SSN BET - Match of the Day: Manchester United - PSG / 12.02.2019
Hello! It is time for the first matches of the 1/8 Champions League. During the break, Man United has turned from an outsider into a favorite in the confrontation with the French PSG. Neymar will once again not help his team in important matches and this will clearly be a plus for United.
MANCHESTER UNITED
Manchester United could not win the group, finishing behind Juventus with eight points in the asset. Nevertheless, for Manchester United, Jose Mourinho, even such a result could be considered a great success, because the team at that time did not show quality football. With the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjær, the situation has changed dramatically - the Red Devils have not lost 11 matches in a row. Now the finish in the Champions League zone for Manchester United no longer looks like a pipe dream - while they are fourth, but have more to match than their main competitor Chelsea. On Saturday, Solskjær's team defeated 3-0 at a party Fulham and goes to a duel with PSG in a great mood. They will definitely not play with the French Matteo Darmian, Antonio Valencia and Marcos Rojo.
PSG
PSG got into a very difficult group, where Napoli and Liverpool also fought for a place in the playoffs. As a result, the team of Thomas Tuchel, along with the British, made her way to the playoffs, where they would confront another English grandee. In the Ligue 1 table, Parisians occupy the first place and the gap from the second Lille is 13 points, despite the fact that PSG has a game in reserve. In recent matches, the team of Thomas Tuchel looks quite modest - a 1-0 victory over Bordeaux, 0-0 in the main time in the French Cup with a little-known Villefranche and defeat from Lyon 2-1. The big loss for PSG is the absence of Neymar, which may have an impact on recent results, and Marco Veratti is also unlikely to be able to recover for the game.

So let's summarize. Manchester United with the arrival of Solskjær noticeably changed, began to play the main stars of the “red devils”, which, when Mourinho did not show his best football.
