Manchester United looks to be in significantly better form than their upcoming Spanish rivals in the Europa League. I wouldn’t be surprised if, regardless of past matches, United wipe the floor with Sevilla because they can’t seem to win any matches and recently lost three matches in a row.
BTTS Market
Despite their good form, Manchester United tends to suffer against Sevilla as they’ve not won in their last three encounters. The counterbalance of Manchester United’s weakspot and good form. Both teams should score in a decent matchup.
BTTS Verdict: Yes
Over/Under Market
Manchester United has seen less than 2.5 goals scored in 5/6 of it’s last matches. The same is true for 4/5 of Sevilla’s last matches. Wisely listening to the statistics, this shows us that over 2.5 is a poor bet. Perhaps over 1.5 will be a good choice.
Over/Under Verdict: Over 1.5
