Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United Predictions
- Manchester United are unbeaten in the Europa League this season.
- Bruno Fernandes is the joint-top scorer in the competition with seven goals.
Miserable duo out to salvage season
Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United’s miserable seasons hang in the balance in Bilbao on Wednesday, and we’re backing the Red Devils to secure Champions League football for next season.
Both of these sides have been nothing short of dreadful in the Premier League this season, and, sitting 16th and 17th, neither deserve to be playing Champions League football next term.
However, Manchester United have navigated a trickier route to the final in Bilbao, eliminating Athletic Bilbao, Lyon, and Real Sociedad in the last three rounds.
Despite their awful season overall, they have not lost any of their 14 games in this competition, and they do have players in their ranks who know what it takes to get over the line and lift trophies.
Captain Fernandes to spur Red Devils to victory
Tottenham, who haven’t won a major trophy since the 2007/08 League Cup, do not have the same winning experience in their squad, and they have generated less than one expected goal in each of their last three games.
Ange Postecoglou’s side have conceded exactly twice in their last two games, and Manchester United have scored exactly twice on five occasions in this competition, but have conceded in 11 of their 14 assignments, making a Red Devils win and a 2-1 correct score prediction appealing options.
Bruno Fernandes has been the one shining light in Manchester United’s otherwise bleak season, and he heads into the final as the joint-top scorer in the Europa League this season. He has netted seven goals in his last eight outings in this competition and, if anybody can spur Manchester United to a trophy win, it’s him.
Tottenham team news
Lucas Bergvall and James Maddison are expected to miss the end of the season, so will sit on the sidelines for this final. Radu Dragusin will be out for most of 2025.
Man Utd team news
Matthijs de Ligt isn’t expected to be back in time for this game, though he could return for the final weekend of the Premier League. Joshua Zirkzee is out for the season, while Lisandro Martinez is expected to miss the rest of the year.
Tottenham vs Man Utd head-to-head
This will be the fourth meeting between these two sides this season, with Tottenham winning all three so far. In fact, Tottenham are unbeaten in their past six games against Man Utd, with Postecoglou yet to taste defeat in this fixture.
