Our Prediction Tip
Manchester United will win this match.
2020-08-0519:00:00 Manchester United will win this match.
The first leg was the first time these two sides had met, and Odion Ighalo, Daniel James, Juan Mata, Mason Greenwood and Andreas Pereira all netted in a 5-0 United win away from home. That match was also behind closed doors.
Manchester United cruised to victory in the first leg of this tie and it would be a huge surprise if they did not do the same in the second leg.
Odion Ighalo was one of the goalscorers in a dominant 5-0 win and he will return to lead the line again in this match.
Juan Mata has been a key player in the Europa League too, and is another of the fringe players set to come into the team.
Mason Greenwood has established himself in the strongest XI and could be rested, but otherwise it could be a similar side to that which won in Linz in the first leg.
As a result, even though it is a second-string United XI, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side will expect to not just seal their progress to the next round but to do so with a big win.
Certainly, there are far tougher ties ahead for United than this one – they thrashed Linz last time they met and, with the Austrian side in poor form too, they can beat them comfortably again.
Man United vs LASK Recommended bets with odds
Manchester United are big odds-on favourites to win this match, at 3/13 with 10Bet.
With LASK in bad form, you can bet against both teams to score at 11/10 with betway.
United have been in free-flowing attacking form in their recent matches in this competition though, and over 2.5 goals will return 8/15 with Betway and Bet365.
Odion Ighalo will lead the United line and he is 20/21 with Bet365 to score at any time.
Manchester United thrashed LASK in the first leg and will expect a similar result in the second, even with a much-changed side.
Odion Ighalo is set to return to the United team for this match, as he tends to do in the Europa League. Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard, Fred, Scott McTominay and Dan James are all among the other fringe players likely to start as United keep their top players fresh. Axel Tuanzebe, Luke Shaw and Phil Jones are ruled out injured, however.
Juan Mata – Likely to lead a much-changed United side, the Spanish playmaker has two goals and three assists in Europa League so far this season.
Odion Ighalo – Scored in each of United’s last two Europa League matches, netting against Club Brugge and also in the first leg of this tie.
Jesse Lingard – Scored on the final day of the Premier League season and now has an opportunity to back that up.
Manchester United finished the season with two wins from their last five games – a slight dip on what had come before, but enough to seal third place in the Premier League. They ended the season with a 2-0 win at Leicester City, in which Bruno Fernandes scored a penalty and Jesse Lingard netted the second very late on.
LASK have Petar Filipovic and Philipp Wiesinger back from the team beaten in the first leg several months ago, but Marvin Potzmann is a long-term absentee and is joined on the sideliens by Thomas Goiginger. In truth, this game has turned into a pre-season friendly for LASK given their 5-0 deficit and they may approach it as such. Klauss’ loan spell has ended and he has been removed from their squad.
Marko Raguz -Scored LASK’s two most recent Europa League goals – part of the 14 goals he has netted so far this season.
Reinhold Rantfl- The wing-back ahs scored seven goas so far this season but also laid on another 11, showing not all of LASK’s creativity comes through Holland and Michorl.
Peter Michorl – The midfield playmaker’s assist record for the season reflects the important role he has played in the middle of the park.
LASK ended the Austrian Bundesliga season with three straight defeats, to Wolfsberger, Rapid Vienna and Salzburg. Klauss’ goal in a 3-1 loss to Rapid was their only goal in that time and they ended with a 3-0 home loss to Salzburg.
