Manchester United will host Athletic Bilbao at the Old Trafford in a second leg from the Europa League 1/2-finals. Stick with us and our Best value soccer betting tips and predictions for this fixture. Are you ready?
Manchester United are touching the final after a stunning 3-0 win in the first leg in Bilbao. Casemiro opened the score for the Red Devils while a brace from Bruno Fernandes put United seriously ahead. Of course, we can say that the main reason for this was Dani Vivian’s red card in the 35th minute – this seriously disrupted Athletic’s plans and made United’s task much easier.
Now Ruben Amorim’s team have to finish what they started. It’s quite possible to see the Portuguese coach lining up the same players from the first leg. Rasmus Højlund could lead the attack, supported by Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes. Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte did a good job in midfield in the first leg.
Athletic Bilbao can’t use the suspended Dani Vivian, but this is their least worry given the fact how the first match ended. Athletic’s chances are close to zero now, but they still have to play the second leg, too.
Aitor Paredes is expected to replace Dani Vivian in defense while the two brothers Inaki and Nico Williams are Bilbao’s biggest hope for a good performance at the Old Trafford.
Athletic Bilbao are a club that usually plays with a lot of energy and enthusiasm, but now they are probably not in the best mood. It means that the manager Ernesto Valverde will have to dig deep in order to motivate his players for something more.
