With no Champions League games this Thursday, we turn our attention to the best clash in the Europa League. Manchester United have had a tough start to their season, but I think this could be a great spot for them to bounce back. They face a Porto team that didn’t start their Europa League campaign in the best way, losing to Norwegian team Bodo/Glimt. The Portuguese side even had a man advantage for 45 minutes, but still came away with a loss. Man United have better players, but can they finally get it together after a couple of tough results in a row?

Manchester United Draw No Bet (-105)
I really like the draw no bet in this spot. If you are new to soccer betting, a draw-no-bet hits when the team you pick wins. If the game finishes tied, the bet will void and if they lose then obviously you lose. I feel pretty comfortable in this spot that United won’t lose, with so much pressure on them to show up and put in a good performance. They have gone three straight matches in all competitions without a win, and the noise around current manager Erik ten Hag is only getting louder. Simply put, they must show up, play well and get a good result on Thursday. They have a much more expensive team than Porto and should put that on display. I don’t love the moneyline (+175) in this spot, but the draw-no bet at almost even odds gives a nice mixture of solid odds and a security blanket if the game ends tied.
