Manchester United host Sabah Baku in their UCL league-phase opener. United's recent form is mixed - 1W 2D 2L in five - but their attack is firing: 10 goals scored across those games. Sabah arrive in fine domestic shape, 4 wins from 5, yet their sole European test ended in a 1-2 loss to H. Beer Sheva. Five United injuries add some uncertainty, but the class gap is real. The key numbers: United have conceded in all 5 recent games, and 3 of their last 5 produced over 2.5 goals. Sabah kept 4 clean sheets in 5 but conceded in their only away European outing. Both sides score freely when pushed - United 10 goals, Sabah 13 in five games. Over 3.5 goals at 1.65-1.67 is the model's pick: a high-tempo United attack versus a Baku side that will be exposed at this level. The price offers genuine value for a fixture pointing firmly to goals.
