FC Porto vs Manchester United F.C. Prediction 3 October 2024

Porto finds itself in unfamiliar territory this season, competing in the Europa League rather than the Champions League, a consequence of finishing third in last season’s Primeira Liga. The Dragons have had a rocky start in Europe, suffering a surprising 2-3 defeat to Bodo/Glimt. However, they quickly bounced back with a dominant 4-0 win over Arouca in domestic competition, showcasing their ability to respond when under pressure.

Manchester United, meanwhile, has endured a challenging spell in the Premier League, currently sitting mid-table after a humiliating 0-3 loss to Tottenham. Their European campaign has been similarly underwhelming, as evidenced by a lackluster 1-1 draw at home against Twente.

Despite Manchester United being favored by bookmakers, Porto’s level of play is not far behind. With the home crowd on their side, the Portuguese side could very well neutralize United’s attack and come away with at least a draw.
