We expect an intriguing encounter here and our Europa League predictions for this clash will be picked from Bet9ja and Betwinner
MANCHESTER UNITED
Manchester United ended a six-year trophy drought by winning the EFL Cup back in February but they will certainly be looking to add onto that by going all out for this Europa League trophy, a competition they last won in 2017 under Mourinho. The Red Devils are for all intents and purposes out of the Premier League title race. So this is a good chance to stack up more silverware.
Ten Hag’s side looked wobbly after winning the EFL Cup but they have steadied the ship a bit with back-to-back wins over Brentford and Everton in the Premier League to stay 4th on the log, three points clear of Tottenham. Fixtures have been coming in fast and furious and they will get no reprieve anytime soon with a second leg of this to come next week at Estadio Ramon and FA Cup semifinal against Brighton to follow immediately after that.
United are very much in the hunt for a treble of sorts and will be motivated to have a go at Sevilla here after they dispatched Spanish opposition (Barcelona and Real Betis) in the previous elimination rounds.

SEVILLA
Sevilla have totally wet the bed in La Liga this season. They are 13th on the log and at some point, they were treading precariously in relegation territory. This is underwhelming considering they have perennially been in the hunt for European places, finishing 4th on each of the last three La Liga campaigns.
Their history in this competition however makes them a dangerous opponent as they have shown year after year they can reserve their best for this cup, having won it six times, which is more than any other club, with their last triumph coming in 2020 where they eliminated United in the semis en route to winning it.
Jose Luis Mendilibar’s side didn’t look quite convincing in the knockout rounds against PSV and Fenerbahce though. They will need to raise their game if they hope to do what their La Liga counterparts failed to do.

MAN UNITED VS SEVILLA 1/4 FINAL TIPS
Although Sevilla have a great record in this competition, this has been a difficult season for them and they have struggled to find any rhythm. Man United have been a vastly improved team this season and their performance particularly at home has been commendable. We expect them to go on the attack early as they try to establish an advantage to carry into the 2nd leg. They have scored at least 2 goals at Old Trafford in 21 of their last 23 games. We are backing the same to replicate here @ 1.50 with Betwinner as the opening of the betting tips today.
TIP #1: Manchester United Over 1.5 goals
Sevilla are likely to be on the back footing for the most part in this clash. The Red Devils have been dominant at home this season where they are unbeaten in the last 24 matches (21W, 3D). This could see Sevilla resorting to physicality to try and contain them. As a result, we fancy them to get a few bookings here. Bet9ja app have them getting 3 bookings priced @ 1.91 and we feel there is value in picking this as our last shout here.
TIP #2: Sevilla Over 2.5 bookings in the game
