Manchester United have a home clash against Sevilla to kick things off and the Red Devils are likely to be in lots of Europa League accumulator bets to claim a first leg victory. After all, they have largely been strong at Old Trafford and claimed victories over Barcelona and Real Betis en route to this stage of the competition, with Ten Hag’s side already having knowhow.
United won the EFL Cup final when beating Newcastle United and the team seem well suited to knockout competition, with Marcus Rashford having been preserved for the rest of the season by not attending the England Euro 2024 qualifiers. Casemiro will also be well rested domestically considering he’s serving a ban for a recent red card.
It’s hard to see how Sevilla are going to find a way past the Red Devils, although the La Liga outfit did manage to overcome Fenerbahce in the last sixteen stage, with PSV Eindhoven knocked out in the previous round and they will regard this tie as a shot to nothing under a new manager who will look to keep things tight in the first leg.
Even so, Manchester United are hot favourites to qualify and we should anticipate a comfortable victory as the Red Devils look to juggle a fixture schedule that also includes an upcoming FA Cup semi-final appearance. There are different ways to get with the home side and that includes backing them to win to nil considering a clean sheet could be on the cards.
