Manchester United vs PAOK predictions
Bruno Fernandes 2+ Shots on Target (5/4 with Sky Bet)
Fernandes has been the one bright spark for Manchester United in what has been a season to forget for the side so far. The Portuguese maestro has averaged 3 shots per game in the Europa League this season, up from 2.67 when you include the Premier League, and he’ll be given the freedom to roam against PAOK which could lead to plenty of chances for United’s danger man.
BTTS – Yes and Manchester United to win (7/4 with Sky Bet)
Times have been tough for Manchester United this season, winning just three of their 13 matches across the Premier League and Europa League. This run of poor form has also seen them score just 14 times, conceding 17 times. PAOK have managed a goal a game on average in the Europa League this season and are a good bet to find the net against Man United, although the Red Devils should have enough to secure the win.

How both teams go into Manchester United vs PAOK
Man Utd have drawn all three of their Europa League matches so far this season, letting leads slip against both Twente (1-1) and Porto (3-3), although they did score a stoppage-time equaliser in the latter. Their third match saw another 1-1 draw, this time against Fenerbahce.
PAOK’s start has been even worse, with the Greek champions losing 3-1 in Istanbul against Galatasaray before a disappointing 1-0 loss at home to Steau Bucharest. Up next in the Europa League for them was a home tie with Viktoria Plzen, in which they managed a 2-2 draw
Manchester United team news
Man United have plenty of injury problems ahead of the game with PAOK, with Kobbie Mainoo, Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Antony all being ruled out. There are also doubts over Mason Mount, Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen.
PAOK team news
PAOK have no notable absentees for this game but do have ex-Manchester United player Shola Shoretire in their ranks.
Manchester United vs PAOK head-to-head
This will be the first-ever meeting between Manchester United and PAOK. The Red Devils have a strong record against Greek opposition, losing just one of their previous 12 meetings across all competitions and winning nine, with 27 goals scored and six conceded. United have won three of their last four such matches without conceding a goal, with a 2-0 away defeat in Olympiacos back in 2014 the only mark on their copybook. Even that was overturned 3-0 at Old Trafford in the return leg.
