Man Utd v FC Twente

Manchester United vs FC Twente Preview

Manchester United had to make do with just a point on the weekend in the Premier League as the Red Devils were held to a frustrating 0-0 stalemate away from home at Crystal Palace, while FC Twente experienced the opposite as they inflicted a comprehensive 5-0 thrashing over Almere City away from home in the Dutch Eredivisie on the weekend, making it two wins on the trot for the Dutch outfit.

Despite that disappointing draw in the Premier League though, Manchester United bring a three-match unbeaten sequence in all competitions into this upcoming Europa League tie at Old Trafford which also includes collecting previous back-to-back wins against Southampton 3-0 away from home along with a 7-0 humiliation of League One side Barnsley in the League Cup.

However, prior to these recent wins, Manchester United had also slipped to two losses on the trot as Erik ten Hag's side tasted defeat at the hands of Brighton 2-1 away from home as well as a heavy 3-0 loss at home to Liverpool, so it may be best to avoid the straight win markets here.

The goals market looks inviting though especially as seven out of Manchester United's last 10 games in all competitions have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

FC Twente produced a second win on the trot on the weekend as the Dutch visitors recorded a convincing 5-0 victory away from home at Almere City in the domestic top flight which followed a previous 2-0 home win against Heerenveen, so the visitors will feel a whole lot better about their chances for this upcoming Europa League opener in Manchester.

However, FC Twente have found wins difficult to come by in recent times in all competitions as the visitors have managed to muster just three wins in their previous 11 games overall, which also includes a previous 2-1 win away at NEC at the start of this season's Eredivisie campaign.

Losses incurred on the road at Salzburg 2-1 in the qualifying round of the Champions League along with a 2-1 loss at the hands of Utrecht though suggest it may be risky in backing the visitors in the straight win markets, but goals also look promising from their perspective as well.

Indeed, seven of FC Twente's last 11 games overall have produced three goals or more and with just two losses dealt out to them in their last 13 matches, the visitors do at least look capable of contributing to the scoreline on Wednesday night.
