FCSB vs Manchester United Prediction: Europa League Betting Odds & Picks
FCSB vs Manchester United betting picks
Manchester United can secure their place in the Europa League round of 16 by taking a point in their clash against FCSB on Thursday (3pm, DAZN).
Ruben Amorim’s men have strung together back-to-back wins, overcoming Rangers in their last Europa League outing before defeating Fulham on the road in the Premier League.
The gloom at Old Trafford has lifted slightly, and sealing their spot in the Europa League round of 16 without any drama would suggest that the Red Devils are trending in the right direction.
Betting sites have installed United as favourites to win the Europa League at odds of +450, which is placing massive faith in a side that have been inconsistent since Amorim’s arrival.
FCSB need a positive result for their own chances of automatically qualifying for the round of 16. The Romanian outfit have already booked a spot in the play-off round, but will be desperate to avoid an additional two fixtures to reach the round of 16 at the first time of asking.
They’ve only lost one of their seven matches, a 4-0 defeat to Rangers at Ibrox. Had coach Elias Charalambous should feel confident that his side can put United under pressure in Bucharest.
Despite their issues, United are odds-on with soccer betting sites to take the three points, while the hosts are priced at +450 to secure the win that would seal their last-16 place.
FCSB vs Manchester United Picks: United To Edge Out Hosts
Although United have been inconsistent domestically, their form in the Europa League has been impressive under Amorim. The Red Devils have won all three matches since the Portuguese’s arrival in November, including their triumph over Rangers last time out.
The games have been entertaining, too. They came from behind to beat Bodo/Glimt and Viktoria Plzen before Bruno Fernandes’ notched a late winner against the Scottish outfit.
United don’t like to do things the easy way, requiring a brilliant goal-line clearance from Toby Collyer at the weekend to hang onto their lead against Fulham, so we’re expecting another close game.
FCSB have scored in two of their three home matches in the league phase of the Europa League, the only blank coming in a goalless against Olympiakos in November.
United’s clean sheet against Fulham was their first away from home under Amorim, but we’re not expecting that trend to continue.
The home side will get on the scoresheet to make a game of it, but ultimately we do like United's chances of taking care of business with a win in Bucharest and you can get +240 on betting apps on a road win and both teams scoring.

FCSB vs Manchester United Picks: Amad To Shine Once More
Erik ten Hag overlooked Amad Diallo during his United tenure. The Ivorian is showing that was one of the Dutchman's many mistakes, especially this season.
Amad has been responsible for crucial moments, scoring the winner in the Manchester derby along with a match-winning hat-trick against Southampton when it appeared the Red Devils were heading towards an embarrassing defeat at Old Trafford.
He also notched a decisive brace in United’s victory over PAOK in the Europa League, sparking a four-game win streak, although those have been his only two goals of the European campaign.
Amad always seems to deliver under the spotlight and odds of +100 from new betting sites.for him to score or assist appeal to us.
