Europa League Final Betting Preview PT 2
- By A.J. Ryder on May 24, 2021 21:32 GMTOne reckons that Villareal think they can win this match, but they will need to rely on their goalkeeper to step up and they will need an organized team performance as opposed to moments of individual brilliance. They will definitely be nervous about Manchester United coming into the penalty areas as so many of United’s goals seem to come from penalties.

In regards to the outright winner market, you’ll find United priced at a relatively slim 4/9 listing, and that’s not a bad price when you consider they are 11/13 just to win in the first 90 minutes. It would be very “Manchester United” for them to take this one to penalties - but you also reckon that OGS knows a thing or two about winning European trophies in extra time now, doesn’t he?
Villareal can be backed at 9/4 to win the match by any method.
One can expect United to name a full strength side on Thursday and one has to assume that we will likely see Cavani and Greenwood starting up front with Rashford on the left. Pogba, Fernandes and likely Scott McTominay will start in midfield and it’s going to be worth keeping your eyes on McTominay to score the first goal in this match.
In fact, it could be a contest like this that sees a low scoring result like 1-0 with the only goal actually coming from a player who isn’t primarily on the pitch to score goals. A winning header from Harry McGuire or a well-hit shot from Luke Shaw could wind up sealing this one and you can bank on some great prices if that’s the case.
