The Germans are finding themselves in a must win situation. Of course, they could qualify even with a point and a CSKA loss to Besiktas, but a win here is handy and would stop them from any further calculations. They managed a good game at Manchaster already, but they lost it mainly because of the United`s players higher experience at European level. They don`t have important squad problems for this game and Veh`s men will look forward to a win, especially after the bitter result from Moscow when again they lost after being 1-0 up.
United
Manchaster United is already qualified before their last group game, the only question being whether they will qualify from the first or second position. Anyway, in the past years, United used us not to pay too much attention to their last group games in the Champions League when the qualifying issue was settled. They will also have some big squad problems before this game, especially at the back. So, Ferdinand, Vidic, Neville, Brown, Rafael, Fabio, O`Shea and Evans haven`t made the trip to Wolfsburg. Also, Belgian defender de Laet is not eligible to play in the Champions League. Under these circumstances, it is expected for Carrick to play as a central defender, along with youngster Oliver Gill, who only made 9 appearances so far for the reserve team. Reserve players Cameron Stewart, Matty James, Magnus Eikrem and Oliver Norwood will also make the travel to Germany, while Rooney, Giggs, Berbatov and Macheda were left home, being rested for the league game against Aston Villa.
Home win
I really believe Wolfsburg has what it takes to overcome this experimental United team. The English side has no special motivation, and they used to tank the last games from the group stage. Just have in mind that 3-0 loss to Maccabi few years ago, and nu further explanation is needed. Still, i will take this bet with medium stakes because, given the possibility Besiktas will take the lead over CSKA, the Germans will get a little sloppy, and they could easily settle for a draw.
