Real Betis vs Man United preview & prediction

Match preview

Thursday’s key matchup between Real Betis and Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United team at the Estadio Benito Villamarin marks the resumption of the UEFA Europa League.

In the Premier League rankings, Manchester United is now in third position and has made significant progress this year. The Red Devils must step it up this week after being held to a disappointing 0-0 draw in their previous match.

Real Betis, on the other hand, has stepped up so far this season and is now in fifth place in the La Liga standings. The Andalusian team has plenty to show in this game after last week’s 1-1 draw with Villarreal.

Under Ten Hag, Manchester United gained prominence and will be motivated to win trophies this year. This season, Marcus Rashford has grown into himself, and this week, he plans to increase his goal total.

Real Betis is a powerful team when on their game, but they were utterly outplayed in the first leg. Manchester United should be able to win this game because they are currently the superior team.
