MANCHESTER UNITED will beat SBOBET Benfica, while Chelsea and Roma share the points in tonight's Champions League clashes.

That is the verdict of pundit and former forward Michael Owen.

In a rare turn of events, each Premier League team is thriving in Europe this season, with all five sitting top of their respective Champions League groups.

United have taken maximum points so far, conceding just once in their three games.

Jose Mourinho's side can all but confirm their place in the next stage of the competition with a win this evening.

Benfica have failed to pick up a single point in Europe this season, and Owen believes their poor run is set to continue at Old Trafford this evening.

"Real Madrid were the last side to beat United at Old Trafford in European competition back in March 2013 and it is hard to see Benfica buck that trend," he told BetVictor.

"They have lost all three group games so far and have not had a shot on target in two of those three ties.

"United SBOBET already have more than one foot in the knock out stages of the competition, but I expect them to make it four wins out of four and book their place in the
last 16 at Old Trafford against the Portuguese champions."

Chelsea are also unbeaten but had to settle for a 3-3 draw at Stamford Bridge two weeks ago.

And Owen believes the result will be the same in Italy tonight.

"There was nothing between the sides in a six-goal thriller at the Bridge on Matchday three and I can’t split the teams back in the Italian capital," he added.

"Eden Hazard has created more chances than any other player in the competition so far this season, but Roma showed in London just what a good side they are.

"It promises to be another cracker and a draw SBOBET wouldn’t be the worst result in the world for either team."
