Wolfsburg v Manchester United
Champions League 2009
Dec 8, 2009 8:45 PM CET
Volkswagen-Arena
Referee: Bjorn Kuipers (NL)
Match Preview
QUOTE
Qualifying chances: United have already qualified and Wolfsburg will also go through unless CSKA achieve a better result than the Germans in the final group games.

The top three teams could all finish on 10 points but that would leave CSKA out of the running on direct encounters.
Wolfsburg would finish top with a two-goal win over United but they could also place third. Besiktas would reach the Europa League with a 1-0 or two-goal win over CSKA.
Head-to-head record
Played: 1
Wins: United 1
Previous meeting
CL: GP 30.09.09 United 2-1 Wolfsburg
Facts
Wolfsburg, playing in only their 20th European game, beat Portsmouth 3-2 in the UEFA Cup last season in their only previous home match against an English club.
If Wolfsburg qualify, it will be the first time they have reached the last 16 of a European competition.
United striker Wayne Rooney could play in his 50th CL game. He has scored 15 goals in the competition, the same tally for the club as his former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo.
United are unbeaten in their last 14 Champions League away games and have won the last four. They have conceded a mere two goals in the last 10.
Misses next match if booked: Nemanja Vidic (Manchester United)
