UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[rendravolt]

We still don't know exactly how much the odds, when look at stake, Barcelona have 1.75 while MU have 4.30 and the chance of draw is 4.30. Maybe this still temporary result until next month begins. But, we know in home, Barcelona is a club which is not easy to beat, MU performance is far away from expected, especially Antony which have a gap different like he played on Ajax

We probably won't see a big difference in the odds when the game starts playing, like you said Barcelona playing at home is a team that is not easy to beat and this gives them an advantage in this first leg, if United can make this first leg match draw then the opportunity will be theirs, but it will be a tough job in the match later

I think this match will be quite fierce, considering that both teams performed quite well in their respective leagues. Moreover, Barcelona's winning trend is still slightly above Manchester United, but it's not certain later whether Erik ten Hag will try a new strategy against Barcelona later. Even so, at least Barcelona must win the first leg at home, so that their steps will be easier if they later play the second leg away at Old Trafford. So I prefer small odds for Barcelona.

It is clear that Manchester United is much better now and many developments occurred when Ronaldo left, considering that the Arsenal vs Manchester United match should have ended in a draw. But unfortunately Nketiah added a goal at the end of time which made Manchester United narrowly lose, and I think Manchester United's game at the moment is very cool.

and Barcelona's meeting with Manchester United will be a very interesting match because both of them have progress in their game, and in my opinion the end result is a draw.

Manchester United played very well even though the match ended in defeat, Manchester United conceded in the last minute which made them go home empty handed.
The conditions of Manchester United and Barcelona are both in the best form in their respective leagues, this game is one of the most awaited by football fans. The battle between these two teams will be played at a high tempo, Manchester United must find the right strategy to break into Barcelona defense which is very strong this season. Barcelona only conceded 6 goals from 17 games played in La Liga, Barcelona solid defense made Ten Hag have to find a gap to score in this match.

The fact that Manchester United are going to the right direction playing the kind of football the fans wants to see and winning games.
That alone show's they are headed to a positive direction with Erik Ten Hag, his sole aim is to construct a great team in the Premier League, Europe and all over the world.
Manchester United loosing to Arsenal got me gutted no lies about it, but going back to see how much of the improvement, I feel very happy.

All that need done is to get funded by the owners so they can get quality players ready to represent the badge. I hope the glazers finally sells the club. Manchester United has good midfielder's qualified and quality enough to brey the defense of Barcelona.

There will definitely be a change in odds as the match approaches; I guess this will be the prediction odd before Manchester United picks form because right now there isn't much difference in their squad with Barcelona, they are both in form and in a good position to play well at home, so I expect a lot of surprises in that match, because I don't see Manchester United losing to Barcelona in the game both home and away.

[skarais]

As I recall, Barcelona also failed in the Europa League last season, even though the chances are almost the same as this season and I think you know who won the Europa League title last season. If Barcelona is strong enough this season Barcelona should not be in the Europa League but in a competition that is greater than the Europa League.

It doesn't matter how weak Barcelona is this season in your opinion, but this season's competition for Barcelona in the Champions League is much fiercer than any other Spanish team except Sevilla. Bayern Munich and Inter are the two teams that Barcelona have found difficult to beat in the group stages, but that also does not prove that Barcelona are no better than last season even though in the end the Europa League is the only hope left for Barcelona on the European stage this season.

I think it's ridiculous to continue to assume that Barcelona's failure in the Champions League this season is because they are not better than the previous season. You have to consider several things, including Barcelona's financial situation and squad depth. But it's up to you, you are free to give your opinion about any situation for Barcelona.

[lizarder]

Exactly, this is what makes me a little doubtful of Xavi. because so far the strategy has only been proven in La Liga. We look at the results of Barcelona's match in the UCL, he was only able to win against Viktoria Plzen. Even though MU is in inconsistent performance, if Xavi's strategy is limited to the La-Liga level, there is still a chance for MU to beat them. Luckily, in this match Barcelona have advantages because Ronaldo isn't in MU squad anymore. 

Both teams are currently in good form in my opinion, Barcelona managed to rank first in La Liga, while Manchester United is growing and becoming more consistent until the second half of the season, even though they last lost to Arsenal. However, if you look at the teams that often win the Europa League, both of them are not strong candidates, so it is difficult to predict the champions. The only first leg advantage is due to playing at Camp Nou, so Barcelona's chances are bigger than Manchester United.

Head to head is also still quite superior to Barcelona compared to Manchester United for now, although the final result is also not determined by these two factors, while the quality of coach Erik Ten Hak is superior to Xavi based on their previous achievements. In my opinion, many factors are taken into consideration by the two teams and who will qualify for the next round.

Barca playing at home first it quite a good advantage for them. Barca performance is unique and they are topping their league,they have mostly won MU in their home. Lewandonski is a wonderful striker which makes might break into MU defence.

MU has been in good form and the qualities of the players are increasing day and the team has a good defence,which makes this match unpredictable yet until on the match day,when these two clubs will be on the field playing.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Manchester United form in the Europa league  have been at top level,  they have only lost one and won 5 games. The playoff fixture against Barcelona will be test of their consistency level because it looks like they are finally finding the balance under Ten Hag's management. Manchester United perform better against top teams and Barcelona will be no different from others but it is a 50/50 game and anyone could win.

United has been starting to be even more mature. The new united under ten hag has become a new form of united which has been fulfilled by so many young talented players. it can be considered as the most difficult match for MU. Barcelona has a very good result in h2h against MU. this is the time for MU to break such rumour if MU was an easy opponent for barcelona. this gonna be death battle for both. I think that i will pick MU in this case seeing from the impressive performance in EPL.
MU is also having good performance during the group qualified in europa league too. MU is so underrated at this moment.

I think Manchester United are experiencing the Ten Hag effect, I will clearly agree that Erik Ten Hag has impacted positively to the team with his disciplinary measures, his tactics and style of play is now proving productive which we can obviously see on the team's outstanding performance lately, the most surprising part of it for me is how well he has transformed Marcus Rashford to be more lethal in front of goal.

Suprisingly the decision that already made by ten hag by terminating ronaldo was giving a good impact to the club especially rashford. It's caused by the team was fully developing rashford now. I do like how dicipline he was. Ten hag was even limiting the salary that can be received by players. It's not only rashford but ten hag has ben transforming the whole player in the team to be a new team that can work together. that's why the chemistry from any players are so good now. It's caused by that. I hope that MU can also win at least one trophy this season.

Although I will never in my life accept that Ten Hag is a good technician, he could not deny that they have had good results, what was done to CR7 I know something that I still cannot assimilate, however I am aware that they have beaten in a great way a Man City that I think is much better in everything, the truth is that this has been a great surprise, when it appears the surprises were not only in the World Cup in Qatar, but also in the PL, it seems strange to me that on this occasion the great failed Pep Guardiola, this is something that surprises me, but we also know that not everyone is perfect, Pep is also human and Haaland personally did absolutely nothing, he was lost on the pitch, he always had to find a way to get more I play, to kick more, even if 23 or 3 players reach him, he has the strength and technique to take them off and throw the team on his shoulder, I think he was very disappointed.

In fact, to predict whether this match will have many or few goals, I think it's still difficult to predict. Therefore, at least we still need the matches before this match is played to be able to determine which betting option we will choose.

We still don't know exactly how much the odds, when look at stake, Barcelona have 1.75 while MU have 4.30 and the chance of draw is 4.30. Maybe this still temporary result until next month begins. But, we know in home, Barcelona is a club which is not easy to beat, MU performance is far away from expected, especially Antony which have a gap different like he played on Ajax

MU's odd is very big. it seems like that bookies consider how bad the history of mu when it was playing at camp nou. Barcelona has found its new form eith so many young players. I think that even betting on mu will be quite interesting to risk our money. MU's odd looks worthy enough if mu may able to beat barcelona. i think this gonna be a very interesting thing rk see that how mu will able to beat barcelona at its home. MU has a horrible head to head against barcelona in camp nou. winning with small score is more than enough for mu as long as it can win the game.The performance from new striker of mu is still far from good.

I think the same, I think that everyone is going to Mu in these moments because of the good run that is going on, but something must be highlighted, if there is a team that stands out when it comes to good championships it is Barcelona, we already saw how they He took the Super Cup of Spain from Real Madrid, and he took it away with his best players on the field, there are no excuses anymore that if one was injured or something, the best were there, those of the headline, so that despite the fact that they were not I'm a Barcelona fan, I accept when a team does very well, because it didn't give Madrid a chance, so it may be that Man United could fall into that trap.

Barcelona are set to take on Real Sociedad in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night, with arguably the two most in-form teams in Spain going head-to-head.

Xavi Hernandez was of the same mind, as he prepares his team to face a La Real side looking for their tenth win a row.

“It will be a great game. Both teams arrive in a good moment of form. Real Sociedad are a great team, well-prepared by Imanol Alguacil.”

Sport carried his comments and if there is one doubt about this La Real side, it is their mounting injuries. The Txuri-Urdin are set to be missing seven players for the match, while Xavi can call on his full squad.

He went on to praise La Real and his opposite number Alguacil, who Xavi claimed was a reference point.

Honestly, they were playing against the leader of the league and they lost by the last minute goal, I would say that's a big improvement for them as it is. The fact that they are in UCL spot right now and look like possibly the third team by the end of the season (fighting with Newcastle for that spot) is the answer to everyone's question about Ronaldo.

He was a great player but he wasn't in their game plan and as soon as he left (and a bit before that) they started to win and be better because they didn't had to put a player in where he doesn't belong. This doesn't make him bad, he just wasn't in their plans for the season and that's it. You wait and see, next year United will be even better.

I know the strength has been revived, agility is boosted, and everyone is ready to give his best. But all I know is, Even as Successful as Manchester United seems to be, with Erikson and Casemiro on the bench or long-term injuries, the whole team will be affected. Where I am driving at is that Ronaldo will still fit into Ten Hag'a game plan and will be productive at Manchester united. The only problem when he was around was because of a Dm and Cmd, and casemiro and Erikson were yet to discover themselves.

Ronaldo was old story and we must move on from him. Ronaldo got lots of money from al nassr. We shall focus to the upcoming match rather than mentioning him again. Casemiro will be the only one who can prevent Lewandowski.
Bookies didn't trust manchester united in an upcoming match. Barcelona is much preferable compared to manchester united. a bit difficult to pick one from both but MU is also potentially winning against Barcelona.
I hope that rashford will be on fire against Barcelona. His duel against barcelona's winger will be a good one.

Manchester United's relationship with Ronaldo has ended. So I'd say it's better not to discuss it.

Both Barcelona and Manchester United are playing well. Both Barcelona and Manchester United won yesterday's match. And both the teams were able to dominate and win. So it becomes more difficult for me to predict which team will win.

Lewandowski and Dembele have been performing consistently well. And Barcelona's main strength is their midfield. Barcelona's performances are now very stable due to the consistently good performances of the midfielders. But their defense is still weak. I would say, if against Manchester United, Barcelona's defenders can play well, then Barcelona has a chance to win.

@Minor Miner I have said this before too and I’ll repeat that I’m pretty sure that Barcelona doesn’t care about winning the Europa League, because they’re genuinely close to winning the La Liga title hence it doesn’t make any sense for them to prioritise playing on Thursday night. Furthermore Manchester United can unlock their defence because of the pace of Rashford and he’s in phenomenal form, hence I’m 100% sure that Manchester United shall win against Barcelona and progress ahead.

I can't agree that Barcelona doesn't care about winning the Europa League title. Because Xavi's career as a coach has just begun. However, Xavi's main goal now is to stabilize and strengthen the Barcelona team. And for this, he spent a lot of money to recruit star players. But at the same time, he will also wants to win the title. The Europa League title may not matter much to the Barcelona club. But it is important for Xavi's coaching career. And so I think Xavi will now prepare his squad to win both the La Liga and Europa League titles.

Of course, I think that's an assumption that actually doesn't make sense.
Meanwhile Barcelona is also fighting for another title where they have just qualified for the semi-finals of the Copa Del Rey after winning the match against Real Sociedad. So Barcelona really shouldn't ignore any opportunities as long as they still have the possibility of winning the title, let alone the Europa League title.

The Europa League title means more to Barcelona and Xavi after they failed to qualify for the Champions League. So I never thought that Xavi and Barcelona would ignore and underestimate him even if the Europa League is not bigger than the Champions League. Xavi seems very enthusiastic about the possibility of the Europa League in his cupboard this season, so I think he will be 100% there this season.

On several occasions, Xavi said that Barcelona is serious about targeting this competition trophy. even one of their strikers, Lewandowski, once said that he and his colleagues had the ambition to win the Europa League trophy. so it's clear that Xavi really cares about this competition trophy besides prioritizing winning the La Liga trophy.
I can't predict what will happen in the match between Barcelona vs Manchester United. because after all, this fight is a crucial match for both teams. plus, their coaches will compete tactics and strategies.

IMO from my point of view both coaches will focus on the midfield battle. why, because Barcelona have an advantage in their midfield over Manchester United. just relying on Casemiro, that's not enough, Ten Hag needs a tactic to counter the midfielder that Barcelona has.
This fight is a tactical war game. and if Xavi applies his formation like the El Clasico match, by relying on two Pivots and two attacking midfielders plus Dembele and placing Lewandowski as the sole striker. I'm pretty sure Man United will have a hard time facing Barcelona. however, we will find out later after this bout has taken place.

[KupaCrypto]

Manchester United Vs Barcelona match will be a though one because both teams are in great form..any mistake from both teams will prove so Vital in deciding who goes through to the next stage.
It's going to be an interesting match with alot of goals to be scored because both teams actually knows how to score goals, they are both offensive teams
 Defensively Manchester United and Barcelona will concede goals as both side don't have a solid defence.

Seriously, have you seen Barcelona's stats in Laliga?
They are one of the teams with the fewest goals conceded this season. If I'm not mistaken in Barcelona's 17 matches in Laliga, they only conceded 6 goals

I'm pretty sure the Barcelona and Manchester United matches in the Europa League will focus on minimize goals conceded by each team.

Don't be surprised that La liga and EPL is a different leagues, with different clubs involved, and different playing patterns. I wouldn't be too fast to quest that the match will end with few goals just because it involves two top team's in Europe. Both Barcelona and Manchester United are good scoring sides and with hungry attackers who are eager to score.  depending on their game plan, will be as many as possible goals record in that match.

It's going to be an interesting match with alot of goals to be scored because both teams actually knows how to score goals, they are both offensive teams
 Defensively Manchester United and Barcelona will concede goals as both side don't have a solid defence.

Seriously, have you seen Barcelona's stats in Laliga?
They are one of the teams with the fewest goals conceded this season. If I'm not mistaken in Barcelona's 17 matches in Laliga, they only conceded 6 goals

I'm pretty sure the Barcelona and Manchester United matches in the Europa League will focus on minimize goals conceded by each team.

This they will really pay attention to, before they go on the attack to score goals, they will first pay attention to their defense. Because defense will be very crucial for both teams, they may just dominate the game, but if their defense can concede with one attack launched by the opponent it will be difficult for themselves. Barcelona in La Liga is the most difficult team to beat against, that's true. But it will be different in the Europa League.

The Europa League title means more to Barcelona and Xavi after they failed to qualify for the Champions League. So I never thought that Xavi and Barcelona would ignore and underestimate him even if the Europa League is not bigger than the Champions League. Xavi seems very enthusiastic about the possibility of the Europa League in his cupboard this season, so I think he will be 100% there this season.

Barcelona players are now more confident than ever, after making sure to reach the semifinal of the Copa Del Rey and still being in first position in La Liga does not make Barcelona ignore and underestimate the Europa League title. Xavi will try to make Barcelona full of trophies this season, the squad he currently has is very well established and the connections between players are very good.
Barcelona must overcome obstacles from Manchester United to go further in the Europa League, Barcelona has prepared well ahead of this Big Match match. Xavi already has the best defenders who make Barcelona defense line stronger than before, the presence of Kounde, Araujo, Christensen and Balde makes it very difficult for opposing strikers to score goals.
