Today’s hosts started confidently in the group stage of the Champions League, where the team managed to come out on top, being ahead of Atalanta, Villarreal and Young Boys in the group. The first game in Madrid was held in an equal fight, while teams scored only three shots on target for two. Approximately equal statistical indicators and an equal composition brought a natural draw (1:1). The start of the team in the English League Cup and the FA Cup was unsuccessful, where the Mancunians flew out already at the start, losing in the penalty shoot-out to Middlesbrough (1:2). In the Premier League championship Ralf Rangnick has 14 wins and eight peaceful outcomes after 29 rounds, which brought them 50 points and fifth position in the standings. After a draw and defeat from Manchester City (1:4), the Red Devils beat Tottenham Hotspur (3:2) at home. The line of attack looks good, which differed 48 times. Greenwood, McTonominay, Shaw and Fernandes, who has coronavirus, will not be able to play today.
Washington, on the contrary, shows practically no tangible signs of life and it is already clear that in the end it will be left with nothing. Not so long ago the metropolitan team caused a lot of problems to skillful competitors and now it periodically loses even to outsiders. The guys still have a ghostly chance of reaching the play-in, but the likelihood of a sad development of events is much higher.
