### The Story So Far

### What to Expect

On paper, the gulf in stature and resources between a Premier League giant and an Azerbaijani top-flight side is significant. Manchester United’s home advantage at a packed Old Trafford, combined with their squad depth, makes them strong favourites. Still, Sabah FK will look to frustrate and stay compact, hoping to make it a low-scoring, disciplined affair rather than an open contest.

### Prediction

Expect Manchester United to dominate possession and territory from the outset. A comfortable home win — likely in the range of 3-0 or 4-0 — looks the most probable outcome, barring any major surprises from the visitors.
