9th March 2023 – 21:00, Old Trafford, Manchester
Manchester United and Betis will face each other in the Europa League eighth finals. The home side looks forward to recovering from a heavy defeat last weekend, while the visitors seek a surprise in this tie.
Manchester United Preview & Team News
Manchester United will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 7-0 Premier League defeat last time out to Liverpool. It was their first loss after 12 games in all competitions, but it hurt a lot. At least three goals per game have been seen in 5 of the last six meetings in which Manchester United has participated. Their opponents scored 11 of them in these games, whereas Manchester United bagged a total of 12. Previous results aside, we must now wait to see whether that pattern might be sustained in this upcoming game. Anthony Martial (Hip Injury), Christian Eriksen (Ankle Injury), and Donny van de Beek (Knee Injury) are unavailable for Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag.
Betis Preview & Team News
In their previous fixture, Real Betis drew 0-0 in the La Liga match with Real Madrid. It was the away side’s fourth straight game without tasting a defeat. Betis have been dangerous up front in the lead-up to this encounter, scoring 12 times in their last six matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Real Betis can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same outings. Due to a mostly full-strength squad, there is only the sole fitness worry for the Real Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini to contend with. Nabil Fekir (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be in action. Martín Montoya cannot play in this game through suspension.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Despite being dismantled last weekend, we believe Manchester United will bounce back. Their chances of challenging the Premier League are quite slim, so they should seek Europa League glory. Therefore, Man Utd should celebrate a win by at least two goals here.
Goals Market Prediction
Both teams have been involved in many high-scoring games lately, and this one shouldn’t be much different. The crowd at Old Trafford should enjoy at least three goals in total on Thursday evening.
