Wolfsburg need just one point against Bastian Schweinsteiger and Co. tonight to get to the round of 16, but Dieter Hecking is leaving nothing to chance. "We’re going for the win!" he said ahead of the Champions League group stage match.
Should they win tonight, Wolfsburg would finish top of the group, but if they lost, Manchester United would finish top and PSV would go through, assuming that they beat CSKA. The Europa League would be a poor consolation, so the match is a big spectacle for the 26,000 spectators.
Dampened atmosphere
Anticipation ahead of the Champions League game against has had a cloud cast over it by the 2-1 defeat to Dortmund this weekend, which was described as "extremely disappointing" by captain Diego Benaglio. The loss to second-place Dortmund has had an effect physically and mentally. "We worked incredibly hard to get the equaliser," said national player Julian Draxler. The same thing should not happen against Manchester United. "We must cut out the mistakes," said Draxler.
United under pressure
Manchester United are in a difficult position as a draw may not be enough to get them through to the next round of the Champions League. "I think he can get better with every game. We have not yet seen the best of him which I saw in my time at Bayern Munich," said manager Van Gaal after the 0-0 draw with West Ham this weekend. Schweinsteiger wants to make a good impression in the game, and even back in August after the draw, he said that the game in Wolfsburg would be "special for [him]".
