The time is almost upon us for the highly anticipated Europa League semi-final face-off between Athletic Bilbao and Manchester United on Thursday. With the prize for the winners of the match being a place in the final of the competition, this really should be a great game.
Our tips, poll and stats for Athletic Bilbao v Manchester United can all be found here - plus the latest match odds.
Athletic Bilbao will be looking for another win after the 1-0 La Liga victory vs UD Las Palmas.
In that match, Athletic Bilbao had 49% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Athletic Bilbao was Iñaki Williams (5'). On the other side, Las Palmas got 10 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Fewer than three goals per match were seen in 5 of the past 6 meetings where Athletic Bilbao have taken part. In terms of the goal split from that period, opposing sides scored a total of 2 and Athletic Bilbao managed a tally of 6. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be sustained here, of course.
Since being beaten in their last game against Wolverhampton Wanderers in Premier League competition, Manchester United and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that match, Manchester United had 60% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. At the other end, Wolverhampton Wanderers got 4 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. Pablo Sarabia (77') scored for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The numbers tell their own story, and Manchester United have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 12 goals overall. Defensively, Manchester United have not been doing too well.
Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim has multiple availability issues to deal with. Joshua Zirkzee (Thigh problems), Ayden Heaven (Foot injury), Amad Diallo (Ankle injury) and Lisandro Martínez (Cruciate ligament injury) miss out here.
We envisage that Manchester United have enough to breach the defence of this Athletic Bilbao lineup, however it may not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We can see a narrow 2-1 win for Athletic Bilbao when all is said and done. Should be a good one.
Regarding the current betting odds on the 90 min. result market, a victory for Athletic Bilbao is available for 2, backing the draw is 3.5 & betting on a win for Manchester United gets you 3.6. These are the best returns available at this very moment.
