Club Brugge – Manchester United, Europa League Prediction

Bruges are moving fairly confidently into the league with 9 points ahead and will play in the cup final, so this season can be exceptional because they have a huge chance of taking both home cups. Of course, don’t expect them to underestimate Europa League. Currently, Bruges has the strength to stand against most teams in the tournament, but whether United is one of those teams remains to be seen. However, the red devils have a much more expensive and high quality squad.

The question for the guests is how serious they will look at the tournament. The problem here is that it is not yet completely clear if they would concentrate entirely in the battle for top 4 or they will try to win make it in all other tournaments. We think, however, that Solskjaer will want his team to have a concentration limit and a mandatory pass in the next phase, which means he can play with most of his first team. United won the Europa League a few years ago, and this should not be forgotten.

 Expert view : We think this match will not be very spectacular, because Bruges’ defense this season, especially in home games, is really stable. This is a serious problem for a team like Man United who cannot rely on their goal scorer, Rashford, until the end of the season and has to rotate at similar times since having a tough and decisive match with Chelsea 3 days ago in the Championship. At the same time, the Red Devils have shown good defense in the Europa League, so our prediction is Under 2.5 goals at 1.80.

Bruges has 6 clean sheets in the last 9 home games

United have conceded only 6 goals in their last 17 games in the Europa League
