Sheriff Tiraspol vs Manchester United prediction: How will Europa League fixture play out tonight?

Manchester United are back in Europa League action tonight when they face Sheriff Tiraspol in Moldova.

The Red Devils have no points yet after losing their opener to Real Sociedad and Erik ten Hag will be desperate for a win and a performance to take confidence into the Manchester derby after the international break.

It will be more than two weeks until United’s next game, at the Etihad on 2 October, after their Premier League match against Leeds was postponed.

Sheriff have a chance to move six points ahead of United, after a 3-0 win over Omonia in Game Week 1, and put them at risk of failing to advance from Group E.

Here’s everything you need to know about the match at the Zimbru Stadium in Chisinau.

When is Sheriff Tiraspol vs Manchester United?

The match will kick off at 17:45 BST on Thursday 15 September at the Zimbru Stadium, Chisinau, Moldova.

How can I watch it?

It will be shown live on BT Sport 2, with coverage starting from 5:15pm. BT Sport customers can also stream the match live on the BT Sport app and website.

Confirmed line-ups

Sheriff Tiraspol XI: Koval; Zohouri, Kiki, Radeljic, Kpozo; Badolo, Kyabou, Diop; Ouattara, Atiemwen, Rasheed

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia; Eriksen, McTominay; Antony, Fernandes, Sancho; Ronaldo

Odds

Sheriff: 14/1

Draw: 11/2

Manchester United: 1/6

Prediction

United will go with a strong side here after missing last weekend’s Premier League match and now set to miss this weekend’s, so Erik ten Hag will want to see continued momentum with his strongest side possible. With that in mind, we’ll lean towards a 3-1 away win.
