Match Overview
Manchester United enter the second leg with a commanding 3-0 advantage from their first-leg victory in Bilbao. Historically, teams with such a lead away from home in European competitions have almost always progressed, with only one exception.
Athletic Club face a daunting task, made even tougher by the absence of key players: Nico Williams, Iñaki Williams, and Oihan Sancet are all sidelined through injury. Defensively, they’re further weakened by the suspension of Dani Vivian.
Meanwhile, United have been dominant at Old Trafford in Europe — losing just once in their last 30 home Europa League games.
Match Winner Prediction
Tip: Manchester United to Win
Despite a recent 4-3 loss to Brentford in the Premier League, United’s European form remains strong. With several key players rested and a healthy aggregate lead, they’re well positioned to secure another home victory and progress to the final.
Over/Under 2.5 Goals Prediction
Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
Meetings between these two teams tend to deliver goals — with an average of 4.4 goals per game over their last five encounters. With United’s firepower and Athletic chasing the game, this one looks set to go over the 2.5 goals line.
Summary
- Match Winner: Manchester United to Win
- Total Goals: Over 2.5
