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.
What's interesting is that the two teams, both Manchester United and Barcelona, are both experiencing an increase in performance in their respective leagues so that their full strength will definitely be seen in the Europa League matches this season and every coach from the two teams will also be very aware of this. they are facing is not a weak team and clearly needs more improvement before the game starts.
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. The match between Barcelona and Manchester United not only shows who is the best between the two, Manchester United also wants to take revenge on Barcelona for the painful defeats in the two Champions League finals in the 2009 and 2011 seasons.
Both teams will try to reduce their best squad by installing different strategies, the coach will try to find loopholes to weaken his opponent. It is difficult to predict the outcome of this match, because both teams have always performed well in the last few matches in the Domestic league.

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.

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.

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.

Manchester United have been in the Europa League from the start, while Barcelona they haven't even play a one match in the Europa League. In my opinion, to assess the consistency of the two in the Europa League, at least we need to see Barcelona's performance in the Europa League first, it looks more balanced as a reference.
Barcelona has been played in a better competition than europa league before. Barcelona degrade to the europa league caused by it was not able competing in UCL. that proves that if barcelona is good enough but barcelona is not as good as another team in UCL. I think that even when barcelona has not yet played a single match didn't matter a lot as long as barcelona keep consistent against MU. MU has become the biggest problem for barcelona caused by this time MU is also performing so well under ten hag.
I expect the result will be draw or MU win the game. You shall remember once barcelona lost against frankfurt last season.

Barcelona finally started to seem like they perform much better in big matches. The Super Cup match between Barcelona and Real Madrid was a very good proof for that. Barcelona showed a solid performance and they got a very reassuring win at the end. This is a big step forward for Barcelona honestly. Because their problems in big matches so far have been their main issue since the beginning of the season. This caused them to have a terrible period in the Champions League as well.

But after seeing this result I'm much more positive about Barcelona against Manchester United in this matchup. We can still watch a competitive matchup of course but Barcelona might have the upper hand on them.

Quote from: Oneandpure
Seems many discussing priority with Manchester United vs Barcelona only and there are still have many matches left for playoff round in Europe League, I don't blame about super big match between Manchester United vs Barcelona in Europe League playoff round but there have many excited match for discussing exactly like Ajax vs Union Berlin, Sevilla vs PSV, Juventus vs Nantes and seems excited with Bayern Leverkusen vs AS Monaco.

I don't know why keep continue with Manchester United vs Barcelona match only as priority here, still left many super big match in Europe League playoff round and we are waiting possibility next round schedule after playoff round finish.
I guess, Juventus Will create more opportunities to win this game than Nantes because, their coach has introduced some tactics that made them to played well in their last game in Italian league competition. There is a big hope for Juventus to win this game if they play like the way they demonstrated in other competitions that made people to believe that they are returning back to first position in this UEFA champions to break record by achieving the trophy in this season. The game between Barcelona and Manchester united will be a tough game because, the two teams has demonstrated well in various competition with the help of their coach but I guess Barcelona still have more opportunity to win this trophy than 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

Yes it's good news that before they actually met, they could do a good upgrade faced by a lot of people. Things like this will be the color of its own for the course of the match later. Unlike in the Champions League, which brought Real Madrid and Liverpool together, for example, Liverpool could not improve their performance, so that caused bad speculation about Liverpool at this time.
Manchester United and Barcelona rarely meet, the last time they met was in 2019 if I'm not mistaken, so this meeting will definitely be eagerly awaited.

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   
Both teams were bad and having issues even both having world-class players which was the biggest issue for them, but suddenly things turn into positive way and now having good results and performance level is also increased which is creating interest for this match specially after Manchester derby now peoples feeling Manchester United is coming back at his best which is surely good signs with Barcelona is having leaders spot in La Liga.

And recently they beat Real Madrid in Spanish Super cup which give good edge to them with these all results now peoples are optimistic about this match and result of this round because hopefully this will give positive development to winner and who could be the winner of the UEFA Europa Cup this is now big question in presence of many big names.

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.

As far as I know, the teams don't have big losses of players, so for now the coaches shouldn't worry about it. Yesterday's game showed that Manchester United did not have a big advantage against Crystal Palace, and this is not the strongest team in the Premier League. The first game of the teams will be played at the Camp Nou, and if you look at the statistics, then Barcelona this season at home lost only to Bayern, so the chances of Manchester United will not be so great.

The Crystal Palace vs Manchester United match, it cannot be a benchmark that United do not have a big advantage against Palace. I know that the draw against Palace was not what Ten Hag expected. however, there is something we have to see in yesterday's match. that in fact, Erik Ten Hag is experimenting with playing their new player Wout Weghorst. Ten Hag used the opportunity to do a trial run when United played Palace, even though he knew that the results would not be optimal. going forward, Ten Hag knows what to do to sharpen his front line.

On the Barcelona side, Barcelona has just won the Supercopa Espana championship trophy. not a trophy that is too special, but what is special is the El Clasino match. Barcelona seems to get fresh air and motivation to win other trophies that they are actually targeting. in the playoffs later, Barcelona has the advantage of playing as the home team. if Barca are able to maintain their performance, like the El Clasico match yesterday. I'm sure Manchester United will find it difficult to topple Barcelona.
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.

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.

The good news is that they are in the best condition by continuing to show improvement in their matches. It's going to be a very interesting game in this Europa League, there's no mistake about it. Many people regretted why they had to meet in this round because they thought they deserved to meet in a higher round, at least in the semifinals. But the draw shows they have to meet now, so it's better to enjoy the encounter even though this is just the play-off round.
I can't say who will win this match, because in my opinion both teams have the same chance to win and get rid of their opponents in this round.
It is this same opportunity that makes the possibility of a match even more interesting, because both of them will attack each other and try to win in the play-off round. And I think this season's Europa League will be much more interesting than last season even though the strong teams met earlier, but some other matches will also be no less interesting like Roma vs FC Salzburg.
There have been a lot of really good clubs coming out of the Champions League this season which makes it all the more interesting.
At least there are some big names apart from Barcelona and Manchester United but there are also Juventus or Ajax. On the other hand, there are a number of teams that are ready to wait, such as Betis, Sociedad, Arsenal and Freiburg. Indeed, this season they have also experienced quite a good improvement, which has made a difference in this season's Europa League.

We do not even have to look that further back, Barcelona lost to Frankfurt last season, who ended up winning it all to be fair, but they did and that's the point. It's not about how close these teams are to each other, sometimes close teams end up having a rough matchup, sometimes one wins very easily. Even more important, sometimes bigger teams lose to smaller clubs and gets eliminated.

So, we have absolutely no idea which one of them will win, we have no idea about any of the teams and whoever will be on the next round. We just try to make guesses and so far it looks like we are going to end up seeing Barcelona winning if we make a guess today, but it could definitely change in a month.

I also hope that the two teams that will compete will be able to field their best squad and that there will not be any problems that come to the players, including minor injuries that are more common in players. I think we can't judge the strength of a team in just one match, one of which is when talking about Manchester United who couldn't win in their match in the English league week. We have to see all the games they've played, how they've improved until now.
What you say is very logical because everyone cannot see the strength of a team in just one match and the draw that Manchester United got against Crystal Palace also cannot be used as a benchmark for whether they are weak or strong. Because when a team is equally aware of their strengths in facing their opponents in different competitions, of course it will make the match more exciting because they will both exert their best abilities.

But about the squad without experiencing obstacles such as serious or minor injuries it cannot be avoided, because in sports, of course, every athlete will experience injury. So, if you say and expect that the key players or main players from the two teams have no problems, then it seems that this will not be possible.
Because even though sometimes the main players can be played in the starting eleven, when they have a history of injuries, these players also won't be able to play full time. Incidents like that are of course a challenge for the coaches and also, I think with these incidents the match will run more interesting to watch.

Indeed, if we talk at this time, of course all the players are still in safe condition, I mean to be on guard because the match is more or less 1 month away, I fear that there will be major players who will be injured ahead of this match. Speaking of matches in the regular league yesterday, I didn't really care about the results, for sure Erik ten Hag will immediately fix all of that to give the best for Man United when they meet Barcelona later.
Both teams want to appear with the perfect squad in the match later. so it's no wonder that injury storms are a scary thing that both teams avoid. Barcelona is very motivated to be able to beat Manchester United in their second meeting next month.

Xavi after successfully presenting the first trophy in the Spanish Super Cup will be a driving force for him to focus on their targets in the Europa League. However, Manchester United is not an easy team for Barcelona because Erik has polished the Manchester United squad to become a very strong team in the current EPL.
