H2H

This will be the first-ever meeting between Man United and Sabah Baku.

Man United Can Use Home Strength

Man United have winning momentum at Old Trafford. Since Michael Carrick’s appointment, United have won nine of 10 home matches and Bruno Fernandes has 15 goal contributions in that spell.

The Red Devils bounced back from a 2-0 defeat at Hull in the Premier League and thrashed Ipswich 5-2 at home. Fernandes scored a hat-trick and provided an assist as United dominated with 4.78 XG.

Carrick's team had another high-scoring result on Sunday after a 2-2 draw at Everton. They led twice through Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko and conceded a 96th-minute leveller.

Sabah Baku Face a Tough Away Test

Azerbaijani outfit Sabah Baku will compete in the Champions League for the first time this season.

The Owls started Champions League qualifying in July and lost two of their eight matches. Baku lost both games 2-1 away at Aarhus and Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

Valdas Dambrauskas’ outfit returned to domestic action and thrashed Zira 5-0 in the Azerbaijan Premier League. Joy Lance Mickels scored a hat-trick and Veljko Simic and Christian Nwachukwu also found the net.

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News

Man United (4-2-3-1): Senne Lammens; Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw; Kobbie Mainoo, Youri Tielemans; Bryan Mbeumo, Bruno Fernandes, Matheus Cunha; Benjamin Sesko

Midfielders Carlos Baleba and Manuel Ugarte are injured. Winger Amad Diallo and defender Matthijs de Ligt are also likely to miss out due to injury.

Marcus Rashford came off injured against Everton and is doubtful here. Michael Carrick explained the attacker was withdrawn after “feeling a bit of something” during the match.

Sabah Baku (4-2-3-1): Stas Pokatilov; Tellur Mutallimov, Rahman Dashdamirov, Tymoteusz Puchacz, Steve Solvet; Aleksey Isayev, Umarali Rakhmonaliyev; Christian Nwachukwu, Ivan Lepinjica, Veljko Simic; Joy Lance Mickels

Winger Khayal Aliyev has a tendon injury and won’t feature.

Verdict

Man Utd v Sabah

Man United score loads of goals at Old Trafford and have enough class to comfortably defeat Sabah Baku. A home win with Bruno Fernandes to score are the best bets.
