Manchester United vs PAOK Betting Tips: Man Utd to Win / Over 1.5 Goals
Ahead of the arrival of Sporting boss Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils face their penultimate fixture under the tenure of interim boss Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
Having drawn each of their first three Europa League fixtures, Manchester United will be desperate to claim a first victory when they face PAOK on Wednesday. The Red Devils were held to stalemates against Twente (1:1), Porto (3:3) and Fenerbahce.
Since the departure of former boss Erik Ten Haag, Van Nistelrooy´s men claimed a comfortable 5:2 win in the League Cup against Leicester last week before being held to a 1:1 draw against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Historically, United have a decent home record in this competition, and they should see this fixture as a must-win after their slow start to this year´s revamped league stage.
PAOK make the trip to Old Trafford having endured a mixed run of form in recent weeks. The Greeks failed to win six of seven matches before back-to-back domestic victories against Lamia and Egaleo in the past week.
Răzvan Lucescu´s side have struggled to find much form in this competition, with just one point collected from three fixtures against Galatasaray, FCSB and Viktoria Plzen.
On the road, the Greeks tend to struggle on the European stage, and given United´s improved performances under Van Nistelrooy, I expect the hosts to claim the spoils on Thursday.
A home win with at least two goals scored should prove the best bet at Old Trafford.
Manchester United team news
Interim boss Van Nistelrooy remains unable to call on several first-team players on Thursday. Christian Eriksen, Mason Mount, Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire are among seven expected absentees.
