You are right about that, considering that they have little chance in the domestic league to fight for tickets to the Champions League, winning the Europa League is an option for them to get an automatic ticket to play in the Champions League. If they were not subject to the sanctions that forced them to fall from their previous position because of the 15 point deduction, then they would have taken advantage of Serie A as a place for them to qualify for the Champions League, but now things have changed.

That's very sad to see the match will be happening during the play off to determine which club that will be going to the last 16. I think that Barcelona will make it. MU has very good odds and it's really worthy to be taken rather than going all in Barcelona. it seems both were equal at this moment too.
I think that Barcelona was also trying to confidence itself to perform even better compared with the last season when Barcelona was unable to win europa league caused of it lost against Frankfurt.
I personally interested to placed my bet on MU rather than Barcelona.

I added Juventus in the list team favorite become the winner in UEFA Europe League 2022/2023 season after 15 point deduction in domestic league they faced difficult get Champion League spot trough top fourth finish standing. Actually Europe League winner automatically get UEFA Champion League ticket next season and I think become bigger ambition from Juventus.

Except many predicting still favorite between Barcelona/Manchester United or Arsenal but I think Juventus has difference viewed right now after punishment from point deduction in domestic league. They have win all matches left in domestic league if want to get one position left for UEFA Champion League next season.

The match between Manchester United and Barcelona attracted a lot of attention because they are indeed a big team with a large support base, so it's not surprising that every time a big team like them meets it will become a hot topic of conversation. Of course, talking about the European League, there are also many big teams, but mostly they will meet teams that can be said to be weaker and unbalanced, and they don't have big names like these two teams (Manchester United and Barcelona).

From my personal point of view, this match depends on who will be the main starter in this match and what strategy the two coaches from these two teams apply. true I agree, too soon if we speculate for now. but when referring to their matches in the domestic league, my attention is more on what scenarios and strategies Ten Hag will apply later. whether Ten Hag will use a counterattack pattern, or will they play defensively in the first leg.

Meanwhile, bad news for Barcelona fans. Reportedly, Dembele will miss the playoffs due to a thigh injury against Girona. Dembele is expected to be out for three weeks to one month, most likely Dembele will not play when Barcelona meet Manchester United. if so, Xavi will automatically change his formation when entertaining United later. and this match, will be more competitive. by the way, it's a shame that this match was presented in the play-off round, this match should have been a Europa League final battle.

This Europa league competition doesn't only revolve around MU and FCB as people may see it cuz as it stands now, clubs that are known to be great rivals in their domestic leagues are no more in their domestic league top 3, they are now struggling for top 4 and the UEFA competition title. so I will not be surprised to see any one among  Ajax, union Berlin, roma, juventus, Sporting, PSV or Leverkusen, qualify for the final stage of this season's Europa league.  The above teams are my predicted qualifiers. If anyone amongst Manchester united or FC Barcelona should leave, it will make the tax much more easy for others.

Manchester United and Barcelona will play two matches. One match at Barcelona's home ground and another at Manchester United's home ground. Everyone believes that these two matches will be very competitive. But each team will have more advantage at their home ground.

Both teams face tough challenges in their two-leg meeting, of course, because each has quality players. I would never expect either one to be underestimated for whatever reason, but as far as what I've seen Barcelona football this season has been pretty good. This is signal that should probably be the reason why Manchester United can't let their guard down against Barcelona, ​​so there's no reason to underestimate them.

The first leg will be played at Camp Nou, Barcelona are favorites at home but there is no certainty about the result. Marc-André ter Stegen who is in his best form is the reason why Barcelona's defense looks so strong in La Liga, and Barcelona's strength this season is almost evenly distributed in all positions including defender, midfielder and forward.

I think the match between Barcelona and Manchester United will be one of the best in history. Because currently both teams are performing incredibly well. We will see a competitive match, with Barcelona one of the attacking players Lewandowski in top form as well as Ousmane Dembele.

Actually look at UEL, many of the last pages talk about Manchester United vs Barcelona. As if waiting for the UEL final, we are waiting for this matchup. Indeed, both teams are at UCL level, so UEL's tournament quality suddenly increased with these teams. In this transfer period, I examine the movements of these teams extra. Because there will be 2 matches with the taste of Finals among themselves, and the team that passes the round from these big matches will most likely continue on their way to the cup. We look forward to the great match between Manchester United and Barcelona. Let's see what kind of analysis we will do about the teams?

No wonder there is so much speculation in favor of Barcelona or Manchester United. This is seen from many factors, the speculation is interesting because it is based on their development in the game in the domestic league. They still have a lot to fix, of course that's what they have to pay attention to. I agree with you that a big game like this in the Europa League is more appropriate to be in a more conical round like the semi-finals for example. However, the results of the brand lottery must meet and carry out a match in this round.

Ajax are really worrying with their performance in this season. There is a significant drop in their performance level in the Eredivisie recently. They lost so many points in the recent times and this caused them to get away from the leader a lot. I don't know if they can make an improvement until their Europa League matchup as well.

On the other hand Union Berlin are in much better condition now. They have reached the second position in the standings in the Bundesliga again after keeping a good form. They seem more promising on paper. However we are talking about a Europa League matchup in which balances are likely to change quite much. I expect Ajax to play better there and they are much more experienced than their opponent. Ajax can win this matchup I believe.

Everyone seemed to be waiting for the fight to take place. Barcelona is also in good shape so far in La Liga and other competitions, while Manchester United are still struggling to maintain consistency. Manchester United has another 4 matches before meeting Barcelona on February 17 at Camp Nou, while Barcelona has only 3 matches because today has completed 1 match against Girona.

I hope Barcelona will do good job this season in the Europa League. They have learn from last season even though Barcelona's game this season is much more developed. Camp Nou should be a witness that Barcelona has improved, and I will 100% support Barcelona to win it.

I agree that if you want to bet on them to win with this odds, it's not a terrible bet. Looking at how they have been very well since the return from world cup, I would say they do not have that low of a chance to win, they have a very good chance to win, not the favourites to win the game, but I would put it somewhere at 2.70 to 3.00 levels and not 4.00+ odds, that is "very unlikely to win" type of thing.

In any case, I am going to bet on them to win, but not going to bet too much because there is a big chance Barcelona could win too, they are playing well enough and have a good team and will likely get this game, but their odds are not worth the risk at all to me.

This match is highly unpredictable, which is why there has been much speculation about the possible outcome. The two teams are in their primes, playing in their respective domestic leagues; one team prevailing over the other at this point will be extremely difficult, and watching an unpredictable match will be extremely entertaining. This match is worth watching in the Europa League semi-finals or finals, and I always wish it came later in the Europa league.

This match is 20 days away which is what football lovers have been waiting for. You are right that both of these teams have pretty good quality this season where Barcelona has again performed quite well in the laliga and they have just won a trophy. Thus it is indeed quite difficult to predict who will come out victorious in the match later, even though there is a lot of speculation going around that Manchester United will be able to beat Barcelona but that is not necessarily going to come true.

I'm still not hasty to determine who will make it to the next round considering that these two teams will perform better than what we can see from their play in the domestic league.

Manchester United are seriously a team to fear under Ten Hag, he has done tremendously well in building this team just in space of six months. Although I expected him to improve them but the impact look instant and every team needs to wary. With said Barca aren’t that same team they were in the beginning of the season they have improved and the recent win against Madrid to win the Super cup has increased their moral. So it is quite hard to predict this match easily now

I know for sure Manchester united will put in much strength to defeat Barcelona . The way ten Hag is building the team it is becoming so difficult for big teams to succeed  in winning Manchester united.

Although this assumption is weak, I think that Casimero's qualities can make it difficult for Barcelona, although Erik Ten Hak does not rely solely on him, because football is collective and has a role for each other. But at least he understands Barcelona's playing style, even though he is no longer playing at Real Madrid. There is no doubt Casimero's experience in big games, because he has already played for Real Madrid and that's why I said Erik Ten Hak needs Casimero.

Both of them have the same chance to win the match, Barcelona is superior because they are playing at home, but the strategy of the coach and the metal of the players is also quite important in a big match like this.

The game strategy that Xavi often applies is to try to dominate the game and they will try to keep the rhythm in order to control ball possession, while Erik Ten Hak can defend and carry out quick counterattacks, although this strategy is also not necessarily successful. As far as I have seen United's playing style since being coached by Erik Ten Hak, they also often play short passes and also rely on speed.

It is indeed difficult to predict who will come out victorious in the first leg, especially since so far the two teams are in good form. In my opinion there is no luck in football, there is only chance and strategy.

Manchester United have quite well performance with Erik Tan Hag comparison with previous manager based on achievement in domestic league or Europe League. Opponent team as Barcelona have consistency performance in domestic league and last few minutes success won from Girona and leaded La Liga standing behind 6 points left from Real Madrid.

Both team are playing in playoff round have promising performance and I am little difficult for predicting between Barcelona or Manchester United will lead to next round, disappointed have eliminated one best team between  Barcelona or Manchester United in Europe League, actually will be excited if both team face in semifinal or final stage.
