UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[sotelorene]

That can't be a reference, Bilbao this season has performed quite impressively so it's not easy for Manchester United in this semifinal round even though many favor Manchester United but I don't think because of that the percentage will increase.
The first leg tonight Manchester United will play away which of course makes it even more difficult for them but if Manchester United plays safe and takes advantage of the second round later when playing at home maybe they can advance to the final, it's about strategy and it's worth looking forward to.

The strategy is to win and I'm sure both team coaches will give their best for this semifinal match because this is about not being so stressed when undergoing the second leg. In addition, Bilbao also really wants to be in the Europa League final this season so the team will definitely do everything they can to win early at home, while Manchester United is a team that will not allow its opponents to win early in this first leg because the second leg takes place at Old Trafford.

Well both team will be coming to the pitch to win today but people who plays better and has luck will be victorious in that match. The advantage Atletico Bibao has is this match is that they have good form than Manchester united but so far we have seen that is not longer about form because Manchester united have been wining all these while even with there bad performance and how they are managing to win or scale through is what I don't really know and there pattern is drawing first leg and coming back the second leg to win, let see if it will work for them in this semifinals but if they should qualify for finals then, they will lift the trophy.

Bilbao is the team in better form and many people think they will win the cup.

They have an obstacle like Manchester but I think they will overcome that obstacle. I don't know if they will win the cup but Bilbao will play in the final.
Manchester eliminated Lyon dramatically with goals scored in extra time in the previous round and came here.
Bilbao is my favorite in this match.
The other match of the evening is Tottenham and Bodo/Glimt. Tottenham is the clear favorite here but I think the fairy tale will go all the way to the final and I think we will see Bodo in the final.
Tottenham Bodo match is a match that is likely to be more goal-rich and entertaining than Bilbao Manu match.

Crowded who doubted the success rate of Manchester United in the European League. If the poll is made to find out the percentage that is the ralling of Manchester United will fail, I think the numbers will be large, but I still see a percentage that is not so bad at the success rate of Manchester United to go to the final round.

Bilbao this season is better than Manchester United in the Domestic League, but in the European League, both of them are balanced and Manchester United's dramatic victory over Lyon in the final quarter round might be the last success rate of Manchester United because their chances of going to the final round will stop.
This does not mean that Manchester United can't do much. Who knows they will incarnate like a super strong team later.

Honestly Man UTD like playing a draw in the first leg and come back and win the encounter especially at Old Trafford and it has become a tradition for them this season but this time around I believe Manchester United will face the hardest test of them all, the mistakes Athletic Bilbao made against Rangers will surely not repeat itself tonight, if any of such mistake happens then the Red Devils are definitely going through. This game is all about make use of every opportunity you have, convert them all and make your opponent wondering, any team that does that will be the winner. Between both teams I'd pick the host as the favorite, both teams do struggle in their respective leagues but Bilbao are far way better than Manchester United and the goals will be more than 2 this time around, I'd be going for a 4-1 win for the home side Athletic Bilbao.

In this semifinal first leg match, I have an assumption that there is a surprising concept that might happen.

In this first leg I have a feeling that Bilbao will win the match and in the second leg Man United will be able to beat Bilbao and qualify for the final.
And for the Spurs match, it seems certain that Ange Postecoglou's team can beat Bodo/Glimt with ease. But I don't think Bodo/Glimt are as weak a team as we think.

Remember, this is a semifinal. Anything can happen in the first leg.

Very tempting odds my friend.
I like the way you take risks but are you betting parlay or single bet? personally I probably wouldn't put them together as a parlay, the reason being that Spurs vs Bodo could be a bust anyway Spurs are playing at home and there is no reason for them to lose but I tend to think it will be a draw, on the other hand I support your hunch about Bilbao and Man Utd, I am pretty sure Bilbao will win this first leg.

I take only a single bet in semi final. It's in Bilbao vs United game. Very confident Bilbao to secure pretty good aggregates against Manchester United. Although their odds are only slightly lower than United, they have greater chance to create big aggregates in this game.

Manchester United's performance has been so anomaly this season. it doubts me them to win the game considering semi final is often become a tougher game than the previous rounds. Their opponent's stats from the previous rounds are not that good, but still far better than them.

It's the reason why i think Bilbao will beat Manchester United in this game. The worst thing is that when the result is draw.

Yes, I also think that Athletic Bilbao should beat Manchester today, this tournament is very important for them, because they need to win the home match, and they need to make the best possible handicap for themselves before the big match in Manchester. Both of these teams are betting very much on this tournament, they want to win, but what I can say for sure is that Manchester United's defense is much worse than Athletic Bilbao's now, and I think the visitors should take advantage of this today.
By the way, yesterday I also thought that Barcelona should beat Inter in the semi-finals, and as it turned out, Inter was much stronger. But I think that you shouldn't compare these two semi-finals, because Manchester is much weaker than Inter now. Therefore, I also think that Athletic Bilbao should win today, a draw in the first match will definitely play into Amorim's hands.

[yudi09]

Later, I will favor Bilbao because of the quality of their game even though Manchester United this season has performed beyond expectations during the UEFA Europa League with a new format.

The odds for Athletic Bilbao is quite high, it's @2.10, looks like people think Manchester United can still able to fight against Manchester United.

I guess the result would be 3-1 favor on Athletic Bilbao.

2.10 odds for Athletic Bilbao, that's good and can be bet on. Of course it's a good opportunity for those who are not sure about Manchester United's performance.
I have included Athletic Bilbao as the team I chose in the betting list along with Tottenham.
To anticipate, I made two betting lists. The first list, I included Bilbao and Tottenham to win and in the second betting list, I chose over and under for two Europa League matches.

Europa League matchday and we're watching Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United in the semi final. I actually think it will make more sense to see both EPL clubs in the Europa League final. Manchester United headcoach, Ruben Amorim will lead his club in the Europa League. We know they've been declined in performance in the EPL but when it comes to the Europa League, they're unbeaten and always coming up with different patterns to win games. On the other hand, the visitors are not here to jeopardize their path, they know exaclty how to handle positions.  Athletic Club facing Manchester United at Old Trafford tonight. This is the big game we've been waiting for, there are presence of compromising stats and we know what it simply means.

[Alpha Marine]

The fact that the match will be played in Spain and Manchester United's recent poor performance make Athletic Bilbao the natural favorite. I think Athletic Bilbao is the team that can win this match. However, Manchester United, whose only way to qualify for the Champions League is to win the Europa League, may have come to this match very well prepared. If their goalkeeper Onana does not make an absurd mistake, they may have a chance to win the match.

Even before the semi-finals, I've picked Bilbao as the favourites to win the Europa League. Their biggest hurdle is getting to the final because the final will be played in their stadium, and they have a higher chance to win it over any team they meet in the final.

I'll pick Bilbao to win today's game because they're simply the better team than United, but with Sancet out injured, things might be complicated for them. Sancet is an important part of that team. Even though all other players like Nico Williams will be available, I still think they will miss Sancet.
Id like to see how the Manchester defence deals with Nico Willanms though.

The odds are not deciders of how a game end and have never been. All you have to do is exercise patience until kick-off. That 3 to 1 is a poor prediction considering how these clubs are not good goalscoring sides in Europe. And as for those who don't know,  Manchester United are still the only unbeaten side in European football this season because there are not enough quality sides in the Europa League Competition to beat them. I'll take as an advantage to win this competition. And for the predictions? I'd say a 1-1 after final time.

The fact that the match will be played in Spain and Manchester United's recent poor performance make Athletic Bilbao the natural favorite. I think Athletic Bilbao is the team that can win this match. However, Manchester United, whose only way to qualify for the Champions League is to win the Europa League, may have come to this match very well prepared. If their goalkeeper Onana does not make an absurd mistake, they may have a chance to win the match.

If referring to Man United poor performance in the EPL of course I agree but if you look at Man United performance in the Europa League then you will clearly be wrong in judging them. Amorim has said that he will focus on the Europa League for this season and the only ticket closer to being able to enter the UCL is by winning the Europa League championship. Let's see how this match will go because in terms of opportunities Bilbao playing at home is certainly advantageous but not entirely promising to win.

[tygeade]

The chance of winning the first leg belongs to Bilbao because they are playing at home and of course they deserve to be the favorite. We know Bilbao is very good when playing at their headquarters and also they are one of the teams competing in the most competitive league so Man Utd hopes of winning are quite small, maybe Amorim will not play an offensive game, their target is just a draw so that at Old Trafford later they will be more free to play. Who deserves to be the champion for me, both deserve it, after all they have fought this far. Let's see which of these two teams will qualify.

Btw I was quite surprised by the bookmaker's chances on another match between Spurs vs Bodo. You can see the first leg odds.


The odds are very far apart, how could Bodo be given 9.20, this is the semi-final.

The same Bodo that beat Lazio as well, sometimes oddmakers make very weird numbers, and this is not a game to bet on and makes no sense. I am not saying Bodo has a chance, if I think of that then I would bet on Bodo, but I believe Spurs shouldn't be given these guaranteed odds, while I do believe Spurs will win, I do not have trust in them to win it this guaranteed and the off chance that they may fail to win and get a loss or draw, it is not worth it to play for 1.31 odds.

If it was something like 1.70 then I would say there is a better chance and the bet would be worth it, but at the moment it is not worth it at all. We should realize things aren't always simple and we can't make that much money at all from this so I am not going to bet on the game itself.

Let's see how this match will go because in terms of opportunities Bilbao playing at home is certainly advantageous but not entirely promising to win.

Manchester United's performance in the Premier League is very weak. However, it is true that this team has played quite well in the Europa League. Even then, I doubt whether Manchester United will be able to win against Athletic Bilbao.



Manchester United has faced Athletic Club in 3 matches before. Manchester United could not win in any of the 3 matches. However, these matches were many years ago. Now, maybe the scenario has changed. However, looking at Manchester United's overall performance, I do not think United will be able to defeat Athletic Club in the first leg match. Athletic Club's team is quite strong. Even this team can be put ahead of United.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Well both team will be coming to the pitch to win today but people who plays better and has luck will be victorious in that match. The advantage Atletico Bibao has is this match is that they have good form than Manchester united but so far we have seen that is not longer about form because Manchester united have been wining all these while even with there bad performance and how they are managing to win or scale through is what I don't really know and there pattern is drawing first leg and coming back the second leg to win, let see if it will work for them in this semifinals but if they should qualify for finals then, they will lift the trophy.

Honestly, it is not about form because, if we should talk about form, I don't think Manchester United should have been able to reach this semi-final. Let's see what happened in the match between Real Sociedad and Manchester United. Manchester United was able to defeat Real Sociedad, but if we should talk about form, Real Sociedad was in better form than Manchester United. However, Manchester United qualified and even won the game with many goals.

So, in this upcoming game between Athletic Bilbao and Manchester United, I can't really say which team will win the match. Based on their current performance, I would say that Bilbao might win the game. But truly, Manchester United has become unpredictable in these ongoing Europa competitions. If I check their form in their domestic league, Manchester United's performance is really poor compared to Bilbao's performances in their domestic league. But let's just see what will happen at the end of the game.

[3meek]

I think Man U will score a goal today and make more than 3.5 corners... But there is an expectation that Bilbao will win in this match... By the way bookmakers give the same odds for both teams to get to the final - 1.9... The final will be in Bilbao and for the hosts today there is an opportunity to try to take three points to get to the final and have home pitch advantage...

[Amphenomenon]

Bilbao, the team that Manchester United will face this season, their level of play is above Manchester United. That's a reality.
Later, I will favor Bilbao because of the quality of their game even though Manchester United this season has performed beyond expectations during the UEFA Europa League with a new format.

This is a fact but I won't write off Manchester United even if Bilbao has a better game level this season than them but still they can do something.

Anyway, it's better not to expect anything much from them and my advice to any Manchester United fan is that they should be grateful they got to this point of the Europa League tournament this season and if they fail to win it or pass this stage, they still did well looking at their over all performance especially in the EPL.

Now, maybe the scenario has changed. However, looking at Manchester United's overall performance, I do not think United will be able to defeat Athletic Club in the first leg match. Athletic Club's team is quite strong. Even this team can be put ahead of United.

By looking at MU current situation, they are -8 goals in the EPL, meaning that apart from the goalkeeper who concedes easily, the attackers are also less productive. I know, that H2H doesn't guarantee the current result, but by combining the situation and H2H, one short prediction can be made, it looks like MU will find it difficult to win this match. Things will definitely not be easy for MU considering they are in 14th position in the EPL, of course there will be mental pressure experienced by all the players. This could be proof that they only have difficulties in the EPL but not in the UEL, or it will add to MU decline this season.

By the way bookmakers give the same odds for both teams to get to the final - 1.9...

Right now I have learnt not to underestimate Manchester United again, I have been underestimating them ever since just because of how they play in the Premier League and their position also in the league. They have proved that their league form and their Europa league form isn't the same. So after they their game Vs Lyon I just said to myself that if I'm watching Manchester United again, I will just watch their games in this competition with an open mind until the final whistle.

Posting odds for the outright winner (from BC.Game):



I wouldn't be surprised if they changed significantly after the first-leg games are concluded.
We all like Cinderella-type of stories, but I don't expect Bodo/Glimt to get past Tottenham. I don't expect Tottenham to win the cup either. If I were to bet, I'd go with either Athletic Bilbao or Man United, slightly leaning towards United.

Many soccers enthusiasts will want to say that as far this season is concerned in regards to home league football, Athletico Bilbao is better than Manchester United, may be i have said this before I cant remember but what I know for sure is, if we should judge with both team performance for this current season we'll want to conclude that Bilbao will win this match.
I love what you said, It will be very much better for there supporters not to hope on anything coming from them in this match but if things goes in their favour fine but too much high hope or expectations shouldn't be entertained to avoid being disappointed at the end of the day.

The odds are great. Bodo/Glimt are still possible and Athletic Bilbao are also very likely to go through. I don't really care how the story plays out for either team (Bodo/Glimt or Tottenham), I only care about the Red Devils reaching the Final and celebrating the title.
The 3.3 outright odds for Man United will change after the game at San Mames.
