In the first round of Group E of the UEFA Europa League, Manchester United and Real Sociedad started a fierce battle in the Stadio Oltford. With 4 consecutive victories, Man U is revitalized and manager Tannhäuser has adjusted his tactics to a steady counter-attack, while Real Sociedad is not an easy target either. In addition, United's poor record against La Liga teams in recent years, the under 2.5 goals handicap is more prudent. (Live on Now 643 at 3am on Friday)
After the frustration of two consecutive defeats in the opening match, Manchester United's manager Tannhäuser adjusted his tactics to a steady counter-attack, defending well first and then looking for counter-attack opportunities. This strategy paid off immediately, winning the last 4 matches, including defeating Liverpool and Arsenal, and conceding only two goals. This "formula" really works, and the players' confidence has been boosted.
Magouni's positive debut, stable mindset
United's captain Magouni, Cron and Harry are expected to start, especially Magouni's recent fluctuating performance, and he will give his best in his rare positive start, following Tannhäuser's tactical deployment and not daring to shoot indiscriminately. The newly joined defense center Kasimiru can also strengthen the defense, and with their recent performance, they have the ability to withstand the attack of Real Sue.
The Royal Su this summer striker Alexandre Ishak and wing Zanussi left the team, the attack has a certain impact. Their last four games 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, one of the defeat against Barcelona, the remaining three games to maintain 2 goals or less, including the last draw against Atletico Madrid, solid defense, tonight's away game will not rush to attack, is expected to be cautious.
Looking back at the last 4 times Manchester United faced La Liga teams, they won 2, drew 2 and kept 2 goals or less in legal time, one of the home games against Real Sociedad was a draw. Now that the group stage has just begun, both sides are likely to focus more on defense, and the underdogs may be more worthwhile.
