Accumulator Tip for May 01 Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds | 01 MAY, 2025

Actions continue in Europe as teams are set for the first leg of the penultimate fixture of the season. The semifinal fixtures in the Europa League will see two English representatives, Manchester United and Tottenham, face Athletic Bilbao and Bodo/Glimt, respectively. Chelsea will hope to start their Conference League journey with a win when they travel to Sweden to face Djurgarden. Below are analyses of these games and accumulated odds.

Athletic Bilbao vs Manchester United

Manchester United will continue their quest to salvage the season with the Europa League title, but they will need to defeat Athletic Club here if they truly wish to reach the final. Bilbao have been playing well at home in the Europa League and have won all six of their home games this season, but despite the poor form of the Red Devils in the English Premier League, they remain the only side that are unbeaten in European competitions this season. They have won seven and drawn five, including their dramatic display against Lyon in their last game. So, while the hosts have been exceptional at home, the visitors have always managed to avoid defeat in this competition. There is also some good news for United, as Amad Diallo, Toby Collyer, and Matthijs de Ligt are back in training. Although they may not be available for this clash, they could feature in the second leg at Old Trafford. With this, I expect both sides to find the back of the net in this clash, and the pendulum of the win might swing either way, or they might just settle for a draw. Moreover, Manchester United have conceded in their last five matches but have also scored in all six away matches in the Europa League this season.

Possible Starting Lineup

Athletic Bilbao — Unai Simón, Óscar de Marcos, Daniel Vivian, Yeray Álvarez, Yuri Berchiche, Mikel Jauregizar, Iñigo Ruiz de Galarreta, Oihan Sancet, Álex Berenguer, Iñaki Williams, Maroan Sannadi.

Manchester United — André Onana, Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Noussair Mazraoui, Patrick Dorgu, Casemiro, Kobbie Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Højlund.

Tottenham vs Bodo/Glimt

Tottenham have had a disappointing season and are viewing the Europa League title as a means to secure a place in Europe next season. Spurs are not a special side playing at home this season, having lost eight home games in the English Premier League, but they have been exceptional at home on the continental stage, remaining unbeaten this season. They have managed four wins and two draws at home this season in the Europa League. On the other hand, Bodo/Glimt have done an exceptional job to be at this stage this season despite their not-too-impressive away form. They have lost the three games they played on the road since the start of the playoffs. Regardless, I expect them to score in this clash because I don’t trust the defensive line of the hosts. The hosts have conceded in their last six home games.

Possible Starting Lineup

Tottenham — Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke, Mathys Tel.

Bodo/Glimt — Nikita Haikin, Fredrik Sjoevold, Villads Nielsen, Jostein Gundersen, Fredrik Andre Bjoerkan, Sondre Auklend, Sondre Brunstad Fet, Ulrik Saltnes, Sondre Soerli, Kasper Waarts Hoegh, Jens Petter Hauge.

Djurgarden vs Chelsea

Djurgården are breaking their personal best record after reaching a European semi-final for the first time in the history of the club. They will now face a Chelsea side that has won both the Champions League and the Europa League and is the favourite to win the Conference League. The Blues have won nine of their ten Conference League games this season, and they rested some of their stars in their last game in Europe. I expect those players to feature at this crucial time of the season. Moisés Caicedo and Enzo Fernández are scheduled to return to the lineup as Chelsea aims to continue their unbeaten run in their last eight meetings against Swedish clubs.

Possible Starting Lineup

Djurgarden — Jacob Rinne, Adam Staahl, Jacob Une Larsson, Marcus Danielson, Keita Kosugi, Hampus Finndell, Daniel Stensson, Santeri Haarala, Tobias Gulliksen, Tokmac Chol Nguen, August Priske.

Chelsea — Filip Joergensen, Josh Acheampong, Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile, Marc Cucurella, Reece James, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Tyrique George, Cole Palmer, Jadon Sancho, Christopher Nkunku.
