Villarreal vs Manchester United, Europa League Final, 26.05.2021

Manchester United will lock horns with Villarreal in Gdansk on Wednesday in the final of the Europa League with each side keen to wrap up the season with silverware.

United lifted this trophy four years ago under Solskjaer’s predecessor Jose Mourinho while Villarreal are looking to win their first continental prize since winning the now-defunct Intertoto Cup back in 2003 and 2004.

A competitive encounter is on the cards here and we will examine 1xBet prices for our betting tips in this preview.

VILLARREAL

Villarreal may be the underdogs going into Wednesday’s final, but an impressive record of 12 wins and two draws in their 14 Europa League matches en route to this final suggests that they will not be a pushover. They underlined their credentials in the semifinal, with coach Unai Emery getting his revenge on Arsenal, dominating the first leg, albeit with a 2-1 final scoreline, and putting up a masterful defensive shift in the second leg to send his former employers crashing out of the tournament.

Emery will be looking to add yet another chapter of his glorious adventure in this competition having won it on three different occasions since 2014.

More importantly for them though, having lost to Real Madrid in their final La Liga match, they face the prospects of playing in the UEFA Conference League. A win would of course elevate them to the much more superior stage – the Champions League.

MANCHESTER UNITED

With one eye on this final, Solskjaer made wholesale changes on the team sheet for the final day of the Premier League season and his faith in the academy boys was handsomely rewarded as Anthony Elanga’s superb header and Juan Mata’s penalty ensured they finished the campaign with aplomb as they picked up an impressive 2-1 against Wolves at the Molineux.

Solskjaer will now be looking to replicate his predecessor and bag his first trophy as United coach and indeed the first for the club since Mourinho beat Ajax in the final four years ago.

The Red Devils have been favorites to win it all since exiting the Champions League and they have indeed proven their mettle with impressive knockout round wins over Italian bigwigs AC Milan and Roma. They cannot rest on their laurels though, as, in Villarreal, they have a formidable foe.

Possible Line Ups

VILLARREAL VS MANCHESTER UNITED BETTING PREDICTIONS

Whereas most finals are usually drab affairs with the rare magical genius or momentous blunders deciding the game, this one has a different feel to it. Both teams have been impressive in their paths to the final and they both certainly want to win it. With questions still lingering on Maguire’s fitness for this match, goals are likely to come in bucketloads here. United have struggled without their captain but they have had no problems banging goals themselves. We expect an end-to-end entertaining final and we are backing both teams to score and over 2.5 goals to be scored @ 2.42 as our initial betting tip for today.

Speaking of goals, United have reaped in the dividends of signing a proven goalscorer in Cavani, particularly in the final few weeks of the season. The Uruguayan forward’s return of nine goals in his past 10 matches earned him plaudits and a new United contract. Bagging a goal in the final would certainly be the icing on the cherry and @ 2.45 we feel this is a fantastic value to go with for our final tip. Despite his successes, the one thing missing in his CV is a major European club trophy and we feel this is more than enough motivation for him to go on the prowl.

We have other straight wins for tomorrow prepared by our team of experts. Take a look and stand by for a major windfall.
