Manchester United form and stats

Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the quarter-finals against Barcelona.

The visitors are W8-D5-L6 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Europa League stats, they have 8 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss both home and away. In general it has been a productive period now for Manchester United as they haven't lost any of their last 14 games. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Liverpool game have they lost an away game, meaning Manchester has taken points from seven away matches in a row.

Manchester United go into this game after a win, the home game against København (after extra-time) that ended 1-0. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs LASK Linz.

The 1-0 victory against København (after extra-time) could easily have been bigger as the victors made a valiant effort at breaking the goal posts, hitting them three times.

Manchester have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 19 league away games 26 goals have been scored. 19 goals have been conceded by Manchester United in these games.

Head 2 Head

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
