Barcelona vs Man Utd Prediction

Manchester United has to win this match on the road to advance to the semi-finals. This would also be a historic first victory in the Camp Nou. There have been four matches between those two teams in Catalonia of which Barcelona has won three so far and the last time United managed to fly back home with a draw was more than 20 years ago.

After their incredible comeback against PSG, United are with their back against the wall once again. Barcelona is currently 9/4 to win the Champions League. Therefore it is not a surprise that they are favored to win this game. Their most recent performance at Old Trafford was not impressive at all, but they still managed to come out ahead.

Lionel Messi showed a subpar performance and barely had any impact on the game. The single goal in this game was an own goal by Luke Shaw. Despite having the majority of ball possession, Barca didn’t create many of goal scoring opportunities. United, in fact, had more goal attempts, blocked shots and shots off goal.

However, it is pretty unlikely that Barcelona will have another weak performance, especially at home. They lost only one game at home back in November against Betis. Currently, they have been unbeaten for 18 games and are aiming for their third treble. The La Liga season is pretty much over since there are nine points separating them from the 2nd placed Atletico.

Barcelona vs Man Utd Betting

United need to score twice to advance to the next round. A 1-0 would be enough to take the game to extra time. However, I highly doubt that Solskjaer will try to get away with a defensive approach. He’s proven many times that he is willing to take risks and play to win. Beating Barca at home is obviously a tall order, but so was beating PSG. The Spanish side is arguably stronger than PSG but United was without more than 10 players against Paris. This time many of the back then injured players will make it back into the lineup.

Both teams are offensive minded and Man Utd have nothing to lose at this point. Nobody expects them to win against Barcelona and that could be even more motivation for them.

Even though I don’t expect them to win this game, I think they are at least going to score a goal. Both teams to score is currently 8/11 at Betway,which is the most valuable bet for this match. If you are willing to take a higher risk, you can go ahead and bet on X2 at odds of 11/5. However, this is highly speculative and also depends on Lionel Messi. He was rested during the weekend and might play in this game.

Barcelona vs Man Utd Predicted Result: 2-1
