Manchester United vs AS Roma Match Preview

Manchester United comes from a goalless draw against Leeds United in the previous Premier League game. I think the hosts deserved all three points in this match, as they had the upper hand and created a lot of goal-scoring chances. However, luck was not on their side, and failed to score the winner. Solskjaer's side couldn't penetrate well-organized defenses, something that was more than clear once again. Martial is the only missing for tonight's game.

AS Roma, on the other hand, suffered a 3-2 defeat against Cagliari on the road. Fonseca's side had a bad performance, showing to their opponents every weakness that the team suffers from the beginning of the season. Every defensive formation or tactic that Roma has tried so far, can't keep a clean sheet and this usually leads to negative results. However, their attack has a lot of quality this season and helps them stay competitive in most of the games by scoring some goals. The hosts have some key players missing here, like Mancini, Zaniolo, Pedro, and Ibanez.

Europa League is Manchester United's main priority for the rest of the season, and today they face a weaker opponent, at least on paper. I think that Man United can win this match taking advantage to qualify to the final.
