The draws for the Round of 16 UEFA Europa League threw up a blockbuster fixture with Manchester United trading tackles with Italian giants AC Milan for a place in the next round of UEFA second-tier competition.
This undoubtedly the fixture of the round and onlookers will be hoping it lives up to the billing and pre-match hype.
Read on to find out the betting markets where we have found value with our betting tips for this game between these two European heavyweights.
Manchester United will take on AC Milan in the last-16 tie hoping to continue their run in the Europa League. The former English Champions began their European sojourn in the more prestigious UEFA Champions League, but they could not make it out of a very tricky Group H which included PSG, RB Leipzig.
However, the Red Devils have taken the opportunity provided by Europe’s less prestigious club competition to add to their collection of European trophies. The English side will be buzzing, and they will be buoyed by their recent success over rivals Manchester City in the league.
Realistically, the Europa League provides the Mancunian team to win a trophy this season. And if their form in the competition is anything to by, the Italians might just be in for a tough duel.
The Rossoneri are also having a fine season this term. They have exhibited resurgence with Stefano Pioli at the helm of affairs, but they have struggled since the turn of the year with only two wins from their last seven matches in all competitions.
In the Europa League, they have been riding their luck to reach the last-16. Stefano Pioli’s had to depend on the away goals rule to book a place in this round and consequently, they are widely regarded as underdogs.
Having said that, Milan are no pushovers and Manchester United will do well not to underrate their Italian opponents.
This contest will be closer than what the forms of the respective teams suggest. United are the form team and AC Milan are also not helped by a long list of players on the treatment table. Given all of these factors, United should edge it.
