Manchester United have quite strong ambitions in the Europa League because this is a big target for them to win this season. Erik Ten Hag will do his best to bring Manchester United to victory when they face Sevilla. Overall, Manchester United performance this season is quite good compared to last season, they even seem to be on a very impressive pace after Erik Ten Hag became their coach.
Sevilla is not a strong team this season because their performance has relatively decreased quite a lot from last season. They only have a small chance of keeping Manchester United at bay but it's a bit difficult for them to do if Manchester United can score early in the match later.
I remember when Manchester United fans were bragging about winning the league title even when they were 12 points below very funny supporters. They seem to have silently moved their hopes to the Europa league, their match with Sevilla will determine if they still have a shot at the Europa title or they suffer the same fate as they did in the EPL.
Juventus - Sporting is going to be a quite close matchup in my opinion. I don't see a big difference especially after Sporting eliminated the biggest favourite of the tournament which was Arsenal in last round.
This is making Sporting a pretty dangerous team actually. Arsenal were one of the best attacking teams in the Europa League. But Sporting still somehow resisted them in Emirates also and made it to this round by penalties. Juventus are going to be a more different opponent for them though. Juventus would play more cautious against Sporting which can make things more interesting in this matchup. It feels like Juventus can get a good result in Turin in the first leg. In that case Sporting's job would be quite difficult home.
Very correct, both teams are slightly similar in terms of playing style, I think the match will be an interesting one. Against Arsenal, Sporting were tactically smart enough to capitalize on Arsenal’s weaknesses and I am expecting something similar against Juventus who have quite a reputation enough to make their opponent worried.
