Unable to win in the first leg, Man United will face an extremely difficult match on the field of Sevilla. MU’s ability to win in this match is not high because the squad lacks many star players.
Predict the match Sevilla vs MU
The first leg of this match took place with a scenario that no one could have imagined. Man United got off to a stormy start with a Marcel Sabitzer brace in the first half. The “Red Devils” also had many opportunities after that but could not take advantage to finish the match.
Thinking MU would have an easy victory, the situation completely reversed in the last few minutes of the match. An own goal from Tyrell Malacia helped Sevilla shorten the score in the 84th minute. Almost immediately after that, Lisandro Martinez suffered a serious injury and MU had to play with 10 people because coach Ten Hag had replaced 5 players. The lack of players in the last 10 minutes of the game made Man United pitifully go into the net to pick up the ball for the second time. This time it was Harry Maguire who unlucky enough to shake De Gea’s net.
However, MU still entered the second leg against Sevilla with high confidence. Ten Hag’s teachers and students have won 3 consecutive matches in the Premier League without conceding after losing face-to-face against Newcastle. The “Red Devils” have regained 3rd place in the rankings and the opportunity to finish in the top 4 in the Premier League this year is extremely bright.
Man United need not think about the Premier League race this week. After the great battle in Seville, MU will march to London to kick the FA Cup semi-final against Brighton. This is the time for Man United to focus on maximum energy and win important victories.
Unfortunately, the force of Man United was seriously damaged in the trip to Spain tonight. The team’s number 1 scorer, Marcus Rashford, has returned to training but the opportunity to play is still open. The team’s number 1 assist midfielder, Bruno Fernandes, was suspended again for a confusing yellow card in the first leg. That’s not to mention the main central defender pair Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane will be out of action for the next several weeks.
The absence of the best attacking options puts the burden on the rest of the players. Antony will be the player with the biggest goal scorer responsibility because he is given a lot of delicious opportunities and is also a player capable of scoring dangerous goals. Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho also need to improve their finishing ability against Sevilla if MU wants a triumphant song.
Indeed, Sevilla is a formidable opponent and always causes Man United trouble when confronting. Sevilla are unbeaten in the last 5 matches against MU in all competitions. The “Red Devils” played overwhelmingly in the first leg but were still powerless to defeat the opponent from Spain.
In this season, Sevilla played very poorly and even fell into the relegation race in La Liga. But when it was time to meet Man United, Sevilla started playing stably again.
Last weekend, Sevilla won the match 6 points against Valencia. These 3 points help Sevilla rise to 13th place in the rankings. A relegation spot is almost certainly in the pocket of Jose Luis Mendilibar’s teachers and students.
More importantly, Sevilla came out of the game with a hostile atmosphere on Valencia’s field without any problems in terms of force. Contrary to Man United, Sevilla has no shortage of players in the second leg. With the goal of relegation considered complete, Sevilla has no barriers and will do its best to eliminate MU from the Europa League.
In fact, winning the Europa League will make Sevilla’s season a complete success. This is also the most likely path for Sevilla to win tickets to the Champions League next season, because reaching the top 4 of La Liga is now an impossible task.
Sevilla have won 23 of their 26 home matches in the Europa League arena. Before the match, Ivan Rakitic warned Man United that the atmosphere at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium was extremely different and that the “Red Devils” would be in big trouble here. And obviously this is not a threatening warning, but the Croatian player is just telling the truth.
With a crippled force and lack of support, Man United is likely to receive an unhappy result at Sevilla’s field.
Asian commentary Sevilla vs MU
Sevilla wins Asia (+0.5)
Man United is highly rated to outperform Sevilla in the first leg with an Asian handicap of up to 1.5 goals. But in the second leg, the “Red Devils” only accepted 0.5 goals. This drop alone shows that a victory is unlikely.
Sevilla’s home form has been extremely stable lately. They have won Asia 6 of the last 8 matches at home. Meanwhile, MU has always been known for its poor away record this season, especially in important matches. The loss of two important detonators in attack, Rashford and Bruno Fernandes, as well as the loss of two shields in the central defender position made MU really lose in this match.
Multiple goals (over 2.5)
Matches between Sevilla and Man United often have many goals. Including friendly, 5 out of 6 matches between the two teams have more than 2.5 goals. No matter which team gets the first goal, the game will fall to the other team. With this scenario, the probability of many goals appearing is very high.
Multiple corners (over 9.5)
Both Man United and Sevilla are good corner earners. Considering in the last 10 matches, Sevilla has received an average of 5 corners and Man United has 7. The two teams promise to play attacks with high speed in the next match and the attacks also take place directly. Therefore, the possibility of many corners appearing is very high.
Prediction: Sevilla 2-1 MU
