As this is Man United there is more media attention than ever of the tiny Granada side, a team who have played most games in Europe, and even if they have missed even more than 10 players in several games they have reached until this far and are also this high still in their own league, 10th with 36 points gained.

All is good then ahead of this match which they call their biggest in their history, and the city has been awaiting this madly since the draw was made.

Well let us see the true class of Granada, and the injury situation.

The expected goal models in general suggest that Granada are one of biggest overperformers, and they have deserved something like 30 points, which would make then in the xPts-table second from the bottom, only ahead of Elche!

The results in league have dropped. One reason is that they are regressing to the mean - they are getting about what they deserve instead of the huge luck in results. Another one is the injury situation which still sees half a dozen players out, mostly the best attacking ones. And finally, as the points do allow them breathing space they have concentrated more in these European games. They have qualified by winning Napoli who were a lot weakened, and also very unlucky with scoring, and by Molde who are class-wise not even close to La Liga, yet were in huge troubles in the second leg and lost it.

Last week's home loss v Villarreal was good benchmark for this, they were outplayed at every department, and tonight the opponent just gets a lot stronger!

Man Utd did destroy Real Sociedad on their way here, and it was partly the naivety and bravery of Sociedar hazardous high press, but also a sign of their quality.

In EPL they have been recently strong, and also the only team who have beaten Man City! And deservedly!

There are a few injuries and doubts at United camp, and even if they do weaken the lineup massively itself they may mean that Solskjar is thinking ahead of the weekend's clash v Tottenham and may do some changes, even experiments.

For that reason I am not super enthusiastic about this away win, they might be happy with a so called good result, away goal.

Not going to into more detail this time. There are several decent players in the Granada starting lineup. The keeper Rui Silva has been exceptional, wingers Machin and Kenedy can surprise, defenders Diaz and Sanchez are reliable.. but upfront they need to rely on veterans like Soldado.

Away win, but not necessarily by a big margin in this first leg.

因为这是曼联有比以往更多的媒体关注的小俱乐部格拉纳达，格拉纳达在西甲目前排名第10。

在这场他们称之为历史上最大的比赛之前，一切都很好，格拉纳达整个城市就疯狂地等待着这场比赛。

好吧，让我们看看格拉纳达真正的等级，以及伤情。

总的来说，预期目标模型表明格拉纳达是表现最好的公司之一，他们应该得到30分左右的分数，在xpts表中倒数第二，仅次于埃尔切!

联赛的结果已经下降。一个原因是，他们正在回归均值——他们得到的是他们应得的结果，而不是巨大的运气。另一个原因是伤病问题，目前仍有6名球员缺席比赛，其中大部分是最好的攻击型球员。最后，由于积分给了他们喘息的空间，他们在欧洲比赛中更加集中精力。他们通过击败那不勒斯而晋级，那不勒斯实力被削弱，而且在进球上也很不走运，而莫德的实力与西甲相差甚远，但在第二回合却陷入了巨大的麻烦并输掉了比赛。

上周主场输给比利亚雷亚尔就是一个很好的基准，他们在各个方面都被击败了，今晚的对手变得更强了!

曼联在来这里的路上确实摧毁了皇家社会，部分原因是社会的天真和勇敢，但也体现了他们的素质。

在英超，他们最近很强大，也是唯一击败曼城的球队!和当之无愧!

曼联有一些伤病和疑虑，即使他们削弱了阵容，这也意味着索尔斯克亚在周末对热刺的比赛前正在考虑，可能会做一些改变，甚至是试验。

这次就不讲更多细节了。在格拉纳达的首发阵容中有几个不错的球员。守门员鲁伊·席尔瓦表现出色，边锋梅钦和肯尼迪能给人惊喜，后卫迪亚兹和桑切斯可靠。但首先，他们需要依靠像索尔达多这样的老兵。

总体来说，我看好曼联能够客场赢球。
