Double chance : draw or Manchester United

Villarreal are heading into this Champions League match in a rough patch. They have lost their last two games and have not won any of their last five, with a couple of draws mixed in. Manchester United are also struggling, having lost their last two matches, but before that, they managed a win and a draw. Both teams are clearly low on confidence and looking for a turnaround.

Looking at their past meetings, the matches have been tight and low-scoring, with one win for each side. Since neither team is in good form and their recent games have not been particularly high-scoring, this looks like it could be a very close and cautious match. A draw seems like the most likely outcome.
