Omonia will take on Manchester United in round 3 of the UEFA Europa League group stage. The match will take place at Neo GSP Stadium in Nicosia on Thursday, October 6.
Omoni are one of the most powerful clubs on their island. In 2021, the “Queen”, was able to win the 21st title as champion of her country. It failed to repeat the draw in the next draw. 1 of the favorite fell to 7th. They were able to partially justify their actions to the fans with the win in the Cyprus Cup, which was the first in a decade. This was what allowed them to keep their pass to the Europa League. In August, it passed Gent twice 2-0. Omonia has failed to make it past the group stage. It’s OK to lose to Real Sociedad. The Spaniards are responsible in international competitions. They lost to Sheriff at home and scored a shocking 0-3.
Manchester United clearly are not motivated by Europa League. Last season, the Mancunians were a disappointment in England. The finalist in the Europa League and vice champion of the Albion failed everywhere under Solskjaer, as did Rangnik. They also fell back significantly outside the “champions league quartet”. After a slow start, the Premier League was greatly improved under the mentor, ten Hag. The Europa League, evidently, is where the British are trying with a one-and a half squad to make it through the group round. Ronaldo is also there. Real Sociedad lost 0-1. It was 2-0 with Sheriff in Chisinau that completed the “grandmaster” title. Cristiano finally scored his first goal of the new season. It is unlikely that the Mancunians’ coaching staff will change their approach in Cyprus.
Omonia has been a regular participant in European competitions, including the Champions League. However, they have rarely stayed there. It is therefore not surprising that the representative from Cyprus will be playing with Manchester United for first time in their history. Manchester United will be hampered by Omonia’s home team. Even with current understudies, the opponent is strong. We recommend that you bet on the visitors with a handicap of “-1.25 goals”.
Prediction: Manchester United will win with a -1.5 handicap
