Manchester Utd vs Barcelona Prediction & Tips
In the first leg Manchester United drew 2-2 at the Nou Camp with goals from Marcus Rashford, who continues to extend his streak, and Kounde in his own goal, to be now at the expense of what happens at Old Trafford.
To whet their appetite, this Sunday they beat Leicester 3-0 with goals from Jadon Sancho and a brace from Rashford, who has a staggering 16 goals and 4 assists since the end of the World Cup in Qatar.
They thus remain in the Premier League race behind Arsenal and their neighbors Manchester City.
For this match, Lisandro Martinez and Marcel Sabitzer will be able to play after missing the first leg due to suspension, and also Casemiro who has spent 3 Premier League matches in the stands also due to suspension. Donny van de Beek and Christian Eriksen will be absent due to injury, and it remains to be seen what will happen with Antony, Harry Maguire and Anthony Martial who are doubts.
Manchester United could start with David De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Rafael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw; Casemiro, Sabitzer; Jadon Sancho, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Weghorst.
The 2-2 draw in the first leg in which Marcos Alonso and Rapinha scored may seem insufficient, so the azulgrana will rely on their good results away from home this season.
This draw broke the dynamic of constant victories that Xavi’s men had been carrying and that has been resumed with the victory obtained this Sunday over Cadiz in the Santander League by 2 goals to 0, in which Sergi Roberto and Lewandowski scored.
They are in this situation because of their inability to get ahead in a Champions League group in which Inter Milan and especially Bayern Munich were much better.
As for the eleven, there will be changes with Pedri injured and Gavi suspended for accumulation of cards. Dembelé will not be there either as he is still injured and at least Busquets returns after leaving behind his ailments and Ronald Araujo who did not play against Cadiz due to suspension.
Barcelona could start with Ter Stegen; Kounde, Roland Araujo, Marcos Alonso, Jordi Alba; Frenkie De Jong, Busquets, Kessie; Raphinha, Lewandowski and Ansu Fati.
