Manchester UnitedNo absentees
Manchester United host Roma at Old Trafford on Tuesday 3 November, kick-off 8.00pm (UK time), with a Champions League knockout place the prize on offer for both sides.
The Red Devils sit in the lower reaches of the 36-team league phase but remain within range of the top eight. Roma arrive a few places and a point better off, and will fancy their own chances of a result.
There is history here too, with the pair having traded blows in the 2020/21 Europa League, and another entertaining night looks on the cards given how freely both these teams have been scoring.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has gone through the card and landed on two bets that make sense at Old Trafford.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 9.5 corners | 10/11 (BoyleSports) | Both these teams attack with width and both have been leaking chances, which points to a busy evening for the corner flags. Manchester United have scored in every home outing and Roma have found the net in all three of their group games, so neither side looks like shutting up shop. With the hosts chasing the game at times and Roma happy to counter, the set-piece count should climb quickly. At a shade under evens, Over 9.5 corners looks a sound way into a fixture that should be stretched from the first whistle. |
| Manchester United and both teams to score | 11/4 (Paddy Power) | This is a nod to United’s contrasting home and away form. On their own turf they have a win and a clean sheet, and the 4-0 dismantling of Sabah showed the firepower is there when the crowd is behind them. Roma, though, have scored in every match this season and carry a genuine threat in Paulo Dybala, so expecting them to grab at least one feels fair. Backing the hosts to win while both teams find the net at 11/4 marries United’s home edge with the attacking quality on show. |

How Manchester United go into the game
Manchester United go into this one 21st in the 36-team league phase, three points on the board from an opening that has flattered to deceive. A thumping 4-0 home win over Sabah showed what they can do, yet that result sits alongside two away defeats that have left them with ground to make up. Home form is the obvious comfort, with Old Trafford yielding a win and a clean sheet already.
Last time out they were beaten 4-1 away at Como, a chastening night that exposed the same frailties on the road. Bruno Fernandes remains the creative hub and Matheus Cunha gives them a runner in behind, so goals are rarely the problem. Keeping them out has been the issue, and that is the balance Roma will look to exploit.
How Roma go into the game
Roma travel to England sitting 15th, their four points the product of a mixed start that has still only brought one defeat. They have scored freely, with eight goals across three fixtures, and crucially they have yet to be shut out. Their single away game brought a battling 1-1 draw, so the Italians have shown they can dig in on their travels.
Fresh from a 4-0 home win over Slovan Bratislava, Roma arrive with confidence restored after that result followed a narrow home loss to Real Madrid. Paulo Dybala remains the man to unlock a defence, and his movement between the lines is exactly the sort of threat that has troubled the hosts at home. The question is whether they can carry that attacking verve into a hostile Old Trafford.
