In the Group E of the Europa League, Manchester United will face the Cypriot team Omonia on the road. Although the "Red Devils" suffered a heavy defeat in the last round of key battles and their morale has been damaged, manager Tannhäuser may use a substitute lineup in this game, so the expectation on Man U should not be too high. Omonia is aware of its limited strength, and is likely to adopt the "bus tactics" for defense. Considering that United's last three matches in the Europa League have seen them score 2 goals or less, it's worth betting on 2.5 goals as the median score. (Now 643 live at 00:45am Friday)
Manchester United not only lost to Manchester City in the last round of matches, but the center back Wah Lani was also injured and left the match. Facing a weaker opponent, Tannhäuser may rotate his personnel, and Cron, who has been relegated to the bench, is expected to return to the starting lineup. However, the Portuguese international has been in poor form lately, and if he is to lead the attack, it may affect the team's chances of scoring goals.
Omonia lost both of their matches in the group stage, scoring only one goal. Against Manchester United, they can only defend and try to grab points. In fact, there is no need for the "Red Devils" to kill their opponents, and it might be wiser to slow down the tempo after scoring a goal to preserve their energy for the Premier League.
