Previous Clash: Manchester United vs Sevilla
The last time these two teams met was in the semifinal of the Europa League 2020. Sevilla won the match 2-1, with Bruno Fernandes scoring the first goal for United from a penalty kick. Luuk de Jong scored the second goal for Sevilla, securing their place in the final match.
Manchester United Playing XI
We can expect to see David De Gea in goal for United, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Nicolas Martinez, and Tyrell Malacia in defense. Marcel Sabitzer and Casemiro are likely to feature in the midfield, while Antony, Bruno Fernandes, and Jadon Sancho will be responsible for creating chances. Up front, Anthony Martial will lead the attack.
Sevilla Playing XI
Sevilla will most likely start with Yassine Bono in goal, with Jesus Navas, Joao Cancelo, Jules Kounde, and Marcos Acuna in defense. Ivan Rakitic and Fernando will control the midfield, with Lucas Ocampos, Pau Torres, and Erik Lamela attacking down the wings. Youssef En-Nesyri will be the lone striker up front.
Match Prediction
Manchester United comes into this match in good form, having won their last game against Everton 2-0, with goals from Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial. Sevilla also won their last game against Real Betis 5-1 on aggregate. However, United has the home advantage and a strong squad, even without Marcus Rashford. Sevilla, on the other hand, has a strong history in the Europa League, having won the championship six times.
Based on current form and squad strength, we predict that Manchester United will win this match 2-0.
