On Wednesday, Manchester United hosts AC Milan in the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie. All odds point to Man United in this one as former United hero David Beckham comes to town. AC Milan struggled in the first leg with Man United getting the 3-2 win last month and there should be a repeat of the same, whether Man United is with or without Wayne Rooney.

Even a draw would put Man United into the Champions League quarterfinals. This match will be the fourth meeting between the two clubs in four seasons. Man United has a 2-1 record over AC Milan and has generated 3 or more goals in each match. If there is one thing Man United knows, it’s how to win late in the season. The club has won eight of its last ten matches, with one loss and a draw. They have dropped three matches at home. They have kept visitors to .5 goals per game.

AC Milan has three wins, a draw and a loss in its last five matches. The second half of the Serie A season has not been kind but the club has performed well on the road with just one loss in 13 road games. The offense has produced 1.3 goals per away game. The last time Beckham played in the Champions League at Old Trafford, he scored twice. With Rooney questionable and Michael Owen out for the rest of the season, Dimitar Berbatov may be the best bet for a goal this match. We may be looking at a 1-0 scoreline in this one. Look for a lay bet on AC Milan, which would cover the draw or a Man United win.
