Omonia vs. Manchester United 10/6/22 UEFA Europa League Soccer Pick, Predictions, Odds

Omonia and Manchester United face off on Thursday in a Group E Europa League showdown at Tsirion Athlítiko Kentro. 

Manchester United comes into this game sitting in second place in the standings having picked up three points. Manchester United’s last Europa League game came against Sheriff, and they were able to win that game 2-0. They had 69 percent of the possession and four shots on goal in that game. Over the weekend, Manchester United faced off against Manchester City, and they really struggled in that game, giving up six goals on the way to the defeat. Raphael Varane suffered an ankle injury against Manchester City, and he isn’t expected to be able to play in this game. Harry McGuire is dealing with an ankle injury, and he isn’t expected to be able to play in this game. It’s also unclear if Cristiano Ronaldo is going to be able to get the start in this game. 

On the other side of this matchup is Omonia, and they sit in 4th place in the standings, having picked up zero points. In the last Europa League game, Omonia was beat by Real Sociedad 2-1. Omonia fell behind early, but they were able to tie it up in the 72nd minute with a goal by Bruno Felipe. The defense had another letdown, though, and they gave up in the 80th minute. Omonia faced off against Doxa on Saturday, and they were able to secure the 2-0 victory. Midfielder Moreto Cassama suffered an injury and missed the weekend game. He isn’t expected to be able to play in this game. 

Manchester United gave up six goals in the last game, but don’t let that fool you, they are still the much better team in this game. Omonia isn’t a great offensive team, and they are going to really struggle to get through the backline of the Manchester United defense. Manchester United will score at least two goals, and that is going to be the difference as the visiting team gets the job done. Back Manchester United -1.5 to cash.
