Even though they are strong at the moment but we also know their opponent is also a difficult opponent because Barcelona also cannot be considered a loser in this match.
Manchester United's performance has been quite good so far but on the other hand Barcelona is also very good with all the criticism they are receiving now that doesn't stop the fact that they are still very good in terms of current performance.
Their frustration with getting out of the Champions League Zone could be taken out in this play off so it is still a little difficult to predict who will win in this match.
Both are in different performance. When talking about favorites, I prefer Barcelona to win the match. The match results achieved by Barcelona in the domestic league are in a good position. Even though this cannot ensure the final result, from the attack, Barcelona's goal productivity is superior than MU. Hopefully this can be a good provision for Barcelona and get full points.
For me, these two teams have performed equally well this season, so both of them still have a chance to win and advance to the next round. But unfortunately, because last season Barcelona was knocked out by Eintracht Frankfurt, this is a doubt for Barcelona at this moment.
Unless Manchester United is trending unfavorably, then of course Barcelona will still be the favorites to win. But because these two teams are currently improving, especially in their respective local leagues, I will continue to believe that these two teams have the same chance to win because both are big teams which are certainly not weak teams that can be easily beaten at this moment.
