Manchester United v Feyenoord Betting Preview – UEFA Europa League 24th November
The Red Devils could be struggling to get to the knockout stage of the competition if they fail to pick up a home win over Feyenoord on Thursday night. The Red Devils lost out in Rotterdam against them right at the start of the campaign and really need to reverse that. The visitors will turn up knowing that a point gives them a great shot of moving through still on Match Day Six, but there is a risk involved with that. Feyenoord would be through with a win though. United go with a one point deficit to both Fenerbahce and Feyenoord and really need to step up to the plate on this one because they could be out on Thursday with a loss.

Manchester United v Feyenoord Betting Tips
Manchester United have to get themselves into shape to land themselves a win here or they will be under some big pressure in the group. They have made pretty hard work of this easy group. If they don’t pick up the victory on Thursday night then they are going to have a tough time getting out of the group. The Red Devils aren’t exactly in winning form at the moment and they have taken just the three victories in their last nine games across all competitions (W3 D4 L2) and at Old Trafford that has been W2 D3 in their last five there. It is highly unlikely that you are going to be looking at a high scoring fixture here as five of United’s last six at Old Trafford in all competitions have gone under 2.5 goals. You can take under 2.5 goals at bookmaker Bet365 for a price of 11/10. United lost 1-0 in Rotterdam against Feyenoord on match day one, putting in a truly dreadful performance.
So will the be able to make amends? The Red Devils have failed to win their last two European home games against Dutch opposition, losing against Ajax in 2012 and drawing with PSV in 2015. United hold a W5 D1 L1 record at home against Dutch opposition and overall that record home and away is W7 D3 L5. Manchester United do at least have some good home form running with them in Europe as they are unbeaten in their last 13 at home (W10 D3). Running in the anytime goalscorer market Zlatan Ibrahimovic is trading as 5/6 favourite, with Marcus Rashford and Wayne Rooney around the even money mark. They don’t have much choice other than to go with a strong side in this one. United have only scored more than one goal in three of their nine home matches across all competitions this season. Running in the correct score market you have shortest priced option of Manchester United 2-0 at 11/2 with Bet365.
Feyenoord would probably be alright with a draw but that would leave them sweating on match day six where they could still get overtaken. However, they would be through to the next round with a victory in this one, so they may turn up in a positive mood. Feyenoord’s record in 22 fixtures against English opponents reads: W7 D5 L10 (W2 D4 L4 in England). They haven’t done particularly well out on the road this season in the Europa League, losing at Fenerbahce and then playing out a 1-1 draw with Zorya so that isn’t going to bode well for them here. They aren’t in great form overall as Feyenoord have actually failed to win four of their last six games across all competitions (W2 D3 L1). Not only that, the Dutch club have failed to win any of their last three European fixtures as well. Former Liverpool man Dirk Kuyt is their shortest priced option at 4/1, which says a lot. Both teams to not score score in this fixture will fetch you a price of 7/10 and pushing things out on Manchester United to win to nil will get you a price of 21/20.

Man Utd 4/11, Draw 4/1, Feyenoord 13/2
Manchester United v Feyenoord Predictions
The Red Devils should squeeze this one out, if nothing more than by default because of Feyenoord’s poor form out on the road. Don’t expect a classic European night for the Red Devils here, they need to dig in and grind this one out. So look under 2.5 goals as Feyenoord aren’t a big attack threat and a Manchester United to win to nil punt has to look value.
