Manchester United vs Twente prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - September 25, 2024
One of the matches in the first round of the Europa League will take place on Wednesday at Old Trafford, where Manchester United will face Dutch side FC Twente. Here's a prediction for the match from the experts at Dailysports.
Manchester United
The "Red Devils" once again face early-season struggles in the Premier League. Last weekend, Erik ten Hag's men played away against Crystal Palace and dropped crucial points in a 0-0 draw with the "Eagles." The team struggled in the second half, registering just one shot on target after the break.
Earlier, Manchester United demolished Barnsley 7-0 at home in the EFL Cup. However, in the Premier League, after five rounds, the team sits in 11th place with just seven points from their efforts.
Twente
The "Tukkers" had a strong campaign last season, finishing third in the Eredivisie. This gave them a shot at the Champions League group stage, but they fell short against Austrian side RB Salzburg. After losing 1-2 away, Twente drew 3-3 at home, missing out on progression.
In the current Eredivisie season, Joseph Oosting’s side sits in fourth place after six matches, collecting 11 points. They trail league leaders PSV by seven points. The early rounds of the Dutch league were a disappointment for Twente, as they managed just two points from their first three matches. However, the team bounced back with back-to-back wins over Heerenveen (2-0) and Almere City (5-0).
