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

3y ago

This was supposed to be the year United would reestablish themselves as a top four side, but a series of inconsistent performances, and disappointing results means they face the possibility of missing out on Champions League football once again. The Reds find themselves occupying the fifth position on the log, six points off Chelsea in fourth.

Solskjaer will be hoping that the acquisition of dynamic midfielder, Bruno Fernandes from Sporting, and an improvement in performances will just be enough to steal the final qualifying spot from Chelsea.

Wolves, on the other hand, are enjoying life in the top-flight; They have carried on their impressive performances from last season into the current campaign, and are serious contenders for ‘the best side outside the top-six’ tag. Wolves are known for their motivated performances against top sides, and are definitely going to give United two or three things to worry about in this fixture.

Manchester United vs Wolves Team News

Last time out, Manchester United suffered a shock 2-0 loss at home to Burnley, in what was a big blow to their Champions League qualification chances. The hosts fell behind to goals late in the first half, and early in the second half, and despite a flurry of chances, they were unable to mount an unlikely comeback. United’s task was made even more difficult by the absence of talismanic forward, and leading goalscorer, Marcus Rashford.

That defeat saw United slip further behind in the race for champions league qualification, and the Red devils are now six points behind Chelsea in sixth, having amassed thirty-four points from their twenty-four league matches so far.

United are certainly reaping the dividends of their summer defensive revamp with mega deals for center back, Harry Maguire, and fullback, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, although their defending can be suspect at times; They have let in twenty-nine league goals this term, which is sixth best record in the EPL. However, for a side seeking champions league qualification, United need to do more in attack. The reds have scored thirty-six times so far, which simply put, is not good enough.

For all of United’s woes this season, they have been quite decent at home, and have lost at Old Trafford just twice all season, with one of those coming in their last match.

Wolves fell to a 2-1 defeat away to runaway league leaders in their last league outing, as their poor league form continues. The Wolves have now won just once in their last five league matches, but remain as high as sixth on the league table by virtue of their impressive performances this term.

Despite their poor form, Wolves find themselves level on points with United in fifth, and six points behind Chelsea in fourth; They will certainly be fancying their chances of making it to the UCL last season, but will be equally content with qualifying for the Europa League for the second season in a row.

Wolves have flattered to deceive while playing away from home this season. Nuno Santo’s men have won just four away games all season, but will be inspired to pile more misery on Man United.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Man United: Marcos Rojo, Axel Tuanzebe, Scott McTominay, Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford, Nemanja Matic.

Wolves: úben Vinagre.

Man United vs Wolves Predictions

Wolves are a notoriously difficult side to play; hence, it is going to be a long evening for Man United. Wolves have found the back of the net in four of their last five visits to Old Trafford, and you can count on them doing so again. Man United have no trouble finding the back of the net at home; therefore, we are set for goals from both teams.

Man United’s strong home record is the reason I’m tipping them to record a narrow win in this encounter.
