Manchester United take on the visitors Valencia at the Old Trafford in the Round 2 of the UEFA Champions League Group H. The match will be played in Manchester on Tuesday, October 2nd.
Manchester United are in a crisis right now. First of all, the key player of the team Paul Pogba has an ongoing conflict with the manager of the Red Devils Jose Mourinho. Thereby the French midfielder just can not show his best on the field which affects the overall playing style of the English badly. However, despite their problems in their local Premier League Manchester United looked good in their Round 1 fixture of the Group H against Young Boys. They showed a great performance there and won with a 3-0 score confidently. Now the team has no right to show a bad performance in front of their home crowd in the Round 2 game. Furthermore, their upcoming opponent Valencia have been in a bad shape recently. In their last three matches Manchester United lost to West Ham United with a 1-3 score, to Derby County in a penalty shootout in the 1/16-finals fixture of the Carabao Cup and drew against Wolverhampton Wanderers with a 1-1 score.

Valencia have been able to win only once so far this season. That has been a disturbing sign. For example, last season Los Che were able to show decent performances even against Real Madrid or Barcelona. Now they can`t do anything in order to fix the situation they got in. In the Round 1 fixture of the Champions League Group H the team of Marcelino lost to Juventus conceding two penalty goals. Interestingly they played most of that fixture with Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus removed from the field but were unable to score anyway. Both their defensive line and offensive line have been looking bad lately. In their last three matches Valencia beat Real Sociedad with a 1-0 score, drew against Celta Vigo with a 1-1 score and against Villarreal with a 0-0 score.
The last fixture between Manchester United and Valencia happened four years ago, it was a friendly match. The last official game between the teams though happened in 2010. Even though Manchester United have been in a disturbing shape recently Valencia have been looking even worse. Thereby the Red Devils should get the victory in the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win.
