Omonia Nicosia vs Manchester United Prediction and Betting Tips | 6th October 2022

Manchester United will fly out to Cyprus to take on Omonia Nicosia in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. The Cypriot side have lost their first two group stage games against Sheriff Tiraspol and Real Sociedad.

Since their 2-1 defeat against Real Sociedad, Omonia have picked up two wins on the trot in the league, namely against Paralimni and Doxa.

Neil Lennon's men have also managed to keep a clean sheet in both games and that's an encouraging turn of events ahead of their high-profile clash with Manchester United. They are in desperate need of a positive result as another defeat might be too difficult to recover from in Group E.

They will be hoping that they can hurt their wounded opponents, who will be quite downcast after their 6-3 loss to Manchester City last Sunday.

The Red Devils were absolutely dismantled by their cross-city rivals as they fell to a 4-0 deficit inside the first half of the derby last Sunday.

Erling Haaland and Phil Foden scored hat-tricks for Pep Guardiola's side as they ran riot at the Etihad. A worldie from Antony and a brace from Anthony Martial did provide some sort of consolation for the Red Devils but it was a largely weak performance from Ten Hag's men.

Fans will be hoping to see a response from their side on Thursday and United have a great chance to bounce back against relatively weaker opposition.

Omonia Nicosia were completely outplayed by Sheriff Tiraspol in their first Europa League group stage game. Real Sociedad managed to win against them without several of their first-team members.

United might have been embarrassed by Manchester City in the Premier League. But Thursday's European opponents are not going to be that hard to contain. We expect United to walk away with all three points.
