UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[makishart]

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.

Both teams have done a very good job lately, they have good coaches, they have been very much strengthened by young players and therefore I cannot choose any clear favorite here. Anyone can be the winner, it will be a good confrontation and I doubt that any of the coaches will put up a non-main team, even if the EL is not such a prestigious tournament as the Champions League, then this confrontation is prestigious itself.

For putting the non main team one thing is sure,Manchester United is not leading the standings like Barcelona is in La Liga so Manchester United it is a known thing that they will be putting their main squad and Europa League despite not being prestigious enough as the Champions League,many consider it the second best thing,so in this sense is prestigious also.

For Barcelona I think they have the luxury of risking a game in La Liga as they are 5 points ahead and as such I doubt they will also be playing with a non main squad in this encounter.

I don't think so. I understand you were putting MU is a bit weaker compared with barcelona. Barcelona itself was seeing la liga is far more important rather than europa league. Even laporta itself was feeling disappointed after barcelona goes to the europa league.
Im thinking about barcelona will always be playing with the main squad in any of competitions. Dembele was getting injury. Dembele will not be playing against MU.
I think that barcelona will not even thinking to use non main squad for the upcoming match in la liga. It's better for barcelona to keep 5 points gap rather than become even closer with madrid.

Manchester United are weaker than Barcelona but if they are weaker, it is a little bit only. Do you think Manchester City are weaker than Barcelona? They are stronger than both Barcelona and Manchester United.

If Manchester United can beat Manchester City in Manchester Derby, they can beat Barcelona in Europa League. We should know results are not come from math but by using this example, I want to say Manchester United have chance to beat Barcelona, just have chance. Beating Barcelona or not, we will only know after their two matches complete.

Im thinking about barcelona will always be playing with the main squad in any of competitions. Dembele was getting injury. Dembele will not be playing against MU.
I think that barcelona will not even thinking to use non main squad for the upcoming match in la liga. It's better for barcelona to keep 5 points gap rather than become even closer with madrid.

Maybe they don't have confidence that they can win with a B-team and they try to use their main squad anytime they can. It is difference between good and world-class clubs in their substitution player resource. Without good substitution players, a club can not be competitive enough in all matches and in all competitions during a very long season.

What you were saying was true. MU has very bad record against Barcelona. MU was so difficult to beat Barcelona. Xavi has raphinha as a replacement for dembele. Raphinha has proven itself during the match against real betis. I think that there should not be a problem with barcelone even playing without dembele. Barcelona is feeling so good with the composition of the current squad. I think that this gonna be a game that may not able to be won by united. It's still a match that can't be determined easily

However it is, Dembele's injury is going to be a problem for Barcelona. He's the most creative attacker they have and he will be missed. The odds of the game favor Barcelona not only because of history but i believe Barcelona are in a better place than Manchester United. Despite the good result from United lately you can see that the players are still struggling to really play the kind of football he wants from them, they choke against formidable opponents at times. There is still a lot of room for improvement in Barcelona but the players already understand what Xavi wants from them, its the execution that's a problem. I don't think it going to be a match won by individual brilliance, it's going to rely more on the coaches tactics.

Dembele's hamstring injury is very detrimental for Barcelona that we know his speed to dribble is beyond doubt and as a right winger he has played quite well this season. But indeed he is doubtful to appear when he meets Manchester United later, but that has been resolved by Xavi and the temporary Dembele position will continue to be filled by Raphinha or Ansu Fati until Dembele has recovered from injury. So barcelona will probably still put up a tough fight against manchester united and I think it will be even more interesting.

Dembele is one of the key players for the Barcelona team. I think his injury will have a special impact on the team. Currently every match of Barcelona is very important, Dembele playing in these matches would be very beneficial for the team.

Without good substitution players, a club can not be competitive enough in all matches and in all competitions during a very long season.

Considering the current performance, Barcelona is much ahead of Manchester United. Barcelona have secured victory in each of the last few matches. Every player in the team is at their best. So Barcelona have more chances to beat Manchester United.

This match is really important for both the teams. Both teams are likely to field their best players. After a long time, Barcelona is going to play against a big team. But since Barcelona beat Real Madrid a few days ago, they have great confidence. I see Barcelona as favorite in this match.

[rahmad2nd]

Ten hag has been transforming united into the new team. MU has proven without ronaldo and the club can do even better. Im sure that MU will be giving a tough game against Barcelona. I hope that sabitzer gonna be a good replacement for eriksen.
there have been many improvements happened with the club after ten hag was putting some useless players like meguire on the bench. I hope that MU will able to defeat Barcelona at any cost.

United have yet to show their true strength. I mean, Ten Hag is just taking advantage of the available players. meaning, in the next season United will transform into a very tough team by bringing in players who fit Ten Hag's criteria. because of that, in January, United were not very active in bringing in more pentonsial players. it seems, Ten Hag more planning for the transfer market next summer.
unfortunately, Eriksen got injured. this made Ten Hag a little worried, because he was one of the core players in the Ten Hag project. however, I never doubted United. because Ten Hag is a qualified trainer with experience, he is very disciplined as well as a smart trainer.

Meanwhile, Barcelona is showing a fairly consistent performance in its domestic league. they are top of the standings with five points difference with Madrid. if Xavi is able to bring his team to win two games before the playoffs later, then Barcelona will focus on winning the game over United. but in truth, this fight will involve how ingenuity the two trainers carry out the strategy and formation that they apply in the match later.

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.

It is only a matter of percentages in the bookmaker's analysis and may also have a compelling reason based on some endorsements. But as I said before, Manchester United are showing more and more quality at the moment and they are also getting solid, there are several reasons that make me think Manchester United can draw in the match which will take place at the Camp Nou. Manchester United's playing style also has similarities with Barcelona, because at this time they also use a short ball game with one or two touches.

Another advantage of Erik Ten Hak is being able to combine speed techniques and Marcus Rasford has proven to be a very dangerous player in front of goal at the moment, these two patterns can hinder Barcelona's full possession of the ball, so that speed can be used to carry out quick counterattacks. Of course not all matches will be the same and I think Erik Ten Hak has found a strategy against Barcelona.

I don't think it's a big or small problem now because it's a good opportunity for them to reduce the margin of loss when they have to be knocked out of the Champions League stage so they need to win in this case.
On the other hand, it is true that even if they have met before, it is a big match, but now Barcelona and Manchester United have a new look so there may be some unexpected things.

Manchester United is in very good form. Manchester United performed well today against Crystal Palace. Their match strategy was good. But they have to play better if they want to win against Barcelona. And the important thing is that they need to strengthen their defense. If the defense is not strong, they will not be able to resist the attack of Dembele, and Lewandowski. Lewandowski is a very experienced player.

I think United won't win just because of Dembele missing the games, I believe that we shouldn't really seen this game changed at all, it was a close game and I still think that its a close one. It is definitely a recipe for a game where home teams will win, I am not sure who will go to next stage and who will have a better win, but home teams winning their own games looks like a big possibility.

After all, the whole travel thing may impact players, not a ton because they are professionals who are used to it, but it still matters and I think the games are so close to each other that even a travel could be the difference between the clubs. Lets see how it will go, but I am not betting.

Manchester united got all it needs to win Barcelona if they really want to to. Before now Rashford and Co used to have uncontrolled speed and no good football.  But since Ten Hag took over he is bringing the best out of the boys who are willing to play nice football.
By next season you will be surprised how good Chelsea .

Yes, I forgot to mention this part of the upcoming games. I don't like Ten Hag, but compared to Xavi, he is a real specialist and we can assume that he should win his part of the confrontation at the coaching level for a clear advantage.
This is another argument in favor of United, and the more absurd the forecasts of bookmakers now look (however, bookmakers are also not omnipotent and must take into account the opinion of the crowd and cash flows - and fact is that the Barcelona brand is now stronger than the United brand).

Erik Ten Hag by now is one step ahead towards creating a strong wall of defense against Barcelona in order not to allow a chance of penetration from their forward players, just like Dembele and Lewandowski who are very dangerous when allowed to break into a defensive line. Their matchup with each other came at a very early time but watching the game now when the two teams are in top form makes it more intriguing to watch.

Far from happy they couldn't keep the clean sheets today as David De Gea conceded a goal today, he's actually having the chance to chase a former Manchester United legend.
But i really don't see Manchester United holding Barcelona down to  the both clubs drawing the game.
Today even without the engine room of Manchester United Casemiro due to red card, they still put up that fighting mentality to win the game for the club and fans.

I don't think Manchester United is doing very well with David De Gea. Manchester United's defense is a bit weak. So David De Gea conceded the goal. However, the most exciting match in the Europa League is Barcelona vs Manchester United. It is difficult to say which team will win. Both teams have been performing quite well in recent times. And so no team will want to miss out on the Europa League title now.

Dembele will not be playing against MU during the continuation of europa league for the match between MU against Barcelona. Raphinha will be replacing dembele and i believe raphinha is far garbage compared with dembele. MU's defenders will able to protect rapinha easily while the problem is now Lewandowski. I think mu needs to learn from the play style that has used by bayern against Barcelona. intermilan was also showing good play about how to prevent Barcelona.
Dembele will not be a threat for MU caused by be will absent from the game against MU. Im so happy to see that one of main player from Barcelona won't play.

Compared to Dembele, Raphinha may be a bit behind. Because Dembele has been in good form this season. But it cannot be said that Raphinha is very weak. He is quite talented. But he missed a lot of opportunities. Every chance is very important in such an important match. And so Xavi needs to fine-tune his match strategy. If the match strategy is weak, it will not be possible to defeat the United team.

[Sterbens]

The match between Leverkusen vs Monaco is also worth looking forward to, because it is different from before, when at that time Leverkusen's performance dropped dramatically. Whereas now Leverkusen are making good changes and there are improvements in their game. So it looks like we're going to see another interesting match in this one as well. Monaco itself is a club that cannot be underestimated, they are so strong and now they are in the top 4 in the Domestic League.
Before that I didn't see a chance from Leverkusen, but after they changed for the better, I slowly gave them confidence.
