FC Barcelona vs Manchester United

 

Barce have the upper hand in the first half of each of their last ten games. And they did so in their last two games against Man United, winning both with a clean sheet.

FC Barcelona is anticipated to win full time and take the lead in the first half.

Salzburg vs Roma

Red Bull Salzburg is hoping to win again following the 4-0 Bundesliga triumph vs SC Austria Lustenau. They are comfortable on the top of the Austrian top flight, so they can focus on the Europa League. Over their preceding six fixtures, Matthias Jaissle's Red Bull Salzburg has hit the back of the net a total of nine times, an average number of goals scored per match of 1.5. Salzburg aims for a good campaign on the continental stage, and they look forward to putting on a confident display. Samson Tijani (Tibia and Fibula Fracture), Justin Omoregie (Back trouble), Daouda Guindo (Knee Surgery), Dijon Kameri (Knee Problems), and Bryan Okoh (Fitness) will not be able to play for Red Bull Salzburg gaffer Matthias Jaissle.

In their last fixture, Roma drew 1-1 in the Serie A tie with Lecce. Giallorossi haven't been too confident lately, as they won just once in the last four matches in all competitions. In their last six clashes, Roma has helped themselves to a total of nine goals. Roma has also managed to score on each one of those occasions. In that time, their defenders have had five goals scored by their opponents. Roma boss José Mourinho has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Ebrima Darboe (Cruciate Ligament Surgery) and Leonardo Spinazzola (Thigh Muscle Strain) will not be playing here.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

It is going to be a tight clash since both teams can secure a positive result here. Therefore, we won't be surprised if the first-leg match ends in a draw.

Goals Market Prediction

Both teams have talented offenses, and we expect an efficient game on Thursday evening. That's why we believe each side will find the back of the opponent's net.

Draw @ 3.30

BTTS Yes @ 1.83

Correct score 1:1 @ 6.20

Barcelona vs Manchester United

Barcelona is hoping to win again following the 1-0 La Liga triumph over Villarreal. They are on the top of the La Liga table, and Barcelona could win the title at the end of the campaign. A recurring aspect of more recent Barcelona games is seeing a zero in the scoreline. Taking their previous six matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them, a wager on BTTS would have been a losing one. Such a trend might not be carried forward here, of course. César Montes (Head Injury), Joselu (Muscle Injury), Adrià Pedrosa (Groin Injury), and Keidi Bare (Ruptured ankle ligament) aren't available for Barcelona gaffer Xavi Hernández.

Manchester United will come into the match following a 2-0 Premier League win versus Leeds United in their previous fixture. The Red Devils stayed in the top-four zone, and they still hope to enter the title race. Over the course of their last half-dozen outings, Manchester United has bagged the sum of 14 goals. Manchester United have also scored in every single one of those games. During those fixtures, they have seen four goals go into their net. Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has not got a full squad to pick from. Anthony Martial (Hip Injury), Scott McTominay (Unknown Injury), Christian Eriksen (Ankle Injury), and Donny van de Beek (Knee Injury) can't be considered. Lisandro Martínez is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

We expect a very exciting encounter, and all three outcomes are a real possibility. However, we think the home side will secure the advantage in their backyard.

Goals Market Prediction

Both teams have been productive in front of the opponent’s goal lately, and we don’t think this game will be much different. Therefore, neither side should keep a clean sheet in this match.

Barcelona to Win @ 1.78

BTTS Yes @ 1.74

Correct score 2:1 @ 8.20

Eric Ten Haag, as a manager for both Ajax and now Manchester United, has never lost away to any Spanish teams in European competition.  He has a tendency of loosing at home ground.
