Manchester United vs Real Betis
Thursday March, 21:00
Old Trafford
Manchester United were on the receiving end of a 7-0 thrashing against Liverpool in the English Premier League during their most recent fixture, so Erik ten Hag will be hoping his side can bounce back in Europe with a win.
Prior to this heavy defeat, the Red Devils were in inspiring form, having not lost in 11 games in all competitions, whilst also picking up silverware along the way when they won the EFL Cup final against Newcastle United
The Europa League will certainly be a trophy that the Dutch manager will be keen to get his hands on, as they have slowly slipped out of the title race, currently sitting 14 points off the top.
Whilst Betis had an almost perfect group stage in the Europa League after they won five and drew once, but they will be well aware of the strength that the Manchester side have within their ranks.
The Spanish side currently sit fifth place in La Liga, and come into this European clash in decent form, as they have not lost in their last four games in all competitions, including a well earned point against Real Madrid.
Rashford to score first?
Despite a hammering at the weekend, we predict a United win, and you can get them to win both halves at 2.08 at Bet9ja. If you see the hosts bouncing back with a bang, you can get odds of 3.35 for a home win and over 3.5 goals, while a home win combined with over 4.5 goals is priced up at 5.60.
