Man Utd v PSG

The first of our Feb 12-13 Champions League betting tips is for Man Utd v PSG. Champions League football returns to our screens in midweek with four fixtures split evenly between Tuesday 12 and Wednesday 13 February. Each of the round of 16 ties will be shown live on BT Sport from 8.00pm and it promises to be a feast of top football for both armchair fans and punters. With home teams looking to stick their noses in front in the two-leg fixtures, while those in the away dressing room are desperate to keep things tight, we have all the ingredients for another classic night from European football’s premier competition.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has enjoyed a fantastic start to his time as caretaker manager of Manchester United and he’ll hope he can do enough to win the post full-time; however, in order to give himself the best chance of getting the nod, he must nail down a top-four finish in the Premier League and find a way into the latter stages of this tournament. The Red Devils went on a winning run since Ole’s appointment, beating the likes of Newcastle and Tottenham without conceding a goal. This will prove a much tougher test and bookmakers have the locals Man U as second-favourites in the match betting market, 8/5 available on the home cheer with Bet365. In what will be a 50/50 match-up, we’ve got to take a bite of that.

Parisians Looking to Score

PSG travel to Manchester with the support of bookmakers and they’ll see this as a perfect time to take on the English club, given the amount of uncertainty that remains in the dressing room following Jose Mourinho’s exit. The visitors will fancy themselves good enough to finish this match off at the earliest opportunity, gaining an advantage in England before seeing things out on their own patch. They are one of the pre-season favourites to win the title outright, after all.

Domestically, PSG is on their usual winning run and have already established themselves at the top of Ligue 1 with the title looking in the bag, even at this stage of the campaign. They won 18 and drew two of their first 20 league matches, scored 66 goals and conceded just 11. What’s more, they are a talented side with money in the bank, an embarrassment of skill in the squad and feel they have a point to prove after misfiring in this competition last year. Unai Emery bit the bullet as a result and the board will have no problems wielding the axe again this summer if they don’t think they are getting value for money from their employees. The away win is 28/17 – top price at Unibet – with a draw going 11/4.

Our Tip: Man U to win – 8/5 at Bet365
