After a frustrating 3-2 defeat to Bodø/Glimt on matchday one, despite dominating with 29 shots and playing against ten men, Porto will be looking to bounce back in their UEFA Europa League campaign as they face a struggling Manchester United. Vitor Bruno's men, fresh from a 4-0 domestic win over Arouca, aim to extend their strong home form, having won their last three European matches at the Estádio do Dragão, including a victory against English side Arsenal.
Porto's unbeaten home streak, stretching back to April, gives them confidence as they look to secure a fourth consecutive European home win, a feat last achieved in 2019. In contrast, Manchester United find themselves in crisis, with manager Erik ten Hag under pressure following a 3-0 loss to Tottenham. United's European form is concerning, having won just one of their last nine matches in the competition and struggling defensively on the road.
Porto's in-form striker Samu Omorodion, who has scored five goals in his last four matches, could pose a significant threat to United's shaky defense. Meanwhile, United's Rasmus Højlund, who netted three of his European goals away from home last season, will hope to turn his luck around after scoring only in defeats this term.
With Porto's formidable home record and Manchester United desperate for improvement, this promises to be a high-stakes encounter at the Estádio do Dragão.
