Manchester United and AC Milan will face off at Old Trafford in the first leg of the Europa League last-16 round on Thursday. The kick-off is at 18:55 CET.

Preview

For the first time in their history Man United and Milan will take on each other in the EL. The two European giants are more accostomed to playing in the Champions League but no one can deny their current state.

Nevertheless, the Red Devils will play hosts to the Rossoneri on the back of a surprising 2-0 victory in the Manchester derby over the weekend that simultaneously ended United's three-game winless run and Man City's outstanding 21-match winning streak. On the other hand, United are still second in the Premier League table, 11 points adrift of Pep Guardiola's side.

Stefano Pioli's side, in turn, have endured a rather poor run of form in the past few weeks as Milan have only won two out of their last seven matches across all competitions. One of the main reasons behind the Rossoneri's misfortunes has been the injury absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic who will also miss the trip to his former club. 

Ismael Bennacer, Hakan Calhanoglu and Ante Rebic are also unavailable for the visitors through respective injury woes.

While David de Gea, Paul Pogba and Juan Mata will definetly miss the forthcoming clash, Marcus Rashford, Edinson Cavani and Donny van de Beek all remain doubtful.

Prediction

Considering United's victory at the Etihad on Sunday and Milan's recent dip in form, we'd say that the hosts are slight favourites to claim a positive result on Thursday. Still, Pioli's tight defence could prove to be an insurmountable obstacle for the Red Devils who often struggle against teams with a low-block system.

Tip

Manchester United to win and total under 3.5 at 2.36 with 1XBET.
