Date: Thursday, 16 February 2023 |
Kick-off: 18:45 |
Venue: Camp Nou |
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Manchester United total goals: Over 0.5 — 1.46
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Total goals: Under 2.5 — 2.16
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Draw either half: YES — 1.56
Although Barcelona have kept 17 clean sheets in La Liga this season so far, they are unlikely to keep a clean sheet against Manchester United because the Red Devils have scored at least one goal in all but three of the matches they have played this season so far.
This game is likely to end with less than three goals because only two of Barcelona’s last six matches ended with over 2.5 goals and only one of their last five home matches in all competitions ended with over 2.5 goals.
Because Barcelona have struggled to score goals in recent weeks, there’s a chance at least one half could end in a draw. Barca’s last match against Villarreal, one half ended as a draw. Manchester United’s last game against Leeds United, the first half ended as a draw, hence draw in either half in this tie is possible.
The Catalans are in superb form, having won their last five La Liga matches at least. They boast wins over Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid in La Liga this season already but they fell short in the Champions League last year, having finished behind Bayern Munich and Inter Milan in the group stage. They will look to make up for that in the Europa League as they face Manchester United in the round of 32. Barcelona, who have only conceded 7 goals in the league, are at the top of La Liga with 56 points after 21 matches.
The Red Devils bounced back to winning ways last weekend when they beat Leeds United 2-0 away from home in the Premier League. Manchester United are also in top form, having won five of their last six matches across all competitions. Yes, Barcelona have kept at least 17 clean sheets this season so far but Man United have scored at least two goals in each of their last seven matches. The clash will present both sides to display their defensive and attacking prowess. United, in the Premier League, are in the 3rd position with 46 points after 23 matches.
We say Barcelona 1-1 Manchester United. Barca are compact at the back, Manchester United are superb going forward and both teams are in top form currently. There’s a chance this game could finish as one of those entertaining draws.
Both teams to score but both teams to share the spoils.
This game could produce less than four goals.
