Manchester United put their unbeaten Europa League record on the line in Bilbao on Wednesday, as they face Spurs in a high-stakes all-English showdown. With Champions League qualification on the line, both sides are desperate to salvage something from disappointing campaigns.
⚽️ Red Devils to edge it in Bilbao
Neither team has impressed domestically this season, but United have shown resilience in Europe. They’re unbeaten in 14 Europa League games and have come through tough ties against Athletic Club, Lyon, and Real Sociedad.
Spurs, by contrast, have looked off the pace. They’ve failed to generate even 1 xG in any of their last three outings and continue to leak goals – conceding twice in back-to-back games. With United’s big-game experience and trophy-winning know-how, they look the better bet to lift silverware.
Prediction 1: Manchester United to Win – 7/4
The Red Devils have the edge in experience and European pedigree.
🧠 Fernandes to deliver again
Bruno Fernandes has carried United at times this season and has been electric in Europe. The Portuguese midfielder is joint-top scorer in the Europa League with seven goals in his last eight games – and looks primed for another decisive display.
Prediction 2: Bruno Fernandes to Score Anytime – 11/4
Fernandes has the quality and confidence to strike in the final.
🔢 Value in 2-1 scoreline
United have scored exactly twice in five Europa League ties this season but rarely keep clean sheets – conceding in 11 of 14. Spurs have also struggled to keep teams out. That makes the 2-1 scoreline a tempting play for correct score backers.
Prediction 3: Correct Score 2-1 Man Utd – 17/2
A repeat of United’s Europa League pattern could play out once more.
