Betting on Sevilla
The local team, who is struggling to avoid relegation in its domestic competition, will have the opportunity to demonstrate once again why they are considered the best team in the history of the Europa League.
The Spaniards, the continental champions with six titles, managed to come back from a two-goal deficit in the last 10 minutes thanks to a couple of United own goals as a result of Sevillian pressure on the field.
Since the arrival of José Luis Mendilibar on the club’s bench, Sevilla registers an unbeaten streak of four games and are breathing a little easier after last weekend’s victory over Valencia, who are direct rivals in the fight for relegation.
Sevilla have not fared well at home in the Spanish league with five defeats in 14 matches played, but in the two preliminary stages of this tournament they managed to win two key matches after beating PSV Eindhoven (3-0) and Fenerbahce (2-0) without conceding a goal.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Bono; Gonzalo Montiel, Tanguy Nianzou, Marcao, Marcos Acuña; Nemanja Gudelj, Fernando; Ivan Rakitic, Oliver Torres, Lucas Ocampos; Youssef En-Nesyri.
Betting on Manchester United
Manchester United are on course to complete one of their best seasons in recent years, and to do so they need to overcome this tie against an always difficult Sevilla team.
Erik ten Hag’s boys seemed to have the game settled at home, dominating the game during the first 80 minutes of the game, but in just 10 minutes they were equalized and complicated their chances of earning a ticket to the semi-finals. Now they will visit Spain with many injured players in the team.
Nevertheless, they have not lost their last 10 European matches. It is worth noting that they have not fared badly against Spanish clubs in this string, having beaten Real Sociedad in the group stage as visitors, drawn against Barcelona in the round of 16 playoffs and beaten Real Betis in the last 16.
In order to maintain that string, United needs to keep up the good goal-scoring pace that has led them to a two-goal difference in seven of its last ten winsThe team will finally take revenge for the defeat that Sevilla handed them in the semi-final of the 2020-21 Europa League.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Rafael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia; Marcel Sabitzer, Casemiro; Bruno Fernandes, Antony, Anthony Martial; Jadon Sancho.
JefeBet Prediction
With the tie open for either team, there is no doubt that this Thursday’s match will be a real thriller at the home of Sevilla, especially if either team takes a quick lead.
While Manchester have not conceded in the first 45 minutes of their last eight games, in this Europa League their offense has scored 20 goals in the last nine games after being held scoreless in the first game of the group stage against Real Sociedad.
As for Sevilla, although in the last two games of the continental tournament they have not conceded any goals at home, in La Liga their defense has been their main weakness, conceding 44 goals while their offense registers five games without scoring after 29 games played.
In addition, four of the five lifetime meetings between these clubs have ended with at least three goals on the scoreboard, and in each of those four matches both teams have scored.
Prediction: Both teams score in the first 90 minutes (SEV 1 – MAN 1).
