Fenerbahce vs Manchester United: Europa League Match Prediction

In the central match of the third round of the Europa League on October 24, Fenerbahce will play Manchester United. Will Jose Mourinho be able to surprise his former team with something today? We suggest you read our forecast and choose the exact bets

Command Analysis

Fenerbahce

Current form
Fenerbahce played two difficult matches in the Europa League. First, they managed to win 2:1 at home against Belgian Union. Then there was an away draw 1:1 with Twente, where they managed to come back thanks to a goal from Tadic at the end.
Jose Mourinho men are not doing well in the domestic Super League. After eight matches played, the team has 17 points and is only in fourth place. The leading Galatasaray has 25 points, although it has played one match more. This is clearly not the result that the fans expected from the Portuguese specialist. In the last round, Fenerbahce was unable to beat Samsunspor away (2:2), and they conceded the second goal from their opponents at the very end.
Disqualifications and injuries
Egribayat, Osayi-Samuel and Yuksek will not play today due to injuries. Under appearance on the field is in question.
Interesting trends for betting
- Fenerbahce previous five Europa League games have seen no more than three goals scored
- The team has scored in 14 of its last 14 matches in the Europa League
Probable line-up : Livakovic – Muldur, Bekao, Djiku, Osterwolde – Amrabat, Fred – Kahveci, Shimansky, Tadic – Dzeko.

Manchester United

Current form
In the two rounds played in the Europa League, Manchester United did not win a single game. At the start, there was a home draw with Twente (1:1). Then, in an unpredictable match, the Mancunians drew with Porto (3:3). In that meeting, the Red Devils were leading 2:0 by the 20th minute, but lost their advantage and eventually snatched a draw only in the 91st minute after a goal by Maguire.
The fate of Erik ten Hag is clearly hanging by a thread, with rumours swirling in the press about a possible successor. However, in the last round of the Premier League, Manchester United achieved an important victory over Brentford (2:1), breaking a six-match winless streak in all competitions. In the Premier League table, the Red Devils are in 12th place, having collected only 11 points in eight rounds.
Disqualifications and injuries
Manchester United have a lot of losses in their squad. Malasia, Mainoo, Yoro, Shaw and Maguire are all out due to injury. Fernandes is suspended. Mount is in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Manchester United have not won in the first half in their last four matches
- In six of United last eight Europa League games, both teams have scored goals
Probable line-up : Onana - Mazraoui, de Ligt, Martinez, Dalot - Ugarte, Casemiro - Diallo, Eriksen, Rashford - Zirkzee.

10.50Tip and bets
The upcoming match is of fundamental importance for the hosts. Jose Mourinho will meet his former team, and Fred and Sofyan Amrabat also defended the colors of Manchester United. Fenerbahce will definitely have no problems with motivation, the team is always ready to give a bright match against any opponent on its home field. The Red Devils are far from being at the peak of their form now, and have many problems with the squad. We do not think that today the Mancunians in Istanbul deserve the status of favorites that bookmakers assign to them.
Our prediction is a Fenerbahce victory with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 2.20
Bet on total
Since the start of the season, Fenerbahce and Manchester United have been showing regular defensive lapses during matches, and it will be difficult for them to keep a clean sheet today. It should be noted that four of the last five matches involving the hosts have seen an exchange of goals. The Mancunians have exchanged goals in two matches played in the Europa League.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.60
Bet on corners
Note that Manchester United have won eight of their previous nine matches on corners, so we recommend another betting option.
Prediction – Manchester United will not lose on corners with odds of 1.72
