Omonia Nicosia vs Manchester United prediction and odds: Back United to ease their way to three Europe League points in Cyprus

Lennon's side sit fourth in the Cypriot first division after a mixed bag of results in their opening five matches and although they go into this fixture on the back of two wins and two clean sheets, they play in one of the weakest top divisions in Europe and Omomia need to be judged on how they perform in this competition.
