Both Manchester United and Club Brugge are coming from a good run ahead of their meeting at Old Trafford in the return leg of the second round of their Europa League tie. Manchester united humbled Watford 3-0 in the run up to this game while Club Brugge were 1-0 winners over Sporting Chaleroi in the Belgian league. The two sides drew 1-1 in the first meeting so this remains a very open encounter. Manchester United are undefeated in their last six matches, since their back to back defeats to Liverpool and Burnley. They have registers five clean sheets in the last six matches, the only side to have scored against them being Club Brugge in the first leg. United’s 3-0 romp over Watford was a show of new found confidence in the team and playing at home will give them the needed confidence in this well balanced tie. United have lost just two of their last 15 home matches and they have not lost any of their last 12 home matches in the Europa League. Actually, they have registered 10 wins in the run and three straight clean sheets ahead of this game. They won four matches at the group stage and the last time they took part in the competition, 2017, United won the title.Heading to this game, Club Brugge will as well hope to go for the kill after the draw at home. They have the form to give them the confidence and they will look at this as a winnable tie. Brugge have no loss in their last 10 matches, winning five and drawing as many. They haven’t scored as many goals as United have but they have done just enough to get results they need; in the last five matches they have won three and kept two clean sheets. They are also unbeaten in five away matches, three of them being draws. Club Brugge dropped to the Europa League after poor run in the Champions League and will hope to have an impact here. Their form in the competition, however, does not favor them a lot. Club Brugge have two wins in 13 Europa League matches. It is not better away from home; they have no win in six, having lost four therein. In their last two away matches in the competition, they conceded seven and scored none, though that was a while back. In their first leg meeting with United, they took a 15th minute lead but that was cancelled in the 36th minute. United’s comeback in that match meant Brugge stay winless over United in three meetings now, having lost two and drawn one.
