Conclusion and Match Preview:

The Red Devils regularly face challenges when coming to Russia, and one of those was when the Moscow club forced England giants Man United to a 1-1 draw in their home back in last October 2015.

Fact that all three defeats the Red and Blues have come at the VEB Arena may encourage Jose Mourinho's team, who have kept a clean sheet in 6 out of their last seven competitive games this season. Our recommended bet goes on a slight advantage of Reds but with the hosts drawing a blank in the end.
