FCSB vs Manchester United Preview and Team News
FCSB Team News
Romanian club FCSB is the outsider in the Europa League betting this week. They are eighth in the current standings, and a win will secure their spot in the knockout round.
However, a defeat will leave them fighting for a place in the playoffs. They come into this round in excellent European form, avoiding defeat in their last four but playing out draws in two encounters over that period.
FCSB have recorded an xG average of 1.84 per game this season, scoring 34 goals in 23 matches. Their defensive record is reliable at home events, conceding an xGA of 0.94 per meet and allowing eleven goals. However, this is a massive step up in terms of the opposition they’ll be up against.
FCSB predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Tarnovanu; Pantea, Popescu, Dawa, Kiki; Cisotti, Sut; Baluta, Edjouma, Stefanescu; Popa.
Manchester United Team News
Manchester United are in a prime position to finish in an automatic qualification spot. As of matchday eight, they are fourth in the standings.
Ruben Amorim’s men have won each of their last four meetings and rank among the highest scorers in the contest after netting 14 goals in seven encounters. They’ve recorded an xG average of 1.41, scoring 28 goals overall.
The squad’s defensive record is better on the road, allowing an xGA average of 1.30 and keeping clean sheets in 36% of their events. However, Amorim’s options in the defensive third will still be negatively impacted as Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof remain out.
Manchester United predicted lineup (3-4-3): Bayindir; de Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes, Mazraoui; Diallo, Zirkzee, Garnacho.
Bet hereFCSB vs Manchester United Prediction
- Pick: Manchester United to Win
- Odds: 1.60 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: FCSB 1-3 Manchester United
United have burst into life under Amorim’s coaching in recent weeks, winning four of their last five events across all competitions.
The Europa League is a tournament that Manchester have been taking seriously. A win will secure their spot in the knockout round without the need for a playoff.
The guests’ chances are also aided by the fact that they’ve avoided defeat in their previous six away matches in the Europa League and have won five of their six games against Romanian opposition.
FCSB vs Manchester United Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.77 (22Bet)
A high-scoring clash looks to be a solid prediction for FCSB vs Manchester United. The visitors have averaged 2.61 goals per fixture this season and have shown excellent attacking talent in the Europa League.
The chances of over 2.5 goals being a winning selection are also enhanced based on FCSB averaging 2.45 goals per game.
Bruno Fernandes has been a standout player in his region since joining Amorim’s men. The midfielder became the second talent to ever reach ten goals in the Europa League for United after netting against Rangers last Thursday. We anticipate another match-winning performance from the Manchester captain.
