Manchester United

The English side has not yet secured a victory in the main round of the Europa League, ending all three matches in a draw. The Mancunians first shared the spoils with Twente (1:1) at home, then drew away with Porto (3:3) and Fenerbahce (1:1). It's noteworthy that Viktoria Plzen, who shares the 20th place with Manchester United, also exhibited a tendency for draws in this stage of the competition. The club has been unable to secure a win in this tournament for five matches now (4 draws and 1 loss). The club's management has dismissed Erik ten Hag. For the upcoming match, the team will be led by Ruud van Nistelrooy, after which the Mancunians will be taken over by Ruben Amorim, who previously worked with Sporting. - Both teams have scored in 7 out of the last 9 Manchester United's Europa League games. - The English team has only lost once in their last 14 matches in this tournament (8 wins and 5 draws). - The Mancunians have not won in the second 45 minutes in their last five Europa League matches (1 draw and 4 losses).

PAOK

The Greeks have only one point to their name, earned in the last round while hosting Viktoria Plzen. The match ended with a 2:2 scoreline, with Răzvan Lucescu's men coming back from a two-goal deficit, scoring in the last 10 minutes. Before that, PAOK lost away to Galatasaray (1:3) and then at home to FCSB (0:1). - The club has not won in 6 out of their last 8 Europa League games (2 draws and 4 losses). - PAOK has conceded in 13 out of their last 15 away matches in this tournament. - A maximum of one goal was scored in the first half in 10 out of the last 13 of the Greeks' matches in this competition.

Manchester United vs PAOK: Match Prediction

The dismissal of head coach Erik ten Hag has proven beneficial for the English club. The Mancunians thrashed Leicester in the English League Cup (5:2) and also drew with Chelsea in the Premier League (1:1). I am confident that in the Europa League, the team will make every effort to secure a victory, and likely with a comfortable margin. Manchester United currently needs positive momentum to make a mark not just in the Europa League, but also in the championship. At home, the Mancunians have decent statistics in this tournament – in the last 25 matches, they have only lost once in regular time (17 wins and 7 draws). On the other hand, the Greeks show weak football away from home. In their previous 8 away Europa League matches, they suffered 6 defeats. I presume that the English side will take control of the ball from the first minutes and score at least one goal in the first 45 minutes, which should be enough to secure a victory for that part of the match. My prediction is "1st half: Manchester United win" with odds of 1.63. Author:
