UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

I also hope this match goes to extra time and ends in a penalty shootout, this will be more exciting than having to end in 90 minutes of normal time.

then it needs to get to the second leg. because in the first leg, both will perform as much as possible to get the advantage. both are up to this point being his game. especially United who now perform quite better. we expect a lot from United's performance to provide resistance to Barcelona. however, the results in the first leg will greatly affect how it goes in the second leg. especially in terms of strategy and the mentality of players.

The match between these two teams might not be an easy match but amongst the two Barcelona is the most favourite to winning the game, except for some surprises that comes with football.

That game is going to be a very interesting match to watch , Barcelona are  topping the Spanish league right now, and they are playing  very well at the moment, they are always good in possession and they have the most prolific number 9 at the moment which is Robert Lewandowski, while Manchester United at the moment and still developing they are like under dog to Barcelona at the moment but football anything is possible, now that one of their key player is now injured, the likes of Christian Erikson, is going to be another set back for them. But lets watch and see. Like i said before the game is going be a very interesting game to look out for.

I consider it insulting to say that Manchester United are like Underdog's to Barcelona.
So far since Erik Ten Hag took over the club is directness and discipline attitudes has helped raised the standards at Manchester United and helped with the winning attitudes also during big games we have also seen.
Even if both sides are Improving, you should not make conclusion that tje game will be won by Manchester United or Barcelona.
Good Lewandoski will ne back because they will be without Dembele and Manchester United without Eriksen.

Am not looking this two teams less, anything victory can come from any of the two teams. I know Manchester United is very strong to challenge Barcelona,  so as Barcelona is strong enough too to challenge Manchester united. We should use the current state of this two teams to analyse how this game will be. The game will be very tough and the two teams will struggle to score each other.  I don't think one team is more superior than the other.

Manchester United hasn't lose for a very long time apart from Losing Against Arsenal, likewise FC Barcelona. The two side are currently on a very good form. But a proper highlight of the squad possessed by each team I quest fC Barcelona is quite better base on individual abilities, though Manchester United possess a greater team spirit. If I am to place a bet on this I will bet on Fc Barcelona to win because they have an advantage cuz they will be the one to host first.

I also personally think that Barcelona is far ahead of Manchester United in terms of current performance. Barcelona coach Xavi is currently reaping the benefits of his hard work.

The assessment of each person for these two teams is indeed different and that cannot be denied. Because both are big teams in different leagues and obviously have a lot of fans, it is normal for these two teams to have a different assessment. Because Barcelona is also still possible to be defeated by Manchester United in the play-off round match and vice versa. So I personally find it a bit difficult to predict who will be the best among them. Especially in the Europa League play-offs.

So far Barcelona is doing well better as they should with the arrival of the date of the clash between premier league side Manchester United. Barcelona shouldn't be taken so highly even if thru have won some of those game lately, it is wrong to think that Manchester United can't hurt Barcelona when it comes to that game. In the area of midfielder's, that's the are Manchester United will definitely use while trying to win that game, once Barcelona's midfielder's can not connect with the attackers the game would be won because they don't have the quality Man United has in midfied.

First match is going to play after two weeks at Red Bull ARENA even AS Roma is superior in quality and performance, but surely this is not going to be easy game for them because Salzburg is having good time in Champions League, and they play draw against Chelsea and won against the Zagreb in their Champions League group matches which give them chance to have spot into UEFA Europa Cup

Salzburg is like a good opponent for AS Roma. They are not too strong and Roma are able to beat Salzburg but if Salzburg could have a draw against Chelsea that is a bigger club than Roma, they can do the same or better against AS Roma.

Roma probably sacrificed Coppa Italia to focus more on Europa League and Serie A so they will be able to use best players they have to play against Salzburg. To beat Salzburg, they will need full fitness from Dybala and Pellegrini who both got problems recent weeks with their fitness and were not actually ready for full matches.

What you were saying was true. MU has very bad record against Barcelona. MU was so difficult to beat Barcelona.

In the past twenty years, Barcelona are stronger than Manchester United so it makes sense to see their face to face result is better for Barcelona. In this season, they look to have similar quality but Barcelona are still a little bit better than Manchester United. Again maybe Barcelona will beat Manchester United and become a winner after two matches.

I also personally think that Barcelona is far ahead of Manchester United in terms of current performance. Barcelona coach Xavi is currently reaping the benefits of his hard work.

That's in Laliga, it's no wonder to see their achievements considering that Laliga is one of Barcelona's ambitions this season. However, the situation is different because at first Barcelona was optimistic that they could survive in the UCL but in reality they had to be eliminated in the Europa League. I can't talk much about Barcelona in the Europa League because they haven't even played to make reference to Barcelona's performance in the Europa League

The chance is always there. People should remember when Frankfurt was making Barcelona go out of europa league. Barcelona is indeed having very good head to head against MU. that's why bookies were giving small odds as MU is not a favorite team in the upcoming match on europa league.
The match will come very soon and I'm just seeing some changes gonna happen with MU like sabitzer who will be joined in the club as a temporary replacement for Christian eriksen who already faced injury.
I hope that rashford will be making a goal against Barcelona. His contribution is really needed by MU to defeat Barcelona.

[slapper]

Between barcelona and manchester united they are the two best teams in the europa league to be precise if it is said in more detail their match is a big match that will take place in the europa league. one of the teams must go home in this round both barcelona and manchester united they will work hard in this match to qualify for the next round.

both teams performed well in their respective leagues and they had coaches who were good enough to polish the squad to become stronger like what erik has done so far where he has done quite well in the domestic league by bringing Manchester United into the top 4.

If you look at the number of meetings between the two on the European stage, Barcelona are still quite ahead of Manchester United, but for the Europa League this is the first meeting for the two, after changing coaches and players in their respective teams. Head to head is not really a problem in my opinion, because the era of the two is very different and if I'm not mistaken Xavi Hernandez and Erik Ten Hak are also facing each other in a big game like this for the first time. Surely one of them would have been eliminated after the home and away games.

Of course it won't be easy for Manchester United to win at Camp Nou, but if they play consistently like in the Premier League, FA and EFL, then a draw will make it easier for them to play at Old Trafford. Erik Ten Hak should take advantage of this opportunity even though it looks difficult, because Barcelona is also in impressive form at the moment.

I totally agree with you. Barcelona and Manchester United have a rich history of playing each other on the European stage and it's interesting to see how their recent form stacks up. The change in coaches and players has definitely brought a new dynamic to this match up and it will be interesting to see how Xavi and Ten Hak's tactics play out against each other.

And you're right, the head-to-head record shouldn't be the only deciding factor in this game. Both teams have been playing well lately and it will come down to who shows up on the day and executes their game plan better. A draw at Camp Nou would definitely give Manchester United a boost heading into the second leg at Old Trafford.

It's always exciting to see two top teams battle it out, especially when they have so much history. It is really great to see who comes out on top in this match, though there are still 15 days to go

Exactly right, Manchester United currently in the premier league in a good performance too, I think both have a smart coach. Even the premier league is more competitive rather than La Liga, I mean many a much stronger big club at there, so both of them still have a chance to qualify for the next round. But I personally will favorited Barcelona, in head to head they are ahead with 5 wins meanwhile Manchester United has 1 win.

[Bobrox]

So far Barcelona is doing well better as they should with the arrival of the date of the clash between premier league side Manchester United. Barcelona shouldn't be taken so highly even if thru have won some of those game lately, it is wrong to think that Manchester United can't hurt Barcelona when it comes to that game. In the area of midfielder's, that's the are Manchester United will definitely use while trying to win that game, once Barcelona's midfielder's can not connect with the attackers the game would be won because they don't have the quality Man United has in midfied.

Barcelona have won last 6 matches in a row all competition between La Liga, Super Spanish Cup Final until won at Copa Del Rey, not doubt with Barcelona consistency performance in this season and success managed La Liga standing behind 5 points left from Real Madrid. Looking consistency performance in domestic league seems Barcelona is favorite team winning in UEFA Europe League playoff round against Manchester United.

Right now Manchester United have solid player in midfielder after new signing Marcel Sabitzer from Bayern Munich with loan option, but Barcelona have bad news without any new player signing and they have losing Dembele three weeks later after injuring.

[RealMalatesta]

I think eras have changed and in this era of Erik ten Hag I'm sure Manchester United will be able to play well, even though Barcelona might eventually win but this match will still be interesting to look forward to. Also, regarding the players or squad that Barcelona have, basically they already have players who have good quality, so even if one key player is injured and or cannot be played, of course Xavi will be able to use other strategies by adjusting the available players.

So yes, this match will of course still be interesting but one thing I still believe in, it looks like Erik ten Hag will be able to make the right strategy in this match to make Manchester United qualify for the next round.

He could definitely become the next manager of United that could go on for a long time, I know that it is not going to be easy and it is going to take a while before he could be considered that level yet, but I think Erik Tan Hag has that potential to be a great manager that can stay for at least 5 years.

He is not at a level of Sir Alex Ferguson obviously, maybe he could be in the future, but he has been around just half a year, but he has shown a lot more promise than Ole at least, and Ole stayed for a long time too, which means that if he is given the same amount of transfer budget, that dude could be better and stay for 5+ years, giving them maybe even a title along the way.

[Alisha-k]

Right now Manchester United have solid player in midfielder after new signing Marcel Sabitzer from Bayern Munich with loan option, but Barcelona have bad news without any new player signing and they have losing Dembele three weeks later after injuring.

The absence of Dembele will be the beginning of the sluggish attack. Marcel Sabitzer will surely make great impact against Barcelona. News have it that he is set to play against their clash with crystal Palace. Manchester United might be more prepared for this meeting than Barcelona.

[lizarder]

A draw at Camp Nou would definitely give Manchester United a boost heading into the second leg at Old Trafford.

If you pay attention at the beginning of the season, these two teams did disappoint, but slowly they have shown their best quality. So far Barcelona has secured one trophy this season, while Manchester United are also getting closer to the EFL champions, there is not much difference in quality between Manchester United and Barcelona at the moment. So it is still quite difficult to make predictions, especially the matches that will take place home - away.

Two weeks into the match and both coaches should have found a strategy pattern in playing and also analyzed the deficiencies that they have to fix, in Manchester United's defense there are still problems while Barcelona is also experiencing the same thing and lastly in my opinion the strategy will affect the outcome of the match.

[terrorJR]

I also hope this match goes to extra time and ends in a penalty shootout, this will be more exciting than having to end in 90 minutes of normal time.

They have a strategy now whether to hit straight away in the first leg or wait for the second leg later but in this condition maybe apart from the first or second leg I think the condition of playing home is the most important because when they can make good use of it then I think the result will be good.

[BitcoinAccepted]

Both teams will be very keen to qualify for the next round. It takes some getting used to playing in the EL, since both normally always play in the CL. From a European perspective, both have not won anything for a while. United won the EL a few years ago, less prestigious than the CL but a prize is a prize. Ajax has also made a mess of it together with PSV at the moment, they could very well be eliminated in the next round. Union Berlin is 2nd in the Bundesliga and may be stronger than we think.

[Pokapoka124]

I think eras have changed and in this era of Erik ten Hag I'm sure Manchester United will be able to play well, even though Barcelona might eventually win but this match will still be interesting to look forward to. Also, regarding the players or squad that Barcelona have, basically they already have players who have good quality, so even if one key player is injured and or cannot be played, of course Xavi will be able to use other strategies by adjusting the available players.

So yes, this match will of course still be interesting but one thing I still believe in, it looks like Erik ten Hag will be able to make the right strategy in this match to make Manchester United qualify for the next round.

Erik Ten Hag is showing good signs of a better future for the club. He has made quite an impact in the team and the players now understand the task and objectives of the manager and are showing this character on and off the pitch. Manchester United are playing much better football and will certainly give Barcelona a tough one to contend with when they go head to head in the Europa league play offs.

So I personally find it a bit difficult to predict who will be the best among them. Especially in the Europa League play-offs.

I think fans of these two teams are looking the teams differently as if one is better than one when it comes to performance.  These two teams are doing well, just that for a longtime now Barcelona and Manchester United have not meet and people just feel one is stronger than the other,  atleast by the end of the match we can all see the performance of this teams and give accurate analysis from what has been seen from their performance.

[savetheFORUM]

Am not looking this two teams less, anything victory can come from any of the two teams. I know Manchester United is very strong to challenge Barcelona,  so as Barcelona is strong enough too to challenge Manchester united. We should use the current state of this two teams to analyse how this game will be. The game will be very tough and the two teams will struggle to score each other.  I don't think one team is more superior than the other.

I really hope that both teams can field their best squad when this big match starts. The conditions of the two teams shown in their respective leagues make it very difficult for football fans to predict the outcome of this match. Barcelona or Manchester United could have won if one of them couldn't give his best performance.
I also hope this match goes to extra time and ends in a penalty shootout, this will be more exciting than having to end in 90 minutes of normal time.

With the current form and their results in their respective leagues most chances both teams will be played with their full strength and fans will be able to watch one of the best match in UEFA Europa Cup because both have rich history in soccer and UEFA and both will give their best for their next round chance Barcelona is already won Spanish Super Cup and now looking for some more trophies which bring good days back and Manchester United is also having spot into EFL Cup and now their eyes are on to have top four spot in English Premier League and their hopes are also high for this cup as well with prediction is never been easy and things are interesting for the fans around the world for this match just few days left and all will on.

Reasonable reasoning, but for some reason bookmakers see the upcoming confrontation very simple:

UEFA Europa League 2022/23 - FC Barcelona reach Round of 16?

Yes - 1.60
No - 2.20

To be honest, I don't understand how, in the face of so many uncertainties (including the motivation of teams to spend energy on this tournament), one of the teams can be given such a preference. In my opinion, this is too unbalanced odds and means an easy bet on United.

Just few months and few good results are not good enough for having any long term prediction about any manager or player because things can change drastically, and we can face any dilemma for any player and manager even right now Erik ten Hag is surely having good time and acceptable strategy which is working for the Manchester United, and now they have good results after few years which are giving impression that we can expect big success and long time performance from these all players which is surely tag of the Manchester United.

If he wants to be remembered as the level of Sir Alex Ferguson then surely needs nearly 15 to 20 years with good record and amazing number of wins because first one was really man of his performance, and surely he has done amazing stuff for this big club in England and Europe.

it's natural for fans to praise their team because after all the fans will be at a crucial point to praise the opposing team. barcelona after the arrival of lewandowski in the transfer window last summer barcelona seems to have found its best form in Laliga this season. Same is the case with Manchester United where the arrival of Erik as their coach was able to make Manchester United strong again in the Premier League.

so it's hard to guess who will be the winner in the Europa League knockout round match. Rashford this season has had a very good performance with Manchester United in the domestic league, I think he is a player that Barcelona defenders will be wary of.
