I will refrain from betting on this match. A few days ago I also thought that the Manchester United team is the favorite in this match. Because they were in very good form. But now the Manchester United team is not in good form. I cannot be satisfied with their performance in the last few matches. Their performance is quite erratic. On the other hand, Sevilla will play defensive tactics, it is certain. If Manchester United's attacking players do not perform well, it will not be possible for them to break Sevilla's defense. I think the first leg match is going to be a draw. Even if it is Manchester United's home match, they will not be able to defeat the Sevilla team.
it's true that Manchester United are currently in a decline in performance but that happened in the Premier League and I'm sure they will appear differently in the Europe League because this is their big target to be champions.
of course the motivation is different for the Manchester United team, it is no longer possible for them to win the Premier League while in the Europa League they are the team that is highly favored to win.
after seeing Sevilla's performance this season which is very much different from the previous season, I have no hesitation in betting on Manchester United's victory in this match and even I think Manchester United will be able to win the match easily.
If I may ask how did Manchester United decline in performance? In the premier league Manchester United only lose to Newcastle which they lose their position but still having the same points with Newcastle,  it is not very sure if Newcastle can remain in that position.  After the last game Manchester united played against Newcastle no record of lose, Manchester United won Brentford.  I don't see anything to serious concerning Manchester United performance. I think they can still do better in their games in the Europa League,  because they have targets of winning Europa league .

Manchester United was 8 point ahead of Newcastle United although Manchester had one game more. But still they had one phase where they were very stable and didn't lose a Premier League game for 9 games in a row or so? Can't remember exactly, but right now they are less consistent than they used to be a short while ago. That doesn't mean they will automatically suffer from a decrease in performance in the Europa League, but it is a valid observation to say that it doesn't look as smooth at the moment. But they had a couple of injuries as well, that shouldn't be forgotten.

But I think betting on the match between Sevilla and Manchester United is the safe one if you bet on Manchester United, especially after the previous matches we saw from Sevilla and how poor they performed, however, I don't think if we can see high odds for Manchester United and betting on Sevilla is really risky and I don't think if anyone will take this risk to bet in Sevilla for this game.
Agreed, im also preferrint to take united rather than sevilla. Casemiro and eriksen will be coming back together.  Casemiro and eriksen will able to give us more guarantees compared with sevilla which is still struggling with the performance of the club. There will be a huge risk to choice when someone was picking sevilla over manchester united. MU has been facing Spanish team two times in a row and MU was winning all of the matches. There's no reason to pick sevilla at this moment.
MU looks more promising to win the match with huge scores against sevilla. There will be difference once casemiro will play along with eriksen.

It's so frustrating for MU fans to see tominay and dalot will be playing against sevilla. These players are the worst in MU. Weghors incapability to did a proper finishing. That's why ten hag was picking rashford to be a striker.
I hope that tominay will be fucking go to Newcastle. Im fuckin bored to see tominay keeps playing so badly. it will be a boomerang for MU agianst sevilla.

I think they can still do better in their games in the Europa League,  because they have targets of winning Europa league .
They have to improve in their games to win Europa, I think is their last chance to gain access to champions league. There next match will be so tough because of the past record with the team. sevilla is leading in head to head which is 3 win against Manchester United. Man u need to work add to win sevilla.
The Manchester United and Sevilla meeting will take place in the near future and they must immediately get up to reap good results in the domestic league as capital in the match later. Especially with a head to head like that, of course Manchester United is targeting its first win in the first leg later at home. But Sevilla also doesn't want them to go home without aggregate points, so if Sevilla can hold a draw in the first leg it will be an advantage in the second leg later for Sevilla.

I agree that Manchester United have been out-of-form in the English Premier League for three weeks. But they are very likely to fix this situation now considering their amazing effort against Brentford right now. They are playing a completely one-sided match for now and they are in the lead as well. I expect them to win this and boost their morale. They have another home match against Everton in the league too right before the Sevilla one. But in the same way they should be winning that one as well.
Sevilla still don't seem credible at all. I don't see the strength in them to resist Manchester United's high attacking force. I think Manchester United can get a quite advantageous result in Old Trafford already.
I didn't see the situation of these teams and how Sevilla can be better odds to risk because I can say this will be a really risky division to bet on Sevilla for this match because if they are at this stage it doesn't mean to say they are qualified for it comparing to other teams they lose the Europa League in this season even fenerbahçe because fenerbahçe had better performance than Sevilla.
Betting on this match is very risky. Manchester United's squad is stronger than Sevilla's. The Sevilla team can be considered weak this season. They have won only 8 out of 27 matches in La Liga. Although this team cannot be called strong, they have played quite well in the Europa League. The Sevilla team is tricky. And Sevilla qualified for the quarter-finals of the Europa League thanks to excellent tactics.
At the same time, I will say that the Manchester United team is not in good form right now. We have seen poor performances from United in the last few Premier League matches. And so the Sevilla team should not now be considered Manchester United's underdogs. Unsurprisingly, United was defeated by Sevilla's match strategy.

Highest form and best form and whatever anyone has to say, I know Manchester United players will say screw that shit to anything that comes in between them way as they hunt for the Europa League Competition.
Sevilla are also finding them ways back to European football, I'm sure they'll miss out on the Champions League football next season but not so sure with European Competition.

Manchester United Coach, Erik Ten Hag has already won two to three Spanish sides this season, it'll so much gladden me to see he won against another Spanish side this season.

In fact, the European League will be the peak of Manchester United's performance this season, considering that they are no longer competing for the Premiere League tittle. It would be a very wonderful thing if they could close this season with the European league trophy and look at the league next season with great pride.

Manchster united has always had a top-class composition of players, but sevilla also often brings surprises.
Manchester United have not performed well in European competition for a long time, and this season may be the start of their renaissance after several seasons where they were completely unreliable. Erik Ten Hag brought positive changes since his arrival, even though there were small problems that brought him. Now he has a great chance to prove that Manchester United was not wrong to appoint himself as Manchester United manager.

Manchester United have quite strong ambitions in the Europa League because this is a big target for them to win this season. Erik Ten Hag will do his best to bring Manchester United to victory when they face Sevilla.  Overall, Manchester United performance this season is quite good compared to last season, they even seem to be on a very impressive pace after Erik Ten Hag became their coach.

Sevilla is not a strong team this season because their performance has relatively decreased quite a lot from last season. They only have a small chance of keeping Manchester United at bay but it's a bit difficult for them to do if Manchester United can score early in the match later.
I remember when Manchester United fans were bragging about winning the league title even when they were 12 points below very funny supporters. They seem to have silently moved their hopes to the Europa league, their match with Sevilla will determine if they still have a shot at the Europa title or they suffer the same fate as they did in the EPL.

Juventus - Sporting is going to be a quite close matchup in my opinion. I don't see a big difference especially after Sporting eliminated the biggest favourite of the tournament which was Arsenal in last round.

This is making Sporting a pretty dangerous team actually. Arsenal were one of the best attacking teams in the Europa League. But Sporting still somehow resisted them in Emirates also and made it to this round by penalties. Juventus are going to be a more different opponent for them though. Juventus would play more cautious against Sporting which can make things more interesting in this matchup. It feels like Juventus can get a good result in Turin in the first leg. In that case Sporting's job would be quite difficult home.
Very correct, both teams are slightly similar in terms of playing style, I think the match will be an interesting one.  Against Arsenal, Sporting were tactically smart enough to capitalize on Arsenal’s weaknesses and I am expecting something similar against Juventus who have quite a reputation enough to make their opponent worried.

The both clubs having poor results in league games with Sevilla ranked 13th on the laliga table and they're not in good form this season. The Sevilla I know would be in the top four battling to qualify for UCL spot, but they're struggling with average clubs in Spain. Erik Ten Hag have good plans for the club, sometimes it might not be now but in the nearest future. I've doubts if Sevilla would be able to record a draw tie with the red devil's in England. Manchester united have higher chances to win Sevilla in Old Trafford, precisely they won Brentford 1 nil, a view interpreting they're bouncing back to form.

Also look at the head to head , in the last three meets between the two , since 2018 manchester united can never get a win .. it's two loses and 1 draw , bad stats for united but yeah we could be wrong ... the current manchester united vibes far better than the 5 years ago.

I go for sevilla to get through next phase though , i have pretty strong feeling on this.
Even though previously Sevilla were superior to Manchester United, this time Manchester United will turn things around. In the English league of course Manchester United are not so good for their game. But Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford will make new history for Manchester United.
The meeting statistics can indeed be used as an indicator of how the match will go, but it will not be 100% accurate which means Manchester United have a chance to improve their meeting record. Now all in all I would say that Manchester United are better than Sevilla. If you are going to Sevilla to get through this round, then I am going to Manchester United to win this game.
Meeting statistics sometimes determines matches outcome but in most cases it doesn't.  I have analyse a bet using those statistics.  Here the other side had just one winning out of 23 meetings and was given 23 odds but they defeated the opponents with 1.06.  Comparing this to Manchester - Sevilla anticipated clash, I don't think one should dwell on those past records cuz I know it will not be a perfect measure stone for the outcome. Manchester United currently is rated to be the favorable side.

That is how it should be,especially now after Manchester United has regained their form after winning yesterday night against an opponent in almost the same level as them in the Premier League which can be a boost to their moral and if they even win on weekend also then it will be great for them before they face Sevilla in Europa League.

I cannot say the same for Sevilla who are suffering this year in La Liga and I know the history that they have won this cup more than any other team but I don't think it will be the same this time,most likely they will fail to qualify against Manchester United.

Their problem is still having a lot of injured midfielders now but when they face Sevilla they still have about a week left I hope their players recover well and can play. Judging from the current condition, the midfielders are very important for Manchester United and the difference is quite visible when their core midfielders cannot play in the previous league, they are clearly struggling.
I don't even think so, casemiro was not able to play in EPL caused by he was getting suspension due to the red card. casemiro will be coming back when MU will be facing sevilla in the upcoming match of europa league. Ten Hag was just also giving the latest update about the condition of eriksen.

Quote
Asked about Eriksen, Ten Hag said: "Not for tomorrow, but he's returning on the pitch. He's returning to team training today, so we have to see now how quickly he can make progress."
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manutd-tenhag-christian-eriksen-casemiro-29626476

I think that ten hag is believing that eriksen will able to play when manchester united will be facing sevilla as well as casemiro too. That will be so good to have these players. Sevilla will be so hard to make goal against united.

MU has so many midfielders but only a few among these midfielders are performing sow ell this season including casemiro and eriksen. Ten hag hopes that these players will come bacn soon.

Their streak stops and we again see some weaknesses in their system. It means Ten Hag only can temporarily boost their players and cover individual weaknesses by a better cooperation of their players. However when player cooperation is worse and they can not cover their team-mates, general weakness of their squad is shown again and opponents can exploit it.

This decreasing performance of Manchester United and somewhat increasing performance of Sevilla in La Liga will make their matches in Europa League quarter final stage more exciting. Biggest challenge for Sevilla is don't let Manchester United score goals first. Later they might have opportunities to score goals against Manchester United. Especially we still see serious personal mistakes from Harry Maguire in United and in England squads.

I'm still favouring Manchester United very highly to eliminate Sevilla in this round of the tournament. Manchester United are the most favoured team for the Europa League title as well according to bookmakers now.
There is a reason for that of course. They were already one of the biggest favourites while Arsenal were still a part of the tournament. Now they really look like the strongest team among the ones left. They don't play like they care about the Europa League less than the Premier League. Sevilla can't hold them off that easy with this level of performance. They are having a really poor season and they should have been eliminated already by now.
I guess that is what's going to happen, but Sevilla still didn't give themselves up. We have seen how a team like Arsenal can get eliminated and since then I think that there is never a zero chance for the underdogs. This one looks so dominant on paper for Manchester United, but Arsenal vs. Braga looked even more one-sided. Sevilla can be a defense that is hard to crack although they haven't shown that in La Liga all too often this season. That doesn't mean they can't deliver a concentrated performance against Manchester United. I still think they can and this is what their first leg will be all about.

Underdog teams can also see surprises in the quarter-finals. No group should be called small. Each team qualified for the quarter-finals by proving their mettle. Sevilla may be a relatively weak team. But the Manchester United team is not in good form now. Their performances in the last few matches in the Premier League have been poor. And so the Sevilla vs Manchester United match will surely be crowded and competitive. Sevilla will take full advantage if Manchester United makes any mistakes.

I agree and we have seen a number of surprises in all kinds of soccer competitions now. It is not only the Europa League where the biggest surprise was certainly Arsenal against Braga, but also in a game like Barcelona against Real Madrid today, nobody would have expected that Barcelona gets destroyed like that. Or Bayern Munich against Freiburg. The odds are against Sevilla, but that is not surprising to anyone and not even to Sevilla. Probably they consider that their biggest chance, being underestimated by Manchester United and keeping a clean sheet for as long as possible until Manchester becomes tired and has to go to Spain with a bad home result. That is the goal Sevilla has. Perhaps not even to win that game, but to keep the result as close as possible.
