Manchester United vs Club Brugge prediction comes before the 2nd leg of the Europa League 1/16-finals. This game will be played on Thursday, February 27, at the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester, England. In this match preview, we bring you some very useful betting tips and correct score predictions based on the analysis of these two sides.
Manchester United vs Club Brugge Betting Tips
The first duel between these two teams finished in a 1:1 draw. Club Brugge was the host in that game, meaning that the Red Devils now have an away goal advantage. This means that if the game finishes at 0:0, Manchester United will go to the 1/8-final.
Of course, the fact that the 2nd leg is played at the Old Trafford means that the Red Devils are probably going to go for a win. This team has been in a good form lately, which is certainly giving them a confidence boost ahead of this game. Manchester United is without a defeat in the previous 6 matches in all competitions, winning 4 of those and drawing 2.
What’s got to worry about them is that Club Brugge has also been very good lately. This team is without a defeat since early December when they got defeated by Real Madrid in the Champions League. Speaking of the devil, this team played in the Champions League group stage and got into the 1/16-finals of the Europa League after finishing in the 3rd place in the UCL group.
Club Brugge finished behind Paris SG and Real Madrid, above Galatasaray. Manchester United, on the other hand, didn’t play in the Champions League this season. Instead, the Red Devils played in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League, where they finished at the top of the group table, above AZ Alkmaar, Partizan, and FC Astana.
The fact that the Belgian team has a Champions League pedigree needs to put at least a little bit of fear in Manchester United. Another thing that needs to make them weary is that Club Brugge performed well in the 1st part of the doubleheader. They showed they are really dangerous when it comes to attacking, with their pacey forwards. This makes them more than capable of scoring against the Red Devils. Still, the Belgian team probably won’t be able to outscore Manchester United, especially because the match is played at Old Trafford.
