Manchester United v PAOK Europa League Odds & Match Preview
Kick-off: 8pm UK Time, Thursday 7th November 2024
Ruud Van Nistelrooy will take charge of Manchester United for the penultimate time when his charges face Greek side PAOK at Old Trafford in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
Yet to taste victory
Manchester United have yet to taste victory in this season’s Europa League campaign and as things stand, the Old Trafford outfit sit in 21st position in the 36-team table after three rounds of fixtures. The Red Devils have at least avoided defeat in the competition with draws coming against FC Twente (1-1), FC Porto (3-3) and Fenerbahce (1-1), however their run of four draws and two defeats from six European outings is their worst since between 1980 and 1983 when they also failed to win six on the bounce. United have never before gone seven matches without victory in European competition but they are now just 90 minutes away from breaking this unwanted record.
First appearance
Having reached the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League last season, this will be PAOK’s first appearance in the Europa League in four years and they too are still in search of their first win in the competition. They opened their account with defeats to Galatasaray (3-1) and FCSB (1-0) in their first two games and then forced Viktoria Plzen to settle for a share of the spoils after coming back from two goals behind to draw 2-2 two weeks ago. Currently sitting in 30th position in the Europa League table, PAOK have lost all-but-one of their last six European away games and it’s hard to see them getting anything for their troubles on Thursday evening.
Little to cheer about
Manchester United have had very little to cheer about in Europe’s second tier competition this season but since Van Nistelrooy has taken the reins, confidence appears to have lifted somewhat. The home side are rightly regarded as strong favourites to claim a maximum points haul on Thursday evening and Van Nistelrooy will almost certainly field a side that will manage to keep PAOK at bay throughout.
Back Manchester United to win-to-nil at best odds of 6/5
