Manchester United have had two incredible seasons under Erik ten Hag. When the Dutchman started working at the club, he got a lot of criticism. But in the end, his team finished third, made it to the final of the FA Cup, and won the League Cup. It seemed like the second year would be even better, but they only came in eighth in the APL. They still added to the trophy collection, winning the FA Cup. In the deciding game, they beat Manchester City 2:1. This likely helped the coach keep his job. This past summer, the team already had three practice games, where they lost to Rosenborg and Arsenal 0:1 and 1:2 but beat the Rangers 2:0.
Betis
Betis is an excellent team by La Liga standards. Recently, the team has been consistently in the European Cup, finishing in fifth to seventh place. In the 2021/22 season, they won the Copa del Rey, which was a big deal. The team didn't do their best in the national championship last year but still managed to hold on to seventh place, which got them into the UEFA Conference League. Over the summer, Betis lost a few key players, including Chadi Riad and Abner. They did, however, bring in Romain Perraud and Adrian. In the lead-up to the season, the team held two control meetings. They beat Austria 5:1 but lost to Liverpool 0:1.
Expert Betting Tips
Manchester United and Betis have met up not too long ago. The teams met face-to-face in the Europa League just over a year ago. Betis won two games, 4:1 and 1:0, which meant they went to the next tournament round. Now they're the favorites for the match. While competing with top-level clubs is a bit challenging, they lost to Arsenal in the last game (1:2). However, they tend to do well against weaker teams. The Spaniards have only won one of the previous five meetings.
We shouldn't expect a lot of goals in the upcoming match. Manchester United has been pretty solid on defense recently, so in the five previous meetings with the Devils, only 11 goals were scored on average (2.20). Betis has an even more interesting statistic. The Spaniards have only shot five goals in their last four matches. They got all their goals against Austria and didn't score a single time in the remaining three games.
