The Europa League quarter-finals gets underway this Thursday. Man United will be hungry to win Europe’s second-tier club competition as they look to continue their rebuild but could face strong competition from the likes of Roma.
Straight Wins
Jose Mourinho will be trying to win the Europa League, 20-years after he claimed his first ever European trophy, the UEFA Cup with former club FC Porto.
The team from Rome should prove to be too strong for Dutch side Feyenoord, though this game could be competitive and ultimately very close.
1xbet have Roma to win at 2.34. Playabets have this bet at 2.33.
Man United are up against Europa League “specialists” Sevilla. The Spanish side are struggling domestically and so United will be the favourites to advance from this tie. The La Liga outfit could just make things difficult for Erik Ten Hag’s men, especially due to their pedigree and vast experience when it comes to playing in and winning this tournament.
Playabets have Man United at 1.41 to win. 1xbet have this bet at 1.40.
Over 2.5
Bayer Leverkusen should prove to be too strong for Union Saint-Gilloise. The latter, from Belgium have been a surprise package in the tournament this season but it is hard to see them going further than this stage.
Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso will be looking to prove his worth as a manager even more. Playabets have this bet at 1.72. Betway also have it at 1.72.
After a few years of underachievement locally and abroad, Juventus will go all-out to beat Sporting Lisbon and should be the firm favourites to advance from this tie. Winning the Europa League also presents the Old Lady with perhaps their best chance of playing in next season’s Champions League.
Playabets and Betway have this bet at 2.26.
