Fenerbahce v Manchester United Betting Preview – UEFA Europa League 3rd November
A big clash for Manchester United as they head out to Turkey. Half of the job is done against Fenerbahce, as United hammered them 4-1 at Old Trafford a couple of weeks ago. But the Red Devils were frustrated again in a 0-0 home draw against Burnley on the weekend in the Premier League and the pressure is on them to find better results. The last time that they went to Istanbul to face Fenerbahce, the Red Devils crashed heavily to a 3-0 loss. They need to avoid a defeat in this one because that would leave qualification wide open from Group A of the UEFA Europa League.

Fenerbahce v Manchester United Betting Tips
Manchester United seem to be swimming around in circles at the moment. They could only manage a 0-0 home draw against Burnley on the weekend in the top flight, a disappointing result after having beaten Man City in the league cup in the midweek. So things aren’t going consistently right for United at the moment and they should be delivering better. Manchester United have produced just a W2 D3 L1 record in their last six games and just the five wins in their last twelve across all competitions. A couple of weeks ago they were comfortable enough against Fenerbahce at Old Trafford, putting a 4-1 win on the board. What set them on the way was two converted penalty kicks in three first half minutes. Five of Manchester United’s last seven games have gone under 2.5 goals and that’s probably a trend worth running with at a price of 7/10 with Bet365.
You have low scoring options of a 1-1 draw at 11/2 or a Manchester United 1-0 win at 6/1 in the correct score market for Fenerbahce v Manchester betting. United did lose their away game in the group that they have played so far, suffering a 1-0 loss at Feyenoord on Match Day One. Five times these two clubs have met before and Manchester United are narrowly ahead in from those clashes with three wins to two. United’s record in 15 encounters with Turkish opposition reads W8 D3 L4 (W3 D2 L2 in Turkey). Troubling for the Red Devils is that they have now failed to win any of their last six away games in Europe, a poor return of D1 L5 from that sequence of games. United have also failed to net in either of their last two away games too. In the anytime goalscorer market, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is an 11/8 shortest priced option for the Red Devils. He badly needs a goal.
Former Manchester United striker Robin Van Persie is a 21/10 shot at Bet365 to net in this one. He was the one who netted their consolation at Old Trafford. Fenerbahce are a decent home side as they have gone unbeaten in their last seven on home turf in Europe, winning six of those including the last five. Of those seven matches in that streak, they have kept five clean sheets as well. The price of 4/1 on Fenerbahce to win to nil may be a temptation for punters or they are just a 5/2 to earn the clean sheet. Fenerbahce did win their only home match in the group so far, taking out Feyenoord 1-0. Fenerbahçe’s 18 matches against English clubs have ended W4 D3 L11 (W3 D1 L4 in Istanbul) and they have have lost their last two home games against English clubs by three-goal margins.

Fenerbahce v Manchester United Predictions
Given United’s recent failings it may just be worth having a flutter on the home side to bring the Red Devils down as well. United haven’t won any of their last six away games and struggled out on the road at Feyenoord. Look for the game to go under 2.5 goals and maybe just for the Turks, who are solid at home, to nick it.
