Manchester Utd vs AC Milan Prediction & Betting tips
You can safely call one of the eighth finals of the Europa League a squatter. Manchester United and AC Milan, two clubs with a rich European past, compete for a place in the last eight. The first leg will be played at Old Trafford.
Manchester United:
Manchester United started this season in the Champions League, where things went wrong in the draw. The Mancunians were divided into a group with RB Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain, two of the last four of the previous edition of the billions ball. Despite this, the English seemed on their way to the knockout stage, but a defeat at little Basaksehir (2-1) threw sand into the bike. The defeat on the final matchday at RB Leipzig (3-2) sealed the fate of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team: the European adventure continued in the Europa League after the turn of the year.
In the previous round, United had surprisingly little trouble with Real Sociedad. After a 0-4 victory in the first leg in San Sebastian, qualification for the next round was in fact already in. The return game was one for statistics; the match in Manchester ended in 0-0. United is one of the favorites to actually win the tournament. The club from Manchester already succeeded in this almost four years ago. With Jose Mourinho still as trainer, Ajax won 2-0 in Stockholm at the time. Then, of course, the tricky cliff called AC Milan must be bypassed. “They are doing very well in the league this year,” United captain Harry Maguire knew. “We know it will be tough competitions.” However, the Mancunians will kick off with confidence after their surprise 0-2 win over city rivals Manchester City last weekend.
AC Milan:
There is certainly no shortage of European trophies at AC Milan. The Milanese won the Champions League / European Cup 1 seven times, and the team won the European Super Cup five times. However, recent years have not been very successful for Milan, which last played in the Champions League in the 2013/2014 season. We often saw I Rossoneri in the Europa League in recent years. That was not very successful. Two years ago, Milan did not even manage to survive the group stage of the second European club tournament. In the Italian league, Milan has never finished higher than fifth place in recent years
This year, however, the red-blacks are doing a lot better. For some time they were the leader of the Serie A list. Milan has now had to give up that lead to rival Internazionale, but coach Stefano Pioli’s team is still in a good shape. Last Sunday, Hellas Verona won 0-2. That victory came about despite the absence of the necessary basic players. Also on Thursday in Manchester, Pioli has to make a line-up without a few strong holders.
