Sevilla will look for another chance to win the Europa League when they play Man United on Wednesday; this will be a bright spot of an underwhelming season in La Liga.

Key Highlights

Manchester United’s Resurgent Form

Erik Ten Hag has overseen a resurgence of Manchester United after a mini-slump. They will go into their quarter-final tie against Sevilla on the back of an impressive double-win over Brentford and Everton in the League.

Coupled with the return of Christian Eriksen from injury and the completion of Casemiro’s suspension, the United engine room looks much healthier for the run-in.

Ten Hag will insist on his side maintaining the momentum in the Europa League as they pursue a continental win as an extra piece of silverware and a backstop for their Champions League qualification next season, just in case they do not finish inside the top four.

Sevilla’s Inconsistency

José Luis Mendilibar has navigated an up-and-down season so far with Sevilla; they have underwhelmed with their lack of consistency in their performances and results.

Sevilla warmed up for Thursday’s clash with Man United with a dramatic 2-2 draw at home to Celta Vigo. However, their performance did not instill confidence in the team, given the visitors’ dominance.

Sevilla are 13th on the La Liga table, just five points off the bottom three. They are facing a fight for survival in the run-in. They have won twice in the last five matches in La Liga, losing twice and drawing their latest match.

José Luis Mendilibar will look to rally the troops and get them to perform at their most disciplined and compact selves.

Prediction

As they showed against Everton at the weekend, Manchester United are back to playing with confidence and swagger. They created countless chances against the Toffees, and the scoreline flattered Sean Dyche’s side.

Man United will dominate the ball and control the match’s tempo from midfield. Their cause will be helped by the presence of Casemiro in the midfield and the now-fit Eriksen.

Sevilla will look to be compact in their approach while retaining an attacking threat in transitions. They will look to pass from the back and through midfield when they have the ball.

They will use their midfield passers to retain possession, slow the match’s tempo, and disrupt Man United’s momentum.

Manchester United will have too much for the Spanish side; they will win the match and take the lead to Spain for the second leg next week.
