Manchester United vs Watford English Premier League 28/11/2017

Watford vs Manchester United
Competition: Premier League
Date: 28 November 2017
Kick-off Time: 20:00 GMT
Venue: Vicarage Road Stadium, Watford

 

 

Watford team are aware that now is far more difficult task given that the guests from Manchester occupy at the moment the second place in the table and every point is very important in the race for the top. Manchester United come to Watford after three consecutive defeats away, which is a chance for coach Silva players especially, as in two previous rounds, won West Ham at home 2-0 and Newcastle away 3-0 last weekend.

Player, Troy Deeney, is present for this after serving a three-game ban while, Miguel Britos and Kiko Femenia, are both doubts for this game. Coach, Marvin Zeegelaar's probable lineups, may keep Jose Holebas out, with in-form Will Hughes also expected to retain his starting berth in midfield alongside Aboulaye Doucourè and Roberto Pereyra. In the up front, striker Andrè Gray should continue to lead the line, with Richarlison tucked behind him. In defense, Sebastian Prodl, Christian Kabasele and Adrian Mariappa are expected  to defend Heurelho Gomes' posts. While player: Younes Kaboul, Craig Cathcart, Tommie Hoban, Isaac Success, and Nathaniel Chalobah are all remaining injured.

The guests from Manchester made a good record of 10 wins out of 10 at Old Trafford on Saturday with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Brighton. A win is a win though, and it kept Manchester Uinted in the second place in the Premier League table. Anyway, the team have tasted defeat in three of their last four road trips in all competitions, including their last two Premier League away matches at Huddersfield and Chelsea as well as an UEFA Champions League clash in Basel, Switzerland. The Red Devils have won 9 of their last 10 games against Watford in all competitions but lost by 3-1 in this corresponding fixture last season. Centre-backs, Eric Bailly and Phil Jones, are still doubtful of attending this match, which means that coach, Josè Mourinho, could play with a three main backline formed by players: Marcos Rojo, Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof. Matteo Darmian and Daley Blind are likely to start as wing backs of the 3-5-1-1 system, meaning that Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia will stay on the bench. Coach, Mourinho,may make major changes  up front, where Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial are likely to be rested, allowing Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Juan Mata or Zlatan Ibrahimovic to support a struggling Romelu Lukaku in attack. Ander Herrera, Pual Pogba and Marouane Fellaini are expected to start in the middle of the match, with player, Nemanja Matic, as further option.

Stuttgart vs Borussia Dortmund Bundesliga 17-11-2017

VfB Stuttgart vs Borussia Dortmund 
Competition: German Bundesliga
Date: 17 November 2017

In the first-third of the Bundesliga championship, VfBStuttgart has played almost with the same rhythm and with only one draw at home. In the remaining four games in front of their supporters, Stuttgart celebrated victories, but they lost all six games and only scored three goals. Before the break the team played against HSV away and that was the sixth defeat, where they managed to score one goal in moments, when they were lesser players on the field.

Player, Burnic, was excluded at the very beginning of the match and it was clear then that it would be hard to do something. This feeling was particularly intensified when Stuttgart received the first goal, and then they equalized at the beginning of the second half and it woke up the hope that lasted only ten minutes. The good news of the team was that center-back, Badstuber, recovered and that midfielder Ascacibar completed his suspension, while Burnic will not certainly be in the team from the previously injured players.

Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, is surely one of the teams, which benefited from this short break, because they were in the big crisis before. They made two draws with Nicosia APOEL practically excluded them from the fight for the round of sixteen of the UEFA Champions League, in which they certainly had great ambitions and will now have to contend with UEFA Europa League. Dortmund started well in the championship and then fell incomprehensibly, so they are without a win in the previous four games. From this, the team only played one draw and that was away with Eintracht, where they dropped two goals advantage.

They were defeated at home in two big derbies from Leipzig and Bayern Munich, and completely unexpected by Hannover as guests. Borussia Dortmund have received 12 goals in these four matches and it is clear that they have a problem, so now Bartra and Sokratis are expected, in formation with four in the last line, where Piszczek is missing. Toljan could be in that position, and perhaps Guerreiro plays on the left back. 

Probable Lineups For Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund:
VfB Stuttgart: Zieler – Beck, Baumgartl, Badstuber, Insua – Ascacibar, Aogo – Asano, Akolo, Ozcan – Ginczek
Borussia Dortmund: Burki – Toljan, Bartra, Sokratis, Guerreiro – Sahin, Castro, M.Gotze – Yarmolenko, Pulisic, Aubameyang
