Awaited time has coming up in this middle week for UEFA Europe League playoff round match between Barcelona vs Manchester United, have good advantage for Blaugrana how scoring early and many goals as host team before five days later face with second leg on Old Trafford. Both team having short time for taking rest after have to play at domestic league match tomorrow.
I think for first leg UEFA Europe League playoff round Barcelona favored than Manchester United because they are host team, have beneficial with fans support and still unbeaten as home match in La Liga will give opportunity for Barcelona winning on first leg.

True, both Erik ten hag and Xavi will definitely prepare the best strategy for the first leg match later, but again Barcelona will get the opportunity to host first and the support flowing from the Blaugranes will pump up the enthusiasm of the Barcelona players. I think Xavi has to anticipate Marcus Rashford's movements because in several Manchester United matches he is very consistent in scoring goals in every regular league match and does not rule out the possibility that he will score again against Barcelona later.
Barcelona have a number of options in vital positions in the team like in the attacking wings, in the absence of Usman Dembele, Raphinha is available as a replacement for Dembele which gives some level of relief to Xavi as he will not worry much about finding a replacement for Dembele. Manchester United on the other hand are lucky that Casemiro will be available for the first leg meeting against Barcelona and with Eriksen's absence, Sabitzer will fill in and give United some balance in the midfield.
Even though both teams will be minus several players who are absent due to injury, it seems that this is not a problem for the two coaches and they have anticipated this well. The first leg match will take place in a week, of course both barcelona and manchester united must keep their players fit for the match later and I hope that in this week's match in their respective regular leagues, no players will be injured again for both teams.although both trainers could say everything was fine. but I'm sure, now they are fighting to make the right strategy and composition of players.
This is Barcelona's home match. And considering only the home match I consider Barcelona as favourites. In fact I find my Barcelona and Manchester United squads equally strong. However, Barcelona is stronger in home matches. Barcelona are hard to beat at the Camp Nou. However, the recent performances of both the teams are quite good. The players of both the teams are confident now. We should be ready to see any results.
Both teams are in their best form in their respective leagues, Manchester United looks confident again after suffering consecutive defeats at the start of the season.
While Barcelona come as a challenger with their new squad this season, the consistency of Xavi's team is unquestionable, they have been very consistent and ambitious this season.
Barcelona will be a big challenge for other teams playing in the Europa League
This is Barcelona's home match. And considering only the home match I consider Barcelona as favourites. In fact I find my Barcelona and Manchester United squads equally strong. However, Barcelona is stronger in home matches. Barcelona are hard to beat at the Camp Nou. However, the recent performances of both the teams are quite good. The players of both the teams are confident now. We should be ready to see any results.
Hard to beat at home doesn't mean Barcelona can't be beaten by their opponents on their own turf. Even if you think about the chances of victory, indeed Barcelona has a slightly better advantage because the match with Manchester United will take place at home to Barcelona. But Manchester United themselves are also very aware of this so they will also play their best at home to Barcelona in order to be able to balance the game they will face later.I would say it is not possible to make predictions about this match. Barcelona and Manchester United are in good form. This is why it is impossible to predict which team will win. Ten Hag managed to stabilize the Manchester United team. However, several important players will be absent from this match due to injuries. And so it will be a bit difficult for United to play well in this match. Barcelona are also strong at Camp Nou.
How does Barca current form gives them an advantage edge against Manchester United? I think both teams look well to balance just like the how both teams where when they meet in the 2009 Champions league. Both have a brilliant and exciting coaches. The most interesting thing with this encounter is the fact that both clubs have made their respective home as fortresses and this encounter will surely be won by the team that takes a point or more in the opposition home
I have a perception in the match later in the first leg where one of them manages to score an early goal will be able to make them a winner. even though barcelona is playing at home it is not impossible if manchester united can surprise the home team and vice versa.both teams are equally strong and they are a team that is in pretty good form this season. But these two teams have rarely met in the highest competition, even their previous match took place in 2019, so it's a little difficult for us to make the statistics of their meetings the main point for betting.
I think that is the point, because Barcelona is far superior when they are playing at home, so if United could get a draw in Nou Camp, then they could end up getting a win in Old Trafford a lot easily. If they lose, they could still make a come back, like lose 1-0, but then win 2-0 at home so United could still proceed with that mindset, but that doesn't mean that it could ever happen in that kind of way.
Playing at Camp Nou is never easy for guest teams. In the past, when Barcelona are big names in Champions League, I saw some clubs can challenged Barcelona at their home stadiums, got wins at their homes but later when they visited Camp Nou to play in the second leg, they failed and were beaten by Barcelona in aggregated result.Barcelona are no longer big and dangerous like they were in the past but I believe their home stadium is still a challenge for guest teams.

I believe that we should be expecting a big fight from United on first game, they will throw everything they have and will try to keep possession of the ball and just slow the game down as much as possible to get a draw, will be very difficult but not impossible.
Both matches are big fights for both clubs but I don't know what made you believe that Manchester United can get a draw in Camp Nou and later they can win easily in Old Trafford.Sounds like you are considering Barcelona too weak in this season?

Casemiro will be available fresh for the game against Barcelona it will be the first game since he left La Liga against a Spanish side
Rashford should just be in the right position so he can always score those goals
Garnacho and Sancho can both come up at the wings to create chances

that is rather difficult to happen if manchester united is chasing a draw at home to barcelona. Barcelona is very ambitious when playing in front of its supporters, especially in the Europa League, of course, all the best strengths that they have will be fully utilized in order to win. but on the one hand it is good if Manchester United can draw in the first leg and Manchester United can take advantage of the second leg to seek victory.it is rather difficult to say the results of these two teams because of course the best quality is shared by these two teams. some of the players from these two teams have shined quite a bit this season and I even thought that in the first leg later one of them would definitely lose and a draw might not happen.

I don't think Ten Hag will expect a draw in the first leg, because Ten Hag has a system with an offensive strategy. even so, it seems there are many scenarios that Ten Hag could apply. referring to several United matches against City and Arsenal, Ten Hag will let his opponent attack and United will carry out a counterattack scheme. well, it's possible that in the match vs Barcelona, Ten Hag will apply the same system. but all of that, depending on what Ten Hag will implement with his formation.
but usually, Ten Hag applies a 4-2-3-1 formation pattern. the key is how Casemiro plays and who is his duet partner. if it's Fred, I really doubt it, but if it's Sbitzer, it's likely that United have a big chance to offset the game from Barcelona. As for the front line, I don't doubt Rasford, Bruno, or Sancho, even Antony. either way, Ten Hag will turn this away game into a win for them.
well, for Barcelona. Xavi's team benefited from playing at home in the first leg. IMO, Barcelona is one level above United.
It's a game one can not fully decide or predict the end but if Manchester United tried to get a draw at Barcelona's home then they can strategize and find way to break Barcelona at Old Trafford were they have achieved mostof them best points this season. No I mean to say immediately after the world cup. Good one from Xavi Hernandez he's done a job I expected but I expect better next season. I expect them to pick the La Liga again of they win this year.

Barcelona team is currently performing one of the best. The coach of the team is Xavi, who has brought the team to this stage with one of the talents. Manchester United is a strong team though. However, Barcelona's current performances certainly qualify them to beat Manchester United.

This will become a match to prove which one that is better. Barcelona will not able to play with dembele and busquets. MU will take it as an opportunity for sure. MU is aiming to beat barcelona easily.
