Pre-season Showdown
Key Stats
– Despite their scoring prowess, both teams had a notable number of missed chances per game last season, with United at 1.9 and Dortmund at 2.3.
– Last season, Rashford scored 13 goals and provided 3 assists in the Premier League, making him a strong contender for scoring in the upcoming match.
As the curtain closes on the United States pre-season tour, the English powerhouse Manchester United is set to square off against the German behemoth Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas. The upcoming contest signifies the final test for both teams before their respective competitive seasons kick off in earnest.
Reviewing the Teams’ Summer Friendlies
Manchester United have had a mixed bag of results so far in their pre-season campaign. Following initial victories against Leeds United and Lyon, they carried their momentum into their first stateside match against Arsenal, securing a 2-0 victory. However, they hit a rough patch with a surprising 3-1 defeat at the hands of League Two team Wrexham and a 2-0 loss against Real Madrid. The latter match saw Jude Bellingham and Joselu find the back of the net for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

On the other side, Borussia Dortmund have been relishing their summer outings. Their recent 6-0 demolition of San Diego Loyal took their tally to four friendlies, signalling a robust preparation for the upcoming season.
Transfers and Squad Developments
As we look ahead to the Premier League season, United’s managerial team led by Erik ten Hag is seemingly focused on bolstering their squad. There’s news of a potential addition from Atalanta BC, with a bid for Rasmus Hojlund believed to have been lodged. The club has already made notable acquisitions this summer, with Mason Mount joining from Chelsea and Andre Onana from Inter Milan. However, their lack of a clinical finisher was evident in the defeat against Real Madrid, stressing the need for a new striker.
Fitness Concerns and Potential Lineups
Looking at the player health front, Manchester United’s young talent, Kobbie Mainoo, will likely be sidelined due to an ankle injury sustained against Real Madrid. Meanwhile, the availability of Amad Diallo and Anthony Martial, both nursing injuries, could boost United’s attack.
Manchester United’s likely starting lineup: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Mount, Casemiro, Fernandes; Antony, Rashford, Sancho.
Dortmund, too, are dealing with injury concerns. Julien Duranville and Nico Schlotterbeck, both injured during the San Diego Loyal game, are doubtful for the upcoming match. However, the team will welcome the new recruits Sabitzer, who had a loan spell at United last season, and Nmecha.
Borussia Dortmund’s probable starting lineup: Kobel; Meunier, Sule, Hummels, Ryerson; Can, Sabitzer; Malen, Brandt, Adeyemi; Haller.
The Upcoming Clash and Predictions
Both managers view this upcoming encounter as crucial to their preparations for the new season. The match’s intensity is expected to match that of a regular season game, providing an enticing spectacle.
First Prediction: Match Result – Draw Considering United’s inconsistency this pre-season and Dortmund’s impressive form, the match could end in a draw. The odds for this prediction would likely be offering value for punters.
Second Prediction: Correct Score – 2-2 Analysing both teams’ attacking prowess and considering their recent performances, we could see an evenly balanced, high-scoring game, possibly ending 2-2.
Third Prediction: Goalscorer – Marcus Rashford With Mainoo out and Martial’s return still uncertain, Rashford will likely spearhead the United attack. Given his track record and skillset, he stands a good chance to score at least once in this game.
