Real Betis vs Manchester United
UEFA Europa League
Date: 16 March 2023, Thursday
Kick-off at 17:45 UK / 18:45 CET
Venue: Estadio Benito Villamarin (Sevilla).
Manchester United have all but closed the R16 Europa League tie against Real Betis, beating the Spaniards 4-1 seven days ago in the first leg at Old Trafford.
The two teams are set to meet each other in the reverse outing on Thursday evening at Estadio Benito Villamarin.
The hosts will be highly motivated to make amends for the horrendous performance shown on English soil. It will be easier said than done, though, conceding their back line has not quite been rock-solid of late.
Real Betis did keep Villarreal to a 1-1 stalemate on Sunday evening at Estadio de la Ceramica but we must say that Manuel Pellegrini’s men faced 15 shots on the occasion.
Los Beticos are fifth in La Liga standings and they will desperately need a home win over Mallorca on Sunday afternoon to keep ground on Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid in the battle for the top four finish.
Manchester United, on the other side, host Fulham in the FA Cup quarterfinal on Sunday afternoon at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils took just one point in the previous two Premier League outings, failing to find the back of the net in either.
Another win over Betis would boost the team’s confidence ahead of the remaining challenges both domestically and in Europe.
Real Betis gave away plenty of chances in the last several games, both in Spanish La Liga and in Europa League. We expect the English outfit to create loads up front once again and to pick up another victory against the obviously inferior opposition.
The away win is paid at the odds of 1.95 odds, while we also like the Over 2.5 goals FT bet at the 1.90 odds.
