Manchester United vs Betis Prediction: the Visitors Want to Upset the Devils

Prediction for the Europa League Manchester United vs Betis match, which will take place on March 9th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

In the previous stage of the Europa League playoffs, Manchester United had to face the best team in the current La Liga campaign, Barcelona. Unlike their underdog status, Erik ten Hag's team played better than Blaugrana. The game at Camp Nou did not reveal the winner (2:2), while the Mancunians shot twice at home, a 2:1 victory. MU has made good progress, but the club's recent performance in the English championship is truly disastrous. The Devils conceded seven goals from Liverpool and left the field without any productive action. Despite this defeat, MJ takes third place in the EPL table.

Betis began their campaign in the Europa League playoffs from the last 16. Manuel Pellegrini's side dominated Group C, leaving no chance for their rivals. They earned 16 points in six meetings, six ahead of second Roma. Betis failed to extend their winning streak in La Liga to four matches the previous weekend, but the opponent was the top one, Real Madrid. For Pellegrini's team, the home game ended in a nil-nil draw. At this stage, Betis occupies fifth place in the Spanish championship standings.

There are some interesting statistics regarding the Betis coach. Under Manuel Pellegrini, Villarreal faced MU four times on the European stage. All games ended 0:0. Obviously, Pellegrini's shutout series against the Mancunians should be interrupted at the end of the upcoming game. There are several reasons for that.

Pellegrini is well known for his work at the Man City. The team once caused many problems to United's formidable squad under Sir Alex Ferguson. Now Betis is in good form, claiming a place in the Champions League through the top 4 of La Liga. Not surprisingly, Betis won Group C by a wide margin.

Manchester United returns home after a disaster against their most hated opponent, Liverpool. The last time MU blew out the EPL match was only in the second round against Brentford, 0:4. After that encounter, ten Hag's squad began a solid streak. We expect a similar reaction from Manchester United. Victory at all costs in the upcoming game will reduce the pressure on the team and the home team coach.
