Thursday night sees Manchester United host Omonia Nicosia at Old Trafford in Group E of the Europa League as the Red Devils attempt to consolidate their position in the group’s top two.
The Red Devils head into this clash on the back of a hard-fought 2-1 win at Everton. The victory means that Erik Ten Hag’s team has won three of their last four games in all competitions and scored at least two goals in each of their last four competitive outings.
United are currently in second place in Group E, having won two of their three matches, including winning the reverse fixture 3-2. The Red Devils have also won six of their previous nine matches in the Europa League.
The men from Manchester have lost just one of their last 20 home games in the Europa League. A 1-0 defeat by Real Sociedad in gameweek one ended a 19-match unbeaten run on home soil for United in the Europa League.
As expected, Omonia Nicosia has been the weakest team in the group. The Cypriot team has suffered defeats in all three group games this season in the Europa League.
They have also lost four of their last six games in the competition. It seems highly unlikely that they will qualify for the knockout stages of the Europa League.
Omonia Nicosia has found away wins difficult to come by, as they have won just one of their previous eight matches on their travels in the Europa League. Four of their last six away games in the Europa League have produced over 2.5 goals. Their last seven away matches in the competition have all produced at least two goals.
Forebet predicts that Manchester United will cruise to another victory in the Europa League and strengthen their position in the group.
