What an interesting prospect we have tonight!<\/p>\n
Thanks to the vagaries of the aggregate score system you would think that somebody must score to go through tonight. Well I suppose it could go to extra time and penalties but you would hazard a guess that both teams would look to seal it before that. Arsenal need to overturn a 1-0 deficit, which doesn’t look impossible and Man U know if they score Arsenal will need three goals.<\/p>\n
This seems to be reflected in the market, as it is pricing in more or less 2.4-2.5 goals with a tiny advantage to Man U. This is significant because matches of these types would typically be priced at a much lower goal tally. However, most of the ‘derivate’ markets seem to reflect that in their pricing and the prices look pretty much spot on across the board.<\/p>\n
The draw trading higher at some point looks a distinct possibility. Man Utd got away with a slim result in Porto so I doubt they will want to hold onto a 0-0 or risk squeezing another tight result. An interesting scenario and one that would create a very entertaining match would be an early goal by either side. I suspect that each manager has instructions not to concede early, at any cost. Should be an interesting match, lets hope for an early goal.<\/p>\n
