FC Porto vs Manchester United prediction

The UEFA Europa League action continues this week and one of the top events lined up for you is of course the clash between FC Porto and Manchester United billed to take place at the Estádio do Dragão, the home of FC. Porto.

FC Porto in their opening UEL game failed to level matters against Bodø/Glimt despite their late surge of revival channelled by Swedish forward, Deniz Gül which was no more than a consolation as the match ended in a 3-2 loss for the Dragons. The result leaves Porto without a point in the 24th spot of the standings a point behind United. Nevertheless, they were back to winning ways on Sunday after they comprehensively thrashed Arouca in the Liga Portugal.

Manchester United on the other hand in their UECL opener, squandered a solid first-half lead and were later held to a nail-biting draw at the Old Trafford by visitors, Twente. While the Red Devils tried to recover from this unlucky outcome, they fell into a humiliating home loss to Tottenham over the weekend after being reduced to 10 men late in the 1st Half.

Even though Manchester United are currently facing a huge form decline it doesn’t reduce their capacity as a big club and they are still very much in the groove for a breathtaking performance. For the record, United have been unbeaten against FC Porto in their last 3 meetings (1W, 2D), so it is best to play safely rather than riskily. Therefore, Our FC Porto vs Manchester United prediction is a Double Chance market for Manchester United and we recommend the DC Manchester United/Draw market.
