Manchester United vs Villa

The following is an analysis of the Premier League Manchester United vs Villa's match:

Latest information:

Manchester United: 2 wins, 0 draws and 4 losses in the last 6 games, lost to Tottenham 0-1 in the Europa League final, missed the championship, and morale may be affected. Currently ranks 16th and is no longer under pressure to compete for the European War.

Villa: 4 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses in the last 6 games, and is in good shape. Ranked 6th, has the opportunity to compete for the Champions League qualification, and has a strong fighting spirit.

Team Tactics:

Manchester United: Currently Eric Tenhach is still coached, and the 4-2-3-1 formation is often used, focusing on counterattacks. But the new coach Ruben Amorin is about to take office. He tends to have different systems such as the three-guard tactics, but this game is expected to be commanded by Tenghach, and there is little change in tactics.

Villa: The 4-2-3-1 formation is commonly used under Emery's coach. Sometimes it will be adjusted to 4-2-2-2 according to the game situation or the back line will become a three-man structure. The offensive center-left backs are actively invading, and the midfielders cooperate with the forwards to create opportunities.

Injury situation:

Manchester United: De Rigt has a knee contusion, and is expected to end the injury on May 25, and it is doubtful whether he can play; Lisandro Martinez suffered a knee injury and was reimbursed for the season; Harry Maguire missed the last five games due to muscle problems, but had the chance to be selected for the roster of the European Cup in England, and the situation of playing in this game is unknown; Luke Shaw has been absent due to muscle problems in February, and there is doubtful appearance; Casemiro missed the FA Cup final, and the injury situation and whether he can play in this game are uncertain.

Villa: Forward Rashford suffered a hamstring injury and is expected to end on May 23, and there is little chance of playing; there are also reports that Tillermans may not be able to play, but Ramsey has returned from the ban and the overall lineup is relatively neat.

Team's fighting spirit:

Manchester United: There is no important goal pursuit this season, ranking 16th, poor league performance, and the Europa League have not won the championship. The fighting spirit may be insufficient in this game.

Villa: Currently ranked 6th, the best result can replace Chelsea to get the Champions League qualification, the worst may be squeezed out of the top six and there is no European game to play. Every game is very critical and has a strong fighting spirit.

Summary

Villa is better than Manchester United in terms of fighting spirit and recent form, and the injury situation is relatively good. Although Manchester United has certain strength, insufficient fighting spirit may affect performance. Combined with the continued decline in real-time odds, the market's support for Villa has increased. Although Manchester United has a home game, it has been in a sluggish state recently and its defense line is incomplete. Villa is willing to fight for a seat in the European game and has an advantage in offense and defense data.
