Man United vs Zorya Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Manchester United vs Zorya predictions and betting tips for this week’s 8.05pm kick-off in the Europa League including the best odds for each selection.

 

Can Manchester United get a first European win of the season on Thursday night? The Red Devils went down away to Feyenoord in their first Europa League group game, but now they’re heavy favourites to see off Ukrainian side Zorya Luhansk. However, Jose Mourinho is likely to rotate his side once again for this game.

 

Manchester United vs Zorya Luhansk Predictions

 

One notable thing about United’s recent results are their defensive issues. Even though they’ve returned to form, they’re still conceding goals. They’ve kept just two clean sheets all season, the last of which came in August. They even let in a goal against League Two Northampton. While this week’s opponents are outsiders, they’re far better than the Cobblers. Zorya may not be a big name, but they’re second in the Ukrainian league. Their last away game saw them win at Dynamo Kiev, a Champions League side who made the last 16 a year ago. Zorya could be underestimated here, and we see them getting the best of United’s defence. With Mourinho expected to rest some big names, we like the look of both teams to score for the first an United vs Zorya prediction at odds of 8/5 with Betfair.

First Goalscorer Tips

One man who is expected to be included is Wayne Rooney. With Marcus Rashford now a starter and Zlatan Ibrahimovic needing a rest, the England captain should return up front. This has been a tough week for him, as United looked much improved without him against Leicester. The club seem to be moving on without their captain, so he needs to take any chance he gets to prove he’s still worthy of a place in the team. Given that he’s just three goals short of becoming United’s record scorer, my second Man United vs Zorya prediction is for Wayne Rooney to score first. Rooney is 22/5 with 888Sport to open the scoring, and this should be a great chance for him to do that.

Team News

While Zorya have their strongest team available, Manchester United will be making changes. We know Mourinho wants to rotate his squad in the Europa League. The Portuguese manager is without Anthony Martial and Phil Jones through injury, while Luke Shaw and Ibrahimovic have not travelled with the squad.

 

Head to Head Stats

It’s hardly surprising, but these two have never met in European competition.
