Manchester United vs CSKA Moscow Match Preview

Angela Asante, Oct 30th 2009
Manchester United will host CSKA Moscow at Old Trafford on Tuesday as Champions League football returns in early November.

Manchester United table statistics and analysis

A point will be enough for the 2008 UEFA Champions League winners to qualify into the last sixteen of this season’s European tournament.

Manchester United are one of the few teams in the competition to possess a perfect record so far. The Red Devils have picked up three victories out of three games and all of those have proven to be real battles.

In the opening game against Besiktas, a lone goal from veteran midfielder Paul Scholes was enough to remove the pressure off the Mancunians.

On match-day two, goals from Ryan Giggs and Michael Carrick powered them to a hard-fought 2-1 win over the visitors VfL Wolfsburg.

A fortnight ago, it took Valencia’s late strike to seal Manchester United’s victory against CSKA Moscow on artificial grass.

So four goals scored and two clean sheets have put the 2009 European beaten finalists at the top of Group E.

Manchester United are five points ahead of second-placed Wolfsburg, meaning that even a draw will push them through to the last sixteen of the UEFA Champions League.

CSKA Moscow table statistics and analysis

CSKA Moscow have a lot of work to do if they want to stay in the continent’s most prestigious club football competition.

A sole victory in between two defeats – one of which came against Manchester United in October – have damaged their hopes and dreams.

CSKA Moscow are left with only three points and in third place in the table. The expectations of this Russian team are high and a switch to the Europa League is not an option for them.

Surviving in the Champions League is their aim and this requires a victory at Old Trafford against the giants Red Devils.

A win could move CSKA Moscow onto second in the table should Wolfsburg fail to beat Besiktas.

General view on CSKA Moscow’s trip to Manchester United

Since losing 3-2 to AC Milan back in 2007, the Red Devils never lost again at Old Trafford in the Champions League. It will be hard for CSKA Moscow to win against all the odds on Tuesday evening.

However, football sometimes presents surprises and we’ve seen underdogs making giant killings at many occasions.

After the departure of former Sevilla boss Juande Ramos, CSKA Moscow will try to reorganize quickly under new coach Leonid Slutsky.

The former Krylia Sovetov manager will have to leave up to his club’s expectations on Tuesday.

Slutsky is the third man in charge of CSKA Moscow this season as Zico was also sacked earlier in September.
