May 21, football competition relegation redemption battle: Tottenham Manchester United fights to the death in the Europa League, Mezlance s ultimate counterattack in Ligue 2!

006 Metz vs Lance

The team situation

If you want to talk about the most eye-catching team in Ligue 2 this season, Metz is the one! This French League team finally entered the upgrade playoffs as 3rd. In the last 10 games, they only suffered 1 defeat, with an unbeaten rate of up to 90%. This state can be called "hacked"! The offensive end was full of firepower, hitting 26 goals in 10 games, averaging 2.6 goals per game, just like an invincible "bulldozer". Especially their home court, it can be called "Devil's Home" - only 1 defeat in the last 15 home courts, averaging 2.18 goals per game, which is definitely the "Home Dragon" in Ligue 2! In the last round of the playoffs, Metz even scored Dunkirk with a 1-0 home advantage and advanced to the finals. But as the saying goes, "Success is both Xiao He and failure is both Xiao He". Although their radical style of play makes the offensive unstoppable, it also lays hidden dangers: when attacking, all the players pressed up, resulting in the often empty space in the defense line, and the defensive end is like "paper-made", and it is very easy to be broken when facing a team with sharp counterattacks.

Mes

In contrast, his opponent Lance, as the Ligue 1 team last season, was relegated to the 16th place in the league this season. Recently, he suffered three consecutive losses and his morale fell to freezing point. The offensive end is silent and the defensive end is full of loopholes. This performance is "eye-hit". But don't forget that the lean camel is bigger than a horse. As a retired Ligue 1 team, Reims's foundation remains. For them, this upgrade play-off is not only a "battle of redemption" but also a chance to prove themselves. Once Metz is caught and fights back, this old-fashioned powerhouse may stage a good show of "salted fish turnaround" at any time. Especially the weakness of Metz's slow turn in the back line and large gaps in the ribs, which just gives Lance a fast horse winger room to play - as long as you seize one or two counterattack opportunities, Lance can instantly turn the situation around.

Result prediction

Overall, Metz's offensive firepower is indeed terrifying, but the defensive hidden dangers are like "landmines" buried under their feet, which may be detonated by Lance at any time. Although Lance is in a sluggish state, he is under the psychological pressure of "relegation dignity" and can often burst out with stronger combat power in desperate situations. Combined with the relationship between institutional data and tactical restraint, Lance is more optimistic about unbeaten away in this game.

007 Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

Team situation

Tottenham Hotspur created by Strogro continues the passionate style of "high press + wing attack". Under the 433 offensive formation, the defense line often presses to the central circle. The offensive firepower averaged 2.3 goals per game in the Europa League is very impressive, and the data of 10 counterattacks ranks second in the Premier League. : Son Heung-min (12 goals in the UEFA Cup) breakthrough is like a sharp knife being drawn. Solank's heading fulcrum is a significant role, and Polo's cross from the wing is even more threatening. Madison, Kulusevsky and Berrival's three midfield cores were collectively injured, and the team's creativity dropped sharply; what's more serious is that they have conceded 30 goals in set-piece defense this season, which just gave Manchester United's B Fee and Eriksen an opportunity to take advantage of. Although Son Heung-min's form has fluctuated this season, the forward combination composed of Sorank and Johnson is still sharp. The three of them contributed 12 goals and 6 assists in the Europa League. Their speed-based playing style may become a key weapon to break through Manchester United's defense.

Tottenham Hotspur

, and Manchester United showed strong resilience in the UEFA Cup and has maintained an unbeaten record so far. Fel B (7 goals and 3 assists) is undoubtedly the team's offensive core. Garnacho's wing speed impact and Casemiro's midfield interception constitute an important hub for the team's offensive and defensive transformation. Through the cross-border transmission of the three-center-back system, Tottenham defenders' assist space was suppressed, and at the same time, Maguire and Casemiro's high-altitude advantages were used to focus on attacking Tottenham's set-piece defense loopholes. If Zilkerze (4 goals and 3 assists in the Europa League knockout stage) returns in a timely manner, his retracement support will be perfectly complementary to Hoylen's impact. The main defenders such as Dricht, Dalot, and Lima were injured. The central defender combination composed of Maguire and Lindelof was slow to turn. Facing the lightning assault from Tottenham's winger group, the gap in the defense line and the gap in the ribs may become a breakthrough for being broken.

Manchester United

Result prediction

Three matches this season, Tottenham has an absolute psychological advantage: it beat Manchester United coached by Tenhach 3-0 in the first leg, narrowly defeated Amorin's debut 4-3 in the League Cup, and won 1-0 in the last round of the league. But it is worth noting that in the first two wins, Madison and Kulusevsky teamed up to score 3 goals (42.9%), while both of the midfield cores were absent due to injuries in this game, and Tottenham's midfielder faced an embarrassing situation of "no one available". Although Manchester United's defense is incomplete, its stable performance of 8 unbeaten in the UEFA Cup (5 wins and 3 draws) cannot be ignored. Judging from the data, the two teams performed equally in the European competition (Spurs per game with 1 goal and Manchester United 0.88 goals), and the difference is that Spurs has more impact on the offensive end.
