When comparing the two coaches, the name Erik ten hag is still above Xavi when it comes to his contribution to the club. Erik ten hag was successful with Ajax, that's why the red devils brought him to Old Trafford to train Manchester United now, while Xavi might have helped him with his contribution as a Barcelona legend which allowed him to now train Barcelona's main club. It will take time for Xavi to be compared to a coach as great as Erik ten Hag and I think Xavi can achieve that in a few seasons.
Now it's not the right time to compare because Xavi hasn't coached Barcelona for too long, even though Xavi will be great if he can lead Barcelona to win two different competitions this season. But apart from all that, I just want to see them compete really well in the Europa League because lately the two teams have started to improve the way they play in their respective domestic leagues in order to be better this season, including for the Europa League competition.

When it comes to the Sevilla v PSV draw it is likely to be in favour of PSV to tell the truth. The odds are also favouring them for advancing to next round. I don't see anything strange about it because we all see how bad Sevilla are in this season. The break for the World Cup still hasn't changed anything about their performance. They have returned with the same bad look. They are even under the danger of relegating from the La Liga under these conditions.

While in this situation I don't know how Sevilla players can motivate themselves to be successful in the Europa League. Of course they can think like the Europa League is their only chance but they don't have such an option to care about the La Liga less than that. PSV are in much better condition and they should be able to show this in action in this matchup as well.
Sevilla are struggling at the moment, it is understandable that they will be pushing their focus to escaping relegation this season. I think they might not be concerned on advancing to the next round when they face PSV.  Sevilla really need to start winning games because for a big club like Sevilla to go to relegation is a disgrace and it wouldn't be good for their reputation

The prestige of the two coaches will be at stake in this match, Ten Hag and Xavi have both succeeded in making their teams better by achieving positive results in their respective leagues.
Xavi can not compare to Ten Hag who has a longer career than Xavi. Ten Hag not only has a longer career but also more successful one. He succeeded in Netherlands with Ajax Amstersdam in Eredivisie league and in Champions League with a generation of De Ligt, De Jong, Ziyech. Xavi only has one title with Barcelona recent days in Spanish Super Cub. He failed with Barcelona in Champions League this season and comparing their records, Xavi has a less impressive record than Ten Hag.

When comparing the two coaches, the name Erik ten hag is still above Xavi when it comes to his contribution to the club. Erik ten hag was successful with Ajax, that's why the red devils brought him to Old Trafford to train Manchester United now, while Xavi might have helped him with his contribution as a Barcelona legend which allowed him to now train Barcelona's main club.

Yeah, that's better than losing against crystal palace. Sometimes even small team like crystal palace has given the hardest time united. The next match must become the primary concern. Ten hag must have been giving lots of motivation to its players. There shall be many preparations before MU faces Barcelona in the europa league. Barcelona can be considered the best team right now. It's also beating Madrid with huge scores. Ten hag must think about how to prevent Lewandowski and Barcelona wingers to be threats to united. Casemiro played a lot in that match. I think that
Talking about Casemiro, it seems that he had a lot of experience when he competed in El Clasico first and that could be a big capital for Manchester United, who has a defensive midfielder who is ready to read every movement of the Barcelona players. So in my opinion, at least Manchester United can minimize the movement of the Barcelona players in the match, but there are two players apart from Lewandowski that need attention here, namely Pedri and Gavi, both of whom have roles as creative midfielders and are also box to box types who often stab into the opponent's goal.
Casemiro has been facing barcelona so many times. that will be so good if he will be playing against barcelona. I think that the strategy that being used by barcelona is always the same. He has been fully experienced in el classico so many times.
Casemiro known about how to stop the attackers of barcelona. Remember that MU has a very good combinations on its defenders right now. Im thinking about that's gonna be so hard even for lewandowski to make goals against MU.
Casemiro as a player that can prevent it to happen. I know that casemiro was also very good defenders during his time in real madrid.

Agree. Xavi is a rookie manager who has taken charge of a major club for the first time. The first season he completely failed, the second season also began with a failure (relegation from the Champions League) which, against the backdrop of Barcelona's huge acquisitions, looks like a real failure. Ten Hag is already an experienced coach with successful cases and at the moment he is also successful at United. In fact, we cannot compare these two coaches at all, as they are completely different cases.

It would definitely be an interesting game to watch. Both teams in their respective leagues are doing well and scoring goals as well. It would be a tough one to predict on who is going to win and how many goals the game would produce.
Manchester United has done much better than Barcelona on the Europa League, but who knows?
The game is still a bit afar off but it’s a much anticipated game   

Well FC Barcelona has not played in Europa League so far in this season because obviously they have played in the group stage of the Champions League. They only managed to reach the third place their and that is the reason why they have to continue in the Europa League now. Usually i would say that the team that comes from the Champions League is the favorite, but i think it is different in that match up. Manchester United definitely is a team that also has the quality to beat every opponent.

This game might likely be in favour of Manchester United because they are already used to the league in winning games. Experience in winning games in Europa league gives Manchester united much to challenge Barcelona. The reason I think it will be easy for Manchester United to win the match is because all their players is in good form. This doesn't make Barcelona have no chances of winning,  it is still possible for Barcelona to win the game because their performance is not bad too.

Having won the European League doesn't give them the assurance to win the European Europa League, Barcelona also recently won against Real Madrid they will both come correct to win the game.
Manchester United find it very easy to play at Old Trafford, they will get a win there, but they will not get a win when Manchester United comes to the stadium ( Barcelona )
Besides they're to be highly spirited they just win the Premier League android.

In such stage of competition like the Europa league round of 16, little attention should be given to the club with the quality of beating every opponent. It doesn't necessarily mean that such a club can't lose. Manchester United is currently winning with Ten Hag's new game strategy, and strategy do fail sometimes like it did against crystal palace, so if u ask me to tell whose to win between the two side I will say it's the side with a lucky game plan.

The English Premier League and La Liga do have different tensions, but we can also consider when they have a strong opponent. At least with them playing well and getting good results when they play against strong teams in their respective leagues, these results can at least be a reference for us to be able to predict their match in this Europa League.
But yes indeed, at this moment at least Manchester United has a good method and strategy because Manchester United is also being coached by the right coach this season.
Barcelona haven't been able to prove themselves better in Europe this season, especially in the Champions League. But I think Xavi and his team really have to learn not to be afraid of facing any team in Europe including Manchester United which they will face next month in the Europa League stage. Victory will be very important because then Barcelona's chances of qualifying for the last 16 will be even greater, but Manchester United also have the determination to achieve the same achievement this season after being coached by Ten Hag.

Barcelona has a chance to win, so does Manchester United. I don't think it's only about Barcelona because as we can see, Manchester United who are getting better also have the potential to qualify.

Barcelona played a great game against Real Madrid. The problem with this team is that they are not consistent enough. But xavi has made them play better and more fun. Depay has now also been sold to Atletico Madrid, but I don't think that would be a problem that they lost it. They have plenty of options up front. Maybe they can strengthen the midfield a bit. You actually need another player like Modric there. Frenkie de Jong can occasionally play brilliant matches, but in some matches he is seemingly invisible. They have some bad luck with the draw against Manchester United, but from a sporting point of view it is a very nice challenge. And the supporters will also love that this game is played 2 x.

I do agree that it is going to be pretty tough to calculate whose going to win, it will definitely take some before we could make any calculation at all. I feel like Barcelona is in a better mood right now with the cup win and all, but that is of course not the sure thing so we need to wait it out. Like maybe until the game the tide will change?

United has been on a good momentum as well, so it is going to be something I will wait right until the last moment, I will probably bet on the very last day, hell last hour if I can. Because in that situation, you will know the possible elevens as well and see how they have been and that is going to be pretty decent.

I would say Manchester United and Barcelona are almost equally strong right now. This is why it is very difficult to predict which team will qualify for the next round. But in the last match, we saw the Barcelona team dominate and win against an experienced team like Madrid. If this performance continues, it will not be difficult for Barcelona to win against United. But since Barcelona is still not stable. So it is difficult for them to continue to perform consistently well.

I'm sure this match will present a very interesting match. the reason is, the two teams have found a real rhythm of the game. to be sure, the two coaches will compete tactics and strategies in this fight. interestingly, I'm sure Ten Hag is aware that Xavi will plan his strategy to excel in midfield like during Barcelona's match against Real Madrid in the supercopa final. at least, Ten Hag will find a way to counter the Barcelona midfielders and one of them, Casemiro, knows exactly how Barcelona play.

On the other hand, Barcelona will not underestimate The Red Devils. the reason is, Man United is in a fairly stable performance both in defense and in their front line players. I'm not too sure what strategy and formation these two trainers will use. however, this bout will present the stakes with a high atmosphere.
Yes, you could say this was a match with high intensity. Both teams proved their performance in their respective leagues and it looks like this will also be a strategic battle between coaches Erik ten hag and Xavi. So far, the Red Devils' defense has been very solid when compared to the previous season, maybe you already know the reason and for Barcelona, Araujo's role in defense is very strong, making it difficult for any striker to get past him. For Barcelona's attack line, we know how Lewandowski's quality has been so sharp in front of the opponent's goal, while Manchester United are still waiting to prove Weghorst's performance this season.

Having a draw in their last match by Manchester united is still a good result, and shouldn't be used to judge their match with Barca. EPL is different and tougher than Laliga,which gives Manchester united  more advantage over Barca. It will be a difficult and interesting match,since it has been long since this two clubs clashed.
Manchester United and Barca are performing better in their various leagues. We have seen how both teams have been winning their matches lately. Manchester United drew to Crystal Palace and Barca won over Real Madrid in the super cup. Both team's last matches can be used to judge the upcoming match that will happen between them in 3 weeks. Barca and Manchester United do have other matches to play with other clubs before then. Maybe before then, the situation of injuries or loss form might occur between Barca or Manchester United. Which might be an advantage to the other team

I agreed what you give all details about Sevilla they have done big mistake as sell their quality players without any suitable replacement which is surely having big trouble for them and currently their situation is beyond the expectations specially while they are fighting hard for coming out of the relegation zone we can expect good play from the PSV which already beat Arsenal at their home and have good performance in other league matches as well.
It is their strategy in the past 20 years if I am not wrong. They succeeded even since the past season and what are happening in this season is so strange. It can be be a short term downfall for Sevilla and they will come back. It can be a signal of something wrong with their scout team which I don't believe it is what actually happening.

Sevilla must play at least good enough to not be relegated in this season. Any judgement about their transfer strategy and performance should be halted. I think one more season will help us understanding more about their club conditions.

Sevilla all wins are now history with no one care about this all how they have done things in past mostly want to have better performance in current era which is surely not as per standard there were hopes they could be improved after the break but until now things are not favouring them, and they are at same level as they have ended before break.
They are not all win in Europa League but they are a most successful club in Europa League historically. Surprising to know two most successful clubs in Champions League and Europa League are all come from La Liga, Real Madrid and Sevilla.
Sevilla have been performing brilliantly this season. Everyone in the team is working hard for the progress of the team. The coach of the team is applying great tactics which has resulted in Sevilla progressing brilliantly.

The match between Barcelona and MU is still a long time, about 1 month later, with that space, anything change can happen with the squad or team. As I remember several years of situations when a team is favored to win like Barcelona which has a perfect squad has loss meet the underdog team. We can say Barcelona is a team that can not have a problem beating MU, but if 1 of the player have a problem like an injured or can't play on that match, that possible MU will take the opportunity to win and go to the next round.

Indeed, in the match later, one thing that is most feared is if there are major players who suffer injuries during matches in their respective regular leagues. But talking about injuries, sometimes there are some players who get injured during training sessions and that is also something that coaches should be aware of. However, if Man United vs Barcelona later appears with the full main squad, it seems that the match will run more exciting and it will be even more difficult to guess who will win.

Definitely Manchester United vs Barcelona will be so interesting game, Any mistakes from any of the teams will be used as an opportunity  for victory. The result will tell if Barcelona is ready for europa league or not , this season it seems Barcelona is just much interested in winning the laliga. Manchester United have been well in the Europa league,  they would like to still maintain their consistency.
Football fans are very interested in the match between Manchester United and Barcelona. Currently, Barcelona is performing well. Convincing the victory by a big margin, all the players in the team are performing brilliantly. Hopefully Barcelona will be able to beat Manchester United.

When it comes to the Sevilla v PSV draw it is likely to be in favour of PSV to tell the truth. The odds are also favouring them for advancing to next round. I don't see anything strange about it because we all see how bad Sevilla are in this season. The break for the World Cup still hasn't changed anything about their performance. They have returned with the same bad look. They are even under the danger of relegating from the La Liga under these conditions.
Sevilla current performance was beyond the expectations of many people and Sevilla condition now is not reflected they are one of the teams with the most titles in this competition that at their domestic league Sevilla was very familiar with losses even against the teams which is on the paper below to their quality Sevilla always be lose and just like i said before i think they will not too pay attention for the match against PSV because their current focus is how to avoiding relegation zone on Laliga and this is good opportunities for PSV to taking chances from this situations and the odds might be still not published yet because the match will starting on February but in my opinion PSV will easily to beat Sevilla and qualified to next round
