Porto vs Manchester United Prediction: the Devils Might Lose Points

Prediction for the Europa League match between Porto vs Manchester United, which will take place on October 3rd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Porto

Porto had a pretty disappointing year in the home premiership. They finished third, which was 18 points behind the winner. On the other hand, they also won the National Cup, beating Sporting 2:1 in the final, and didn't let them get revenge in the Super Cup – 4:3. So they still won two trophies in recent months. On top of that, the team has had a solid start to the new season, with six wins in seven rounds, putting them in second place in the standings. However, their first Europa League match was a bit of a bummer, with a 2:3 loss to Bodo-Glimt in the first leg.

Manchester United

Manchester United is still doing pretty poorly. Over the last couple of years, it's seemed like there's no doubt Erik ten Hag will be sacked as head coach of the Devils. At the same time, the Dutchman got a bit of a break with the last FA Cup win, but it was short-lived, as his team's performance in the new season didn't bode well. In the first six rounds of the national championship, the visitors only managed to win two games, drew once, and lost three, so they're currently sitting in 13th place. On top of that, the English team couldn't get the better of Twente in the opening match of the Europa League, ending the game at Old Trafford with a 1:1 draw.

Expert Betting Tips

Manchester United has had a challenging start to the season. In the last seven games, the Devils have only two victories. These were against Southampton, which has just returned to the EPL and is the main outsider of the tournament, and Barnsley, who is from the third-strongest English division. In the opening round of the Europa League, Erik ten Hague's team didn't defeat even Twente. It'll be even more challenging to face Porto at the Dragão. The Blues and Whites are gradually picking up steam, and they're powerful at home, where they've won all four games this season. 

We can look forward to an exciting match. Porto scored 15 goals in their last four games (3.75 per game), while Manchester United scored and conceded 21 goals (3.00 per game) in the previous seven games. Both teams have had a solid run. Additionally, the Blue and Whites have managed 11 goals in their last four home games (2.75 per game).
