UNDER 2.5 Barca/ManU -160
If the game was being played anywhere else but England I would have sided with Barcelona to win this one in regulation. But the fact that this game is at Wembley, makes it a fairly easy call on the UNDER in this one. Sure this play is plenty 'juiced' up, but I don't see more than 2 goals being scored here. United playing in England, will have a tremendous 'home-away-from-home field' advantage. I expect them to play solid futbol, limit Barca's chances and keep the pressure on offensively. I don't see ManU being timid here, as they'll be looking for that crucial goal. Barca's D is very stout as well, and I expect their midfielders to spend more time in the defensive backfield than they're used to. This will force Barca to continuously reset their offense and keep possession in the midfield. More possession equals more time coming off the clock, as ManU's D is tough to penetrate. Either way, expect a good flow to this game, but with limited number of chances, especially early. Neither team will want to give up that first goal (OBVIOUS), but especially Barca who will be playing in a 'hostile' environment.
1-0 Barcelona after regulation.
Good luck!
