ROMA FC vs MANCHESTER UNITED: Who's up for the win?

Seeing this match in the upcoming fixtures in UEFA.com made me feel very excited. Not only will we see a high-quality game but we will also see fierce competition and hopefully, fiercer determination from both sides. In the past few games of Man Untd and AS Roma, it was seen that the Red Devils dominated the action in the pitch. One game was last April 10, 07, when ManU defeated AS Roma, two to one. Cristiano Ronaldo's attacks were enough to render their opponents helpless to the seemingly unending wave of attacks. Another one was on October 2, 2007, when Wayne Rooney scored the only goal of the game, making the Red Devils the winners.

The question is: who's got the greater desire for the win? We all know that both teams want to win. But will certain factors increase or hinder their drive for the win?

In AC Roma's case, I am kind of sure that they would try to take this opportunity to "get back" at the Reds for their defeats in the past few games. although even with this drive, they still run the risk of being intimidated by the excellent players of ManU, Ronaldo, Rooney, Scholes, etc., and hide back underneath their stone.

In Manchester United's case, it is true that they have overcome their opponents quite a number of times already. Although not really winning convincingly, I'm sure that they have sent a message across the pitch: that they won't be giving less than a hundred percent in every game. Will this be enough to make them advance in the next matchday with flying colors? Of course, they run the risk of being too over confident since they have won their past matches.

Who will win? My bet is on the Reds.

What's yours?
