8/1 for Real to sneak win over United

Manchester United’s European mettle will be tested by Real Madrid on Wednesday night and they will need to stop Cristiano Ronaldo taking control of the game.

There are a range of markets, including on the night and to qualify. There's not likely to be a lot between the two sides and if the match lives up to the pre-game hype we are likely to be in for an attacking firecracker. Both sides possess brilliant forwards and home advantage could well tip the balance in Real's favour. Real are 13/20 to win the game, while they can also be backed at 8/1 with bet365 to win the match 1-0.

Looking at the whole tie, Real can be backed at 3/5 to progress to the quarter-finals – while Red Devils fans can wade in and support their charges at 7/5 to advance.

With 16 of Europe’s elite, even progressing through this tie will not guarantee success. But if you are of the opinion that the winner will come from these two, Real can be had at 9/2 and United 12/1.
