Manchester United(WDWWL):

- 2-2 vs Sevilla – Europa League
- 2-0 vs Everton – Premier League
- 1-0 vs Brentford – Premier League

Sevilla(WDDWL):
- 2-0 vs Valencia – La Liga
- 2-2 vs Manchester United – Europa League
- 2-2 vs Celta Vigo – La Liga
- 2-0 vs Cadiz – La Liga
- 0-2 vs Getafe – La Liga
Both clubs are in good shape, Manchester United clocked their only loss however to top four Newcastle which shows that they’re lacking strength against better sides. The rest of their wins are against relatively weak opponents like Nottingham Forest who are nearer to the bottom of the Premier League; Everton is also a weak opponent. Sevila has recorded only one loss in it’s last five games but they have an excellent Europa League record and have won 23 of their last 26 home games; an excellent result.
BTTS Market
Looking at the teams first leg of the quarter-final, it’s likely that both teams will score since Manchester United has some ferocious attacking players but a weakened defense as their team faces an injury crisis. This weakened United defense will give Sevilla an opportunity to strike against them. My verdict has to be that both teams will score as there’s good reason to believe it; a safe bet for the accumulator.
BTTS Verdict: Yes
Over/Under Market
The last match between these two outfits was over 3.5 as the match ended in a 2-2 draw. I believe that Sevilla will have an even further chance to put goals past the United net as their defense is weakened, I’m sure that the manager will even adjust tactics to take advantage of this. I predict that this match will end with over 2.5 goals and a 2-1 win for Sevilla. For my betting card personally, I’ll be looking at over 2.5 goals just to be safe, however, this match could end up with even over 3.5 goals as it did last time.
Over/Under Verdict: Over 2.5
