Europa League Final Betting Preview PT 1
- By A.J. Ryder on May 24, 2021 21:29 GMTNow that the final day of action is complete in the English Premier League, attention is starting to turn to the English clubs that are still contesting cup finals in Europe. We’ve obviously got the massive clash between Chelsea and Manchester City coming up in the Champions League but there’s also plenty of attention on the other side of Manchester with Ole Gunnar Soslkjaer’s men looming large as the betting favourites to hoist the Europa League trophy.

While wrapping up second place in the English Premier League is certainly better than some expected OGS and his men to do this year, the fact remains that he hasn’t delivered a trophy yet for the Old Trafford club and you can
reckon this one is certainly going to be viewed as his trophy to win.
United were able to hold their solid league position based primarily on their excellent away form - they are one of the few English sides to not lose a match away from home all season long - but they were also able to build up a haul of 86 points thanks to their ability to come back from conceding early goals.
One might reckon that United will hope Villareal get to them early and they are forced into their favoured position of being 1-0 down only to come back and win the game comfortably 3-1. That has happened a number of times this season and OGS knows that he will have his players fired up for this one and ready to make a bold statement ahead of next season’s action.
Taking a look at the odds right now, punters will find Manchester United trading as the odds-on favourites to win the 2021 Europa League with a best price of around 11/13 being floated by several top bookmakers. Villareal can be backed at a price of around 4/1 to win the match in 90 minutes while the draw (which would see us head to extra time or even penalties) can be backed around an 11/4 listing.
