Manchester United vs Young Boys
Tuesday 27th November 2018, Old Trafford
UEFA Champions League – Group H Qualifier
BT Sport 1 – 20:00 GMT.
Man United vs Young Boys: Manchester United will be looking to build on their win over Juventus last time out by beating Group H’s bottom side, Young Boys.
The Red Devils endured another frustrating afternoon at the weekend as they drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace. That result leaves them seventh in the table, seven points behind the top four. Jose Mourinho’s side struggled to break down a resilient Eagles side as Romelu Lukaku’s struggles infront of goal continued. The Belgian has now gone 11 games without a goal for United, which is a worrying stat.
Lukaku was restored to the starting side for this weekend’s game but was unable to find a breakthrough for side due to Palace’s deep defensive line. Marcus Rashford has been preferred in recent matches and he might be a better option against another side who are likely to park the bus. Juan Mata’s guile and creativity could be crucial as they look to unlock a tight Young Boys’ defence. Anthony Martial will be hoping to continue his fine form after scoring six times in his last eight games.
Young Boys have reached the group stages, or better, on five occasions in the last ten years, proving they are reasonably seasoned in this competition. Their best hopes of a result lay on the shoulders of Guillaume Hoarau, the much-travelled 34-year-old striker. The former PSG man scored 15 times in 20 starts for the club last year as they secured a first league title in 32 years. With the service of ex-Ajax winger Miralem Sulejmani from the left and former Newcastle right-back Kevin Mbabu on the right, Hoarau could prove a real danger to the United goal.
Felix Brych is the referee for this game. The German official plies his trade in the Bundesliga, officiating five top-flight games this season. During that time, he averaged 2.4 cards per game, the third-lowest number in the league. Therefore, I would recommend a maximum of 40+ total booking points for this fixture.
After working so hard to win in Turin, it would be typical of United to drop points against Young Boys. However, I think they get the win and I wouldn’t back against Lukaku getting back on the scoresheet.
Manchester United vs Young Boys will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport 1 with kick off at 20:00 GMT.

Lyon vs Manchester City: Manchester City travel to France to take on Lyon knowing that three points will see Pep Guardiola’s men through to the last 16 of the Champions League.
The Premier League champions would also cement their spot as group winners with a victory. Guardiola’s men are in a ruthless mood at the minute, dispatching West Ham 4-0 at the weekend. Leroy Sane gabbed a brace but once against the star of the show was David Silva. The Spanish magician has been in scintillating form this campaign in the absence of Kevin De Bruyne. He’s been the hallmark of Guardiola’s reign at the Etihad and is without a doubt now one of the Premier League’s greatest ever players. Despite hitting 100 points last year, City now seem to have got better against all odds. This all without their best performer last season. They could seal the ultimate prize this season and win the Champions League. They are now favourites with most bookies, after Real Madrid’s poor start to the season.
Lyon upset all the odds in Group F’s opening round as they won 2-1 against City at the Etihad. In Ligue 1 they sit second in the table but are 15 points behind PSG in the table. Their biggest threats come from captain Nabil Fekir and Memphis Depay. The Dutchman has scored ten goals in 24 appearances this season, which sparked some talk of a return to Manchester United. The Red Devils have a buy-back clause in Depay’s contract, believed to be set around £40m. Lyon are in the driving seat to finish second in the group; they hold a three-point lead over Hoffenheim who play Shakhtar Donetsk, who could also still qualify.
Gianluca Rocchi is the referee for this game. The Italian plies his trade in Serie A, where has officiated five matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average card total of 4.4 per game. Therefore, I would recommend a maximum of 50+ total points for this fixture.
Nobody expected Lyon to win in Manchester but given the form of Guardiola’s side, it’s hard to predict anything but a City win. Given their defeat last time, I think it will only make them more determined to put things right.
Lyon vs Manchester City will be televised live on BT Sport 2 with kick off at 20:00 GMT.

Brentford vs Sheffield United: the visitors will be hoping to close the gap on the automatic promotion places when they take on Brentford at Griffin Park.
The Blades dropped two vital points at the weekend as they drew 2-2 at Rotherham United. Jamie Proctor snatched the Millers a deserved point with a 92nd– minute strike, despite United only regaining the lead in the 86th-minute. In truth, United were outplayed by their Yorkshire neighbours, with manager Chris Wilder admitting they were “off the pace” after the game.
The Blades have a tough run of games and have taken just two points from two derbies that they really should have won. They take on Leeds United, West Brom and Derby County in their next five games, which puts the onus on a positive result against the Bees. Mark Duffy’s recent performances have given cause for optimism. Despite being 33, Duffy seems to be producing his best form at Championship level. Whilst he only has three goals this season, he has an 85% pass accuracy, producing 1.4 key passes per game.
Brentford suffered another at the weekend, going down 2-1 against Middlesbrough. They have won just once in 12 matches in all competitions, which has undone their good work from earlier in the campaign. Thomas Frank has just one win in charge of the Bees; if they want to reach the play-offs that form will need to improve. That drop in form has correlated with Neil Maupay’s lack of goals. After starting the season with eight goals in six games the Frenchman has four goals in his last 11. Whilst that is hardly a goal drought, it underlines how he has suffered along with the team.
Stephen Martin is the referee for this game. The Englishman has officiated six games in the second tier this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 35.8. Therefore, I would advise a maximum 50+ total points for this fixture.
Sheffield United will be disappointed with their performance at the weekend, which usually follows a response. Wilder will have his team firing on all cylinders and that means they’ll probably come away with all three points.
Brentford vs Sheffield United will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.
Prediction: Brentford 1-2 Sheffield United

Suggested Tips – Brentford vs Sheffield United – (SKYBET):
- To Score & Win – Mark Duffy – 15/2.
- Both Players to score – Billy Sharp & Neal Maupay – 3/1.
- Sheffield United Price Boost – Sheffiled United to win and BTTS Yes – 3/1.
