Which Team Has The Best Chances To Win 2020/21 Champions League?

3y ago

A glum week it has been for Manchester United, they were knocked out of the Champions League on Tuesday night after falling to a disappointing 3-2 defeat at the hands of RB Leipzig. At fulltime, the Red Devils headed out of the tunnel with their heads down.

Visibly distraught, Bruno Fernandes fell to his knees as the referee brought the game to a close, confirming his side’s exit from the grandest European club competition. Looking to bounce back from that defeat, expect a strong showing from the Mancunians in this contest.

Just a point away from booking a place in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, United failed to deliver when it mattered most. Choosing to sit back and defend in that decisive European game against RB Leipzig, the Red Devils made the wrong call.

An early Leipzig onslaught saw the German side race to a two-goal lead inside 14 minutes as United’s defense proved to be shambolic. After the restart, super-sub Justin Kluivert added gloss to the score-line to pile on the misery for the visitors.

Attempting a comeback in the final ten minutes, the Red Devils hit the target twice to give themselves a fighting chance. Pressing forward in numbers, Man United chased down that crucial final goal that evaded them, and were eventually made to settle for a 3-2 defeat.

Distraught on that night in the city of Saxony, Solskjaer will be looking to motivate his downcast players to keep their beliefs high. Now relegated to the less attractive Europa League, the Mancunians can focus squarely on the Premier League.

Scheduled to take on cross-town rivals Manchester City this weekend, Solskjaer’s charges will have their work cut-out to salvage a positive result. Granted the Citizens endured a slow start to the PL campaign, but these ones look to have regained their footing.

City have now registered back-to-back league wins to rise to seventh-place on the standings, only a point adrift of their archrivals United. More impressively, they have been in solid form, scoring seven goals and conceding none in that time.

Morale is now sky-high within the Sky Blues’ ranks and there is real belief they can go on to embark on a lengthy winning streak during this busy Christmas period. As Guardiola sets his sights on all three points, expect his boys to deliver a top-drawer performance in Greater Manchester.

Man United vs Man City Predictions

Man United’s weaknesses are being exposed with every single game. Their horrific defense, over-reliance on both Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, and a lack of quality in the goal-scoring department – the list goes on and on.

Coupled with the fact that the Red Devils are low on confidence following their Champions League exit, they have to be considered underdogs. City are beginning to find a level of consistency they had been lacking, which is good news for Guardiola.

It’s true that United have enjoyed a better head-to-head record against City in recent years. Also, Guardiola has never defeated Ole in his managerial career. Still, the Citizens’ recent splendid form should help them to victory to break this jinx.
