Reasons For Manchester United vs CSKA Moscow Predictions & Betting Tips

The Manchester United Squad are the favourites for this match with odds of 1.70 with bet365, but despite their great form, Russia is never an easy place to visit for away teams.

United may have won the 2008 Champions League in Moscow, but their record against Russian clubs isn’t the best. They have only ever won once there, against Wednesday’s opponents CSKA back in 2009.

Still, given their excellent start to the season we are backing them to get a result at the VEB Arena. We are predicting a 2-0 United win at 7.50 with Unibet.

Europe’s elite have been toppled in Eastern Europe many times during the Champions League group stages in previous years, but often that is partly due to the freezing conditions and artificial pitches they have to play on.

However, unlike the former Luzhniki Stadium where United triumphed in that 2008 final, the new VEB Arena has a grass surface which will suit Jose Mourinho’s men. In late September, it shouldn’t be too cold either in the Russian capital. No colder than Manchester during the winter at least.

With 8 goals already this season, Romelu Lukaku looks a good bet to score the first goal at 4.33 with bet365. The Belgian opened the scoring with what turned out to be the winner in Saturday’s win over Southampton.

CSKA will pose a threat for sure, but Mourinho is a master of these European away ties and will set up his team to get the three points.
