed. Because of this coach has announced Ferguson that this time from the first minute should recovered the after the return, recovered just, sampling should get the opportunity its attack then will on the other hand, too, to fasten the last row still more have a try together with experienced Ferdinand, lasting, be more efficient for Rooney, perhaps also something this one this one. If it is about the midfield, much is expected from the fast Nani and Young. Young is the trace the double goal scorer by the way against been. Also furthermore are injury conditional for Fletcher, Cleverley and Valencia as well as inside defender Vidic, goalkeeper Lindegaard and go-getter Owen not.

Expected list United: De Gea - Jones, sampling, Ferdinand, Evra - Young, Carrick, Giggs, Nani - Rooney, Hernandez

 

We have already because it after 2:1 in Moscow, in front of the fans of its own had to break through the re-stand of the tough guests for a long time, this, however, has been worth it then in the 62nd minute and although has obtained a hit as the young Muniain said that the Basque team has won the round before the quarter final of the Europe League with good luck. So that it gets even more interesting, only two minute was expelled from the inside defenders Amorebieta of the place because of the second yellow card in front of that but this has not disturbed the hosts at all. On the contrary, they then have played still more offensively and then have come very fast to the longed-for hit. They also have been the much better and more agile team until end but what then has meant anyway at the end that they get further into the next round has remained at 1:0, where the draw not good meant it with them at all has and they have got the top favourite of this competition as opponent probably? Where they have fetched a series of two victories and a draw but its last games in the Primera what it also has taken to the terrific fifth position, we do not think that they will come to Manchester with a white flag after, judging. Coach Bielsa also therefore has one announced angreiferische start formation quite again in which Muniain and Susaet will represent a great danger for the opposing goal next to the Spanish national player Lorient, also the young duo. You are very dangerously, specially the tall midfield player Martinez and an inside defender Ekiz who will by the way get the opportunity instead of the suspended Amorebieta also at the standard situations. The defensive players Ocio and Castillo as well as midfield players Gurpegi injured earlier do not compete besides Amorebieta for this meeting either.

Expected list Athletic: Iraizoz - Iraola, San Jose, Ekiza, Aurtenetxe - Javi Martinez, de Marcos - Susaeta, Herrera, Muniain - Llorente

Of course Manchester United is at home the favourite against every team but we may by no means neglect the last terrific games of the Basques particularly in the attack. We therefore expect that the Basques at least also obtain a hit on the Old Stratford, what would mean then automatically that the hosts, having to meet at least two then, if they want to win.
