Manchester United will win this match.
2020-03-1217:55:00 Manchester United will win this match.
This will be the first time these two teams have met in European competition.
Manchester United have turned their season around, getting back to their best with a run of ten matches unbeaten, including eight clean sheets.
Their injury troubles have eased and they are reaping the rewards – continuing their good form by beating Manchester City at the weekend.
LASK beat AZ to get to this stage and are generally in good form in Austria too, but United – even if they do rotate their squad – should prove a cut above.
Odion Ighalo has scored three times since signing up front, while Mason Greenwood, Scott McTominay, Jesse Lingard and Eric Bailly are all among the options to bring into the starting line-up.
Considering Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford are still out, United have made light work of coping without them – the signing of Bruno Fernandes a key part of that.
LASK have their own dangermen to look out for – Peter Michorl will look to pull the strings in midfield, for example.
But with two of LASK’s centre-backs out suspended, United can tale full advantage and take an aggregate lead back to Old Trafford with them.
Manchester United are favourites to win this first leg and they can be backed at 19/20 to win with 10Bet, Betfair, Ladbrokes and Bet365.
United’s defensive form has been a key part of their resurgence, and you can bet against both teams to score at 4/5 with Betfair.
United to win to nil is 2/1 with Bet365, meanwhile.
At the other end, this is another chance for Odion Ighalo up front and he is a best price of 2/1 with Bet365 and 888sport to score at any time.
Manchester United are in resurgent form, built around a vastly-improved defensive record, and they should return to Old Trafford in firm control of this tie.
LASK are missing two of their three centre-backs for this first leg, with Petar Filipovic and Philipp Wiesinger both suspended, while Marvin Potzmann, Thomas Goiginger and Husein Balic are on the injury list. Christian Ramsebner will be one of the defenders to come into the team and Markus Wostry could be the other.
Marko Raguz -The 21-year-old scored both goals in the second-leg win against AZ and he now has 11 goals in total this season.
Klauss – On loan from Hoffenheim, the striker has scored 17 times in all competitions and could play the role of ‘super sub’ in this game.
Peter Michorl – Has provided a stunning 17 assists so far this season from midfield, as well as scoring five goals of his own.
Klauss scored the only goal of the game and missed a penalty last time out as LASK beat Mattersburg 1-0 to get back to winning ways. Previously, their nine-match unbeaten run in competitive matches had been ended by a 1-0 defeat to Red Bull Salzburg in the cup.
Sergio Romero will be back in goal for this match, while the likes of Eric Bailly, Scott McTominay, Mason Greenwood and Odion Ighalo could all return to the starting line-up too.
Mason Greenwood – The striker has taken his opportunity to shine in a breakthrough season at Old Trafford this season, with the cups providing plenty of playing time and goals.
Odion Ighalo – Opened his Manchester United account in this competition against Club Brugge and has since added two FA Cup goals against Derby County.
Scott McTominay – His return from injury has bolstered the Manchester United midfield and he scored an opportunistic goal to seal derby victory at the weekend too.
Manchester United have stretched their unbeaten run to ten games in all competitions, keeping eight clean sheets in the process. Since they last played in this competition, they have drawn 1-1 at Everton after Bruno Fernandes’ equaliser, beaten Derby County 3-0 in the FA Cup as Luke Shaw opened the scoring and Odion Ighalo struck twice, and then beaten Manchester City 2-0 – Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay netting.
