Man Utd v Lask Linz Europe League

Manchester United’s quest for Europa League glory resumes on Wednesday evening when they host LASK Linz in the round of 16 second leg match

MANCHESTER UNITED

Man United crashed Linz in the first leg as they ran out 5-0 winners in Austria with five different players getting on the scoresheet in that game.

United have had a relatively successful season in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer first full campaign. They finished third in the EPL behind Liverpool and neighbours Man City. They also lost to Chelsea in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

With the fans baying for a piece of silverware, Man United have seemingly turned their focus on this trophy which they incidentally won in 2017 with Mourinho. They were outstanding in the group stages. They brought that form in that 5-0 first-leg win and will be looking to seal the deal when Linz come visiting.

LASK LINZ

Despite entering the lockdown top of the Austrian league, Lask Linz resumed the season sluggishly and went on to win just two of their last 10 games to finish fourth in the league. As a result of this poor run of results, their coach Valerien Ismael was given his marching orders and replaced by Dominik Thalhammer.

This will be Thalhammer first competitive match since his appointment and he will certainly be keen to put up a good first impression, especially on the defensive end. While turning the tie around is virtually impossible now, he can at the very least save some of their pride and dignity with a better performance than they had in that first leg.

Possible Line Ups

MATCH PREVIEW AND BETTING TIPS FOR MAN UNITED V LASK LINZ

Man United have not lost at home in the Europa League in their last 13 games, winning 11 and drawing two. With a commanding 5-0 lead from the first leg, Ole is expected to ring some changes and give a breather to some of his big guns as they look to make a deep run in the competition. They’ll still have a healthy mix of some starters and perhaps blend in a few players from the youth team. Despite Lask’s terrible run of results in recent matches, a weakened United squad will certainly make this a lively encounter that should see goals scoring opportunities for both teams and we are backing both teams to score @ 2.05 on Blackbet as our initial betting tip for this game.

In spite of the expected tinkering of their lineup, United are still the favourite to win this game. The quality they have even with a second-string side should still be enough to carry them through. The players will also be keen to showcase what they can still offer with crucial decisions regarding transfers set for the end of the season. Blackbet have an interesting combo bet of a Double Chance Man United or Draw and 3+ goals priced at 1.56. We quite fancy this option as our last betting tip for the game.
