UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

I see no reason to think that the match will be one-sided and Manchester United will win. I am not denying that Manchester United's performance is quite stable now compared to before. But winning against Barcelona is a very difficult task for them. I watched Barcelona's performance against Real Madrid. Barcelona players played well and won 3-1. Barcelona players are also in very good form now. And so it is now impossible to predict which team will win the Manchester United vs Barcelona match. Since the first match is Barcelona's home match, I will put the Barcelona team ahead.

Manchester United fans can have that feeling but they are not people who will play but players do. Players of Manchester United and Barcelona are mostly similar in quality and their recent forms are nearly similar too. No club surely wins these matches between two big clubs with some similarities like that.

Barcelona players even have more times to play and connect with each other than Manchester United. Xavi have more months in Barcelona than Ten Hag in Manchester United and I believe a winner will be decided with very minor difference. It can be decided by a single goal or difference from home-away goals.

At least Barcelona played a good game in El Clasico and at the same time made them successful in presenting Xavi with the first trophy after serving as the main coach at Barcelona. The revival of Barcelona and Manchester United occurred at the same time when the two of them met in the Europa League, this match was like an early Europa League final. Both teams are at their best level, Barcelona and Manchester United have achieved success according to their respective versions.

Xavi and Ten Hag are doing well to improve Barcelona and Manchester United. Xavi has more time and he has a first cup, a first achievement in Barcelona but Ten Hag is still looking for his first title with Manchester United.

With the condition of the two teams being equally strong, it will be difficult to make predictions in this match. I don't want to take risks when this match starts, I will join this match without betting on any club.

I predicted minor differences will decide the winner like their matches in Champions League years ago that were decided by a single goal from Paul Scholes.

I still see it 50% for Barcelona and Manchester United both to advance to next stage in the Europa League. Because while Barcelona are improving their performance Manchester United aren't just watching these days. Manchester United have made a big progress in the English Premier League recently and maybe it could be even a bigger one than Barcelona's.
However it is nice to see Barcelona starting to get over their problems against powerful teams. Maybe it was a Super Cup game rather than a La Liga one. But still both managers were eager to win that title.

IMO, I'm not a fan of The Red Devils. but looking at United's current track record, they appear to be showing a very positive trend. Ten Hag, was able to take his troops one step further than before. even so, I can't say that Man United is already in their best performance. at least, Ten Hag still needs some newcomers to strengthen his team especially for pure Strikers. because after all, Rashford will not always perform at his best in every match. but, at least United have now shown a pretty solid game. next, Ten Hag still needs a little time to bring United to win trophies in various competitions.
On the other hand, what Barcelona displayed in the El Clasico Super Cup match Espana. enough to impress me, Barcelona looks different with the new formation and rotation of players that Xavi has implemented. even so, the victory over Madrid is not a benchmark that Barcelona will win the match against United in the playoffs later. So, this is the game we've been waiting for.

Even if someone asked me how the match would go between these two few weeks back, I would've said that we would get a really dull match. But right now as it seems, we are off for a great game of football. Both Manchester United and FC Barcelona have been in insane form lately so it is going to be really hard to predict who might come out as the winner of the match.

Manchester United recently won the Manchester Derby. And Barcelona have just beat their rivals Real Madrid in the finals so I guess we can say that we are going to have a really competitive game between Barcelona and Manchester United and whoever wins this game will have an edge over winning the Europa league altogether.

Both teams are in the same graphic that is uphill, so the match should be balanced and everything can happen and the one who wins in the first meeting will be easier for the second match of the winning team only needs to make the match draw.
And they have another similarity, namely having a coach/manager who both had doubts about their ability to make the club return to the top. Ten Haag is experienced in the Eredivisee but not in the premier league and Xavi is experienced as a player but not as a coach so they both begin to answer doubts that exist before.

[Bobrox]

I think 35% for Manchester United is too low a percentage, because if this match is difficult to predict then of course the ratio is 50 : 50. Because if the ratio is 65-35% then it will be an easy prediction and the team that gets 65% becomes the favorite team, while Barcelona and Manchester United at this moment have a very good performance, I guess.
So yes, because competition in the Premier League is more difficult, I can't accept that Manchester United only has a 35% chance of winning. Because with Manchester United's current performance, I personally am quite sure Manchester United has a better chance of going further.

I don't think fair ration with 65% - 35% due both team have consistency and top performance currently at domestic league and Barcelona won Spanish Super Cup after beating Real Madrid on final. The same have quite well performance from Manchester United due crucial winning match from Manchester City.

Winning ratio based on home or away match for both team, Barcelona will be host for first leg and I sure ration winning between 55%-45% but could be 50:50 and both team have the same opportunity. Can't expected for both team have meet early at UEFA Europe League playoff round, between Barcelona or Manchester United have eliminated early and could be loss compete after one bigger team have loss at Europe League.

[W Jr.]

You are right. Barcelona and Manchester United were weak teams at the start of the season. They could not consistently perform well. But now their performance is excellent. Both teams are strong now. And their performance has changed a lot. And so it is difficult to predict which team will win the match of Barcelona Balaam United. Both teams have equal chances of winning.

Out of the 8 set of matches in the knockout round play-offs, obviously this one (Barcelona vs Manchester United) is the most exciting one. Less than a month remains for the first leg match (to be held in Camp Nou, Barcelona). I have my doubts regarding Barcelona. But their performance during the Supercopa de España cleared all those doubts. Yesterday they win against Real Madrid by a big margin. Robert Lewandowski, despite his age seems to be in good form. On the other hand, ManU are also in good form, as they are placed 4th in the EPL points table.

I agree.The performance of Barcelona in the Supercup was a real great one and it was against one of the best teams not only in La Liga but also in the world which is Real Madrid.Barcelona completely dominated the game and deserved to win the cup however this does not assure that they are going to qualify further against Manchester United,sure it has much higher chances but it is not a sure thing.It is not a sure thing because Manchester United lately is on fire in the Premier League even winning the last derby against Manchester City to continue their winning streak,so for me is 65-35%,65% for Barcelona and 35% for Manchester United to qualify further.

I think 35% for Manchester United is too low a percentage, because if this match is difficult to predict then of course the ratio is 50 : 50. Because if the ratio is 65-35% then it will be an easy prediction and the team that gets 65% becomes the favorite team, while Barcelona and Manchester United at this moment have a very good performance, I guess.
So yes, because competition in the Premier League is more difficult, I can't accept that Manchester United only has a 35% chance of winning. Because with Manchester United's current performance, I personally am quite sure Manchester United has a better chance of going further.

With the recent matches played by these two teams,which they both won their rivals. Manchester united team are on fire right now and will burn any team that comes close to them. The players have the desire and moral to win at all time,this will make it unpredicted on who will be the winner but Manchester united has 52% chance of winning the match. Barca are also strong team but not on this match,Ten Hag will make some substitutes when the game is tough and in no time the young players will do the magic.

We are not computers and our rate may not be very accurate under these conditions. There are many variables for football. In the first place, the physical and psychological state of the football player affects the match that will be played that day. We don't know as not everyone's condition is the same. In my opinion, the win rate of both teams is half. So both can win, both can lose. There will be a clash of great teams.

Both Barcelona and Manchester United are doing great recently. As you said the apex of it is Manchester United coming from 1 goal down to winning Manchester City. And in the other hand Barcelona convincingly defeated Real Madrid.
The Manchester United vs Barcelona Europa League fixture is the one many people are looking upto. I will rather believe Manchester United over Barcelona because Barcelona was here last season but did nothing

you guys are talking as if the match is this week Thursday, both team winning their rivalries in last  weekend games, will not determined the outcome of the game. Because the match is still very far, but if both team maintain this form till the match day. Then expect an interesting game ahead, but I'll give Manchester United a straight winning over Barcelona too.  I trust Manchester United in this game they will shock Barcelona and proceed to the next stage.

[rahmad2nd]

Barcelona is not only Lewandowski, but Pedri and Gavi are two players who are also dangerous. Besides Dembele and the others also have a big contribution to the team, so the task of the Manchester United defender may be difficult. In the same way, Manchester United has excelled in speed and brilliant form recently. But things could be different in the upcoming match.

The Barcelona team is still not completely stable. However, they are not dependent on any particular player. Although Lewandowski is a very experienced star player, Barcelona is not completely dependent on Lewandowski to score. Pedri, Gavi, Dembele and De Jong all performed well. And so it will be difficult for Manchester United to resist Barcelona's attack. Moreover, Manchester United's defense is still not strong enough.

IMO, Manchester United's defense is pretty solid at the moment and they're pretty disciplined. let's compare, in the last seven matches in all competitions. MU, only get three goals conceded. With this result, it seems United's defense is getting more disciplined. also, the pattern of play that Ten Hag applies has a quick scheme from transition to transition. it's just that, the problem now is that Manchester United need a newcomer for the midfield position. that way, the pattern of play of The Red Devils will be even more established. next season I'm sure Ten Hag will bring in the players he wants with his style of play.

On the other hand, Barcelona has not shown stable performance. but when referring to the match vs Real madrid yesterday, Barcelona played very beautifully and the transition from player to player showed big changes. in particular, the formation that Xavi employs with the two Pivots that help Gavi and Predi. Plus, Dembele. De Jong's role in yesterday's match was completely in tune with Busquets. if, Xavi maintains patterns and schemes like this. I'm pretty sure Man United will have a hard time facing Barcelona in the playoffs later. related to the result, this match still has a time lag and let's just see how these two teams carry out their matches in the domestic league.

At least barcelona has been doing some improvements. It can be seen from the result against real madrid. Gavi and pedri have been performing so well against real madrid. They were delightful combinations right now. Barcelona is not depend with lewandowski anymore. This is a very good improvement for barcelona caused by any players can make the goals. Barcelona has been evolving into the new team that full with young talented players now. that's quite different with madrid that has some old players left in the club. madrid needs to make fast move for barcelona. that will be very important for sure.

With the recent matches played by these two teams,which they both won their rivals. Manchester united team are on fire right now and will burn any team that comes close to them. The players have the desire and moral to win at all time,this will make it unpredicted on who will be the winner but Manchester united has 52% chance of winning the match. Barca are also strong team but not on this match,Ten Hag will make some substitutes when the game is tough and in no time the young players will do the magic.

Why did you immediately make the percentage of winning chances for Manchester United? Meanwhile, the strength almost looks the same for both of them this season. If Manchester United and Barcelona have both found their best form this season, I think their matches in the Europa League will be very interesting and the audience will also be very excited to see their matches and meetings in the Europa League, of course many people are waiting for this this season.

The good news is that they are in the best condition by continuing to show improvement in their matches. It's going to be a very interesting game in this Europa League, there's no mistake about it. Many people regretted why they had to meet in this round because they thought they deserved to meet in a higher round, at least in the semifinals. But the draw shows they have to meet now, so it's better to enjoy the encounter even though this is just the play-off round.
I can't say who will win this match, because in my opinion both teams have the same chance to win and get rid of their opponents in this round.

Quite alright they're good, I saw how they both dismantled Real Madrid last few day during the Super Cup games but have you matched those young lads with experienced players ( Midfielder's ) like Casemiro, Bruno Fernandez, Erikson, and the rejuvenated Fred who was key to caging De Bruyne during the game at Old Trafford some days back.

Same happening at the World Cup will be repeated against Manchester United, I'm not judging the attackers both ( Lewandoski and Dembele) but that midfield is just too blunt to hurt Manchester United. I'll give a Manchester United to qualify though especially when I bet

It is this same opportunity that makes the possibility of a match even more interesting, because both of them will attack each other and try to win in the play-off round. And I think this season's Europa League will be much more interesting than last season even though the strong teams met earlier, but some other matches will also be no less interesting like Roma vs FC Salzburg.

Attacking each other, that's what I expect from their play in this match, because if there is only one team holding back and waiting for this match it will be monotonous in my opinion. Open games will usually make matches very interesting to watch. In addition, Manchester United now has several names up front who are performing well and are ready to dismantle Barcelona's defense. The tactical battle will be a spectacle that will be presented by the two coaches.

If I consider the performance of the team with the players that these two teams have, they are equally great, but if I consider the quality of their coaches then of course I will choose Erik ten Hag. Therefore, for this match at least I am also quite sure that Manchester United might be able to qualify for the next round.
Indeed, Barcelona managed to beat Real Madrid but in my view, when Xavi makes a strategy for matches to be played outside of Spain whether it's for matches in the Champions League and also in the Europa League. So I think Xavi is still not all that great and for that reason, at least I have my own assessment of why I chose Manchester United to win this match.

[Zackgeno96]

If Barcelona plays the same way against United in the match against Madrid, then United will have a very difficult time. Both teams seem to be doing well. Perhaps this will be the most anticipated match, perhaps even more than the PSG - Munich match in the CL. But Barcelona will have to become consistent. United have a great coach at the moment, his results speak for themselves and he will also come up with a brilliant battle plan in the game against Barcelona. In Barcelona and United, they both expect to continue. The last 3 matches between Man United and Barcelona were all 3 won by Barcelona, but the last match was in 2019. Difficult to compare. In addition, played Messi and Iniesta? then also with Barcelona.

In my opinion, Barcelona did not show anything special in the game with Real - in the first half, I would even say that Real had more moments of domination, but the conversion of chances and successful counterattacks in this game turned out to be on the side of Barcelona. After 2-0 the game was done, but note that the second half of the game was technically tied 1-1.
Let's say that Barcelona will play just as well against United, but it may turn out that United will score first and the game will go according to a different scenario.

[bitgolden]

Their young players are definitely showing up, and their veterans are not playing that badly neither but that's only important for now, young ones are important for their future as well. Xavi is building a team that could be similar to what they had in 2009, not going to achieve as much of course, but the system in mind will be similar and could work well enough.

They are passing much better which he was known for, and if they could keep this going then a title at La Liga is the lowest achievement they will have. They could grow from here and build a team with less financial burden to actually win an UCL, it will take a few years but it's possible.

Surely I have been feeling your review is good and having faith in Manchester United for the win in this match is also not bad at all because after the win against Manchester City they are having good boost in confidence for the next big games and things are also in their favour with coach Ten Haq having good command in game which is helping him for giving the best result now they are going to face few challenges which will give them good experience for the future and if they are able to have positive results from these challenges then surely they will be able to stay in touch for the future wins because now their mentality is also changed, and they are playing fearless soccer which will give them benefit for the win trophies.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I wonder how successful run Roma will have in the Europa League. As you know they are the newest Conference League champions. They might want to do this again this time in the Europa League. But this tournament is much more difficult than that. Especially in this year and in this stage there are really challenging teams. It is like the quality of the tournament is a little closer to the Champions League.

I think Roma will eliminate Salzburg but it is hard to tell anything about next stages. One of the favourites is going to be eliminated after Barcelona vs Manchester United matchup ends which is a good thing for Roma of course. They aren't doing very well in the Serie A so they had better do their best for the Europa League title.

Well, I think that Roma have a very good opportunity in this Europa League, some matches that have taken place for Moyu have been to prove what level the players are at, however, we must take advantage of the good moment that Dybala has now, he is a player who needs to have a lot of prominence, in addition, the good thing about Mou is that he always seeks balance and makes his players go up in level, the best thing about Mou is that for big competitions he grows, and makes his players start to perform in a great way, I can say that because at Real Madrid it was like that, we shouldn't be surprised if Roma did the same.

With the recent matches played by these two teams,which they both won their rivals. Manchester united team are on fire right now and will burn any team that comes close to them. The players have the desire and moral to win at all time,this will make it unpredicted on who will be the winner but Manchester united has 52% chance of winning the match.

I can't say who will win this match, because in my opinion both teams have the same chance to win and get rid of their opponents in this round.

Honestly, when there are two teams that are at their best, that's when I enjoy a football game the most, because when there is one that has weaknesses and they have manifested themselves, it is obvious that people will say that they are going to the other team since there are obvious problems in that one. However, I think that every time a team like Barcelona at its peak and Man United at its peak can appreciate everything they can achieve without any excuses, this is something that makes me cringe, although I don't I can deny that on this occasion I would like to see Barcelona win, Man United may be having a good run, but I don't like the way things are sometimes handled, especially due to their technical direction.

a curiosity about Man United:

Man United player set for Old Trafford exit after featuring in match for EFL side

According to Alan Nixon, the full back appeared in a match against Mansfield Town ahead of a potential move to Oakwell.

Barnsley are interested in signing the Manchester United academy graduate, who has been unable to make a breakthrough into the first team at Old Trafford.

The Europa league will always been a lower competition, no matter the teams that are playing in it, i'm sorry this game can't be anticipated than any match in the champions league round of 16. Barcelona and United are not even going to play at a level they would have played if this game was in the champions league. I believe United are going to win, they started the season in the Europa league, so i can say they are now used to it, but barcelona may still be disappointed that they were eliminated from the champions league group stage, so the disappointment may still be in their mind. Barcelona also have a big chance to win the La Liga, so that is where most of their focus will be in.
