Fenerbahce vs Man Utd Preview
While there are many games today and tomorrow, the pick of the bunch is obviously Fenerbahce’s clash against Manchester United on Thursday night.
Despite this week being a Champions League week, this is one of the biggest matches of the week.
On another day, it could have a solo primetime slot because of the storyline.
This match will see the world famous Jose Mourinho take on his former side Manchester United.
Mourinho was appointed as Fenerbahce’s manager in the summer after he was sacked by Roma.
But before he managed Roma and now Fenerbahce, Mourinho once took charge of Manchester United, winning the Europa League and the League Cup with them.
However, the marriage ended on a bad note as he was sacked in 2018. This makes the reunion an interesting matchup.
Speaking of Fenerbahce, Mourinho will hope his players can pick up themselves after they played out a disappointing 2-2 draw against Samsunspor in their Turkish Super Lig match on Sunday.
The result drew criticism and increased the pressure on Mourinho’s men as his side are now eight points behind Galatasaray, even though Fenerbahce have a game in hand.
Nonetheless, the pressure is growing on Mourinho as he was brought in to end Fenerbahce’s ten-year wait for a league title after they finished second last year with 99 points.
While the match against United is not a league game, a win will definitely ease the pressure on Mourinho and could even serve as the boost they need to go on a consistent run of wins in the league.
The good news for Mourinho is that he has a good record against United and will be confident in his side’s chances of getting a win against a side that has struggled so far this season.
Mourinho has ten wins against Man Utd, losing just four in 20 meetings. This bodes well for Fenerbahce, who have also won their last two home games against United.
However, on the flip side, Mourinho has not found success against former sides in recent meetings.
The former Roma manager has won just two of his last 17 games against teams he has previously managed (D4 L11).
As for Manchester United, this is a chance for them to get their first win in the competition this season.
United started their campaign with a disappointing 1-1 draw against FC Twente at home before blowing a 2-0 lead to play a 3-3 draw against Porto.
They were close to losing the game against Porto but a late Harry Maguire finish helped to salvage a point.
United cannot afford to lose the game against Fenerbahce as that could lead to the end of Erik Ten Hag’s tenure.
Every game for the Dutch tactician could be his last as United’s manager after a poor start to the season.
Ten Hag is under immense pressure for United’s poor form. There were question marks over his future before the international break after the Red Devils lost 3-0 to Spurs at home.
Although he was able to keep his job, his heart must have sank when United fell behind to Brentford in their Premier League match at Old Trafford over the weekend.
But thanks to goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Højlund, United were able to get that vital win.
However, they cannot afford to be living on the edge. In fact, Ten Hag’s men need to start racking up wins, starting with the game against Fenerbahce.
Anything short of that could see the Dutchman get the boot. It does not look like things will change, though, as they have won only one of their last 10 European matches (D4 L5) and have failed to win any of their last five, last enduring a longer run without victory between 1980 and 1983 (six).
Fenerbahce vs Man Utd Betting Preview
Little separates the two sides but United are seen as the slight favourite with an odd of 2.30 at Housebets against Fenerbahce’s 2.95.
If you are unsure of who to bet on, you can go for over 2.5 goals, which is valued at 1.65 at Housebets.
