Manchester United Preview – Red Devils to extend unbeaten run?
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United will still be buzzing from the weekend win at the Etihad Stadium. United went into the derby game against Manchester City as the big underdogs, but the Red Devils beat their rivals 2-0 thanks to goals from Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw.
Man United have been very hard to beat this season. Since the embarrassing 6-1 home league loss to Tottenham Hotspur at the start of the Premier League campaign, Ole boys have lost just six games in all competitions.
In the previous round of the Europa League, United eased past Spanish side Real Sociedad. A 4-0 win in Turin did the business, with Bruno Fernandes helping himself to a brace. The 2nd leg in Manchester ended goalless.
Milan are still one of Europe’s powerhouses, but Man United will certainly back themselves in this 1st leg on home turf. The bookies have the home win priced at just 8/13.
AC Milan Preview – Can Milan leave Manchester with a positive result?
Stefano Pioli’s AC Milan are having a fine season in Serie A. With 12 games to play, the Red and Blacks sit second with 56 points to their name, six points behind rivals Inter Milan. Getting back into the UEFA Champions league will be number one priority this season.
Milan have been solid on the road all season, losing just two away fixtures in all competitions. However, both of those defeats have come in 2021. After a 2-0 loss at Spezia a few weeks back, though, Rossoneri have gone on two win two and draw one of three away games.
