Tip: Barcelona to win in extra time: 17/2 BetVictor
Manchester United host Barcelona with their Europa League playoff tie still in the balance after a 2-2 draw at the Camp Nou. It promises to be a pivotal week for Erik ten Hag’s side. Sunday saw a Premier League win over Leicester City and this is followed by the Barcelona tie in midweek, with a Wembley showdown with Newcastle United on Sunday February 26. The Red Devils played well in the Camp Nou and will be hopeful of progressing.
Xavi Hernandez’s Barcelona have improved throughout the season, but despite conceding very few goals in La Liga, defensive frailties have cost them in Europe. The tie is still very much in the balance, however Sergio Busquets is unlikely to be available again, and the midfielder was a massive miss in the first leg. Pedri is an injury doubt and Gavi is suspended. They head to Manchester on the back of a La Liga win over Cadiz at the Camp Nou on Sunday.
