LASK Linz vs Manchester United
LASK Linz will host Manchester United’s Red Devils in the UEFA Europa League round of 16 second leg, where the match was held at Linzer Stadion. This match was also the first meeting of the two teams in history and certainly a valuable experience for LASK Linz.
LASK Linz’s journey to reach this round is certainly quite surprising, they look impressive when defeating defending Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven with a landslide score of 4-1 and then also beat the Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon 3 goals without reply.
LASK Linz nicks became their record that since 2018 appeared in the play-offs until the group phase yesterday they always record a victory when playing in front of their own supporters and this is a red signal for Manchester United.
While on the other hand the stronghold of Solskjaer’s team failed to win in the last 2 away trips of the Europa League yesterday, toppled 2-1 against Atalanta and then held to a 1-1 draw by Club Brugge.
But Manchester United’s own strengths are unbeaten in the last 10 matches, picking 7 wins and 3 draws. Whereas their LASK Linz last week fell 1-0 against FC Salzbourg and also only narrowly won 0-1 over SV Mattersburg.
In the competition LASK Linz played in the Austrian Bundesliga while Manchester United at the English Premier League level was one of the world’s best leagues. In terms of the quality of the players and the experience of the hosts are still far behind, this is a difference between them. So most likely Manchester United will beat LASK Linz.
