Manchester United hosts AZ Alkmaar in round 6 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, December 12th at Old Trafford (Manchester)
Old Trafford hosts a worthy opponent. The Red Devils achieved an advantage in the group, gaining 10 points. Having outranked the closest competitor by one tournament point, Manchester United even gave three points to the Kazakhs from Astana, fielding the weakest combination of players in a match that was not decisive for the British. Thanks. Now we are aware that Manchester United has an extreme combination of performers that may lose to anyone. However, those meetings in which the Red Devils earned three points did not please the fans wish scoring. But they stand out for high reliability. Sulscher’s men didn’t concede a single goal, and if not for Astana, the club could become the most reliable team in the group stage.

The Cheeseheads of Arne Slot performed the task perfectly. The representatives of the Netherlands have no defeats at all. All the games played by the club at the group stage of the tournament were, firstly, productive, and secondly, the defense of AZ showed miracles of mutual understanding and backup. It is worth noting that the advantage of the home field or the away factor in no way affects the players of Alkmaar. The club did not lose in the most difficult, responsible and principled confrontation with the main competitor in the group, Manchester United (0:0). The title of the most scoring team in the group will serve as a small consolation to AZ, but all 15 goals perfectly characterize Slot’s team – purposeful and full of ambitious masters, striving to show their best side in every match with any opponent.
Both the Red Devils and the Cheeseheads held a dignified group stage of the tournament, having received the deserved right to perform in the playoffs of the Europa League. Therefore, the rivals will hold a friendly match, which will be full of curtsies and “a thousand apologies...” There is no need to arrange total pressure or hold a match at the highest possible speeds. With a high degree of probability, the Red Devils will again field all their reservists. AZ will not stand aside and rotate the squad in the same way. Given the recent successes of clubs in the local arena, it is worth choosing a bet on mutual scoring. The first match not only did not reveal the winner but also didn’t please the observers with goals scored, and this is extremely unfair, but the situation is likely to change in the upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
