FC Porto - Manchester United Odds, Tips and Prediction

[Branchen]

After two days of Champions League football, we are on to the lesser European tournaments tonight. However, that doesn't mean that we don't have some exciting matches ahead of us. The prime one is in the Europa League between two former Champions League winners in FC Porto and Manchester United. 

The Portuguese powerhouse are favourites at home at odds 2.30 at Bet365, while Manchester United are priced at odds 2.90. 

When looking at this match, it is difficult, nearly impossible, to be optimistic on Man United's behalf. They are entering this match as a team in a deep crisis, and my Porto - Man Utd prediction is therefore FC Porto (0) at odds 1.67 at Bet365. This asian handicap line is the same as betting on the draw-no-bet market, but the payout and odds is slightly higher. 

I'm putting my money on Porto here since they have only lost once at home at Estadio do Dragao in 2024. They have defeated big clubs like Arsenal and Shakhtar Donetsk here recently, and have also won all of their home matches this season. 

Man United on the other hand have played three matches in a row without winning and are looking lost. They were demolished at home to Tottenham in the weekend, and have won just three of their last nine matches. Manager Erik Ten Hag seems doomed and like a person who is running out of ideas. To make things worse for United, they have only scored five goals in the league so far this season and have only scored in two of their five league matches. 

Since United have a packed schedule, I'm also expecting them to give a few back up players the chance in this match. We saw that against Twente in the first round where Christian Eriksen started for example.

Man U is setting the bar lower and lower for themselves with every match. This is just painful to watch.

Against Villa it was a draw. 0-0.
