FC Porto vs Manchester United Predictions & Betting Tips

A struggling Manchester United side travels to FC Porto on Thursday, 3rd October for the second round of the Europa League ties.

The experts here at BettingOnline have been hard at work discussing their predictions and providing their tips for you ahead of the game. To find out what they think, keep reading below!

FC Porto

Porto has had an impressive start to the season, losing just one of their opening seven league games.

It was, however, a loss last time out in the Europa League, as Vitor Bruno and his side found themselves on the losing end of a 3-2 scoreline against Norweigan side Bodø/Glimt.

The Portuguese side will be looking to take advantage of Man United’s weaknesses and inflict yet another defeat on the side in a bid to secure a vital three points.

Manchester United

Erik ten Hag’s side are struggling once again this season after conceding three goals for a second time this season against Tottenham on the weekend. This comes just two matches in the league after doing the same at home against Liverpool and after a 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.

Despite a 7-0 victory in the league cup, United followed this with two draws, including last time out in the Europa League versus FC Twente.

The Red Devils now go again in the second round against slightly tougher opponents in FC Porto, who were defeated last time out.
