The honeymoon appears to be over for new Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, and his team face a tricky task as they look to bounce back from two defeats to claim a Europa League win in the Czech Republic against Viktoria Plzen.
United have fallen to defeats against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest in the last week and their away form is little to get carried away with – their only win in nine road matches this season came at Premier League basement boys Southampton.
They remain unbeaten in the Europa League with three draws and two wins from their five games and there are no guarantees of them obliging a short price in this one after earning points at Porto and Fenerbahce.
Chelsea are vastly superior to every other team in this competition. They’ve averaged 4,5 goals per game, and you’d expect they’d get a few against FC Astana.
To their credit, FC Astana have a good defensive record in this tournament, but they’ve not faced a team with the quality of Chelsea and may struggle when they come up against the likes of Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku.
It took 12 minutes for Chelsea to get their first goal vs FC Noah, and they followed that up with three goals in the next 12 minutes. Getting over 4.5 shouldn’t be an unrealistic target.
