Manchester United flew to Odessa on round 6 match of Europa League against Zorya with the squad, close to the first. The encounter was won by the Red Devils with the score of 2:0, but doesn’t Mourinho risk to lose points in the EPL again by winning secondary match? The next opponents of Manchester United will be Tottenham Hotspur, a team, which also has played its UCL match this week. But unlike Man Utd, the spurs didn’t fly anywhere and the match against CSKA was played a day earlier.
Things aren’t going, as Man Utd would’ve wanted. The Mancunians have played against Everton in the last round and played quite well, but they didn’t manage to win, although Mourinho’s men have been leading through the whole second half.
Tottenham Hotspur have gained some decent shape recently. The spurs have had some fun with Swansea at home, while beating CSKA, 3:1 in Champions League, although were losing to the Army Men 0:1, but managed to show some character and snatched the victory. Tottenham just cannot lose in the upcoming game, as Pochettino is already losing to Manchester City, which are in the Champions League zone.
Tottenham have lost away only once this season, with two victories and 4 draws. Pochettino’s team is in a good shape, while Mourinho used basically first squad for a secondary game. Ibrahimovic, Pogba, Herrera, Rojo and Mkhitaryan may simply fail to recover for the game.
Prediction for the game: Tottenham not to lose.
