Sheriff Tiraspol vs Manchester United Predictions

• Man Utd have won their last two away matches, keeping clean sheets in both games
• A full-strength Man Utd team is expected to play, as they do not play again until October
• S. Tiraspol have failed to score in four of their last nine European matches

Red Devils fancied to get off the mark in Group E

Following last weeks 1-0 defeat at home to Real Sociedad, Erik Ten Hag will be keen for his side to make amends in Moldova on Thursday and get their Europa League campaign up and running. United were in fine form heading into last Thursday’s game and have now won four of their last five matches, including each of their last two away games in which they kept two clean sheets. Erik Ten Hag made six changes to his starting XI last week but is expected to revert to a full-strength side in Moldova as following Thursday’s game, United to not play again until October – a similar side to the one that beat Arsenal should have little trouble getting the job done in this one.

Hosts face a massive step-up in class

S. Tiraspol opened their Group E account with a 3-0 victory over Omonia last Thursday. Omonia currently sit fourth bottom of the Cypriot First Division and Thursday’s hosts now face a massive step-up in grade when they welcome English giants, Manchester United, to Moldova. S. Tiraspol struggled for goals in their European competition qualification campaigns this season – prior last week’s game, the Moldovan side had scored four times in their last eight European matches and may struggle to cause United many problems on Thursday.

Man Utd make little appeal in the outright market but can be backed at 8/13 on the -1 Handicap and that will be the main selection for Thursday’s game, with a 3-0 away win forming the Correct Score prediction.
