Manchester United will be going for their second title of the season after winning the Carabao Cup. This will be a tricky matchup for them, though, as the Europa League is the traditionally favorite competition for this Sevilla team. Still, the Red Devils are the favorites to win their second UEL title, according to the odds.
Manchester United are currently sitting in fourth place in the Premier League, having the same amount of points as the third-place team, Newcastle. The Red Devils beat the Magpies 2-0 in the Carabao Cup final to win their first title of the season. Manchester United finished second behind Real Sociedad in the Europa League group stage and passed two other Spanish teams in the playoffs: Barcelona and Real Betis.
Sevilla are having a very disappointing season in La Liga so far, as they are currently in thirteenth place in the league. The Nervionenses always turn up when it comes to the UEFA Europa League, as they have won the tournament six times before, which is the most by any team. Sevilla have beaten Fenerbahçe and PSV Eindhoven on their route to the quarterfinals.

Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial scored the goals for the Red Devils in that game. Erik Ten Hag, Manchester United’s manager, blamed their schedule for the injuries that they have. The Red Devils will likely be without Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw in this game.
Sevilla are coming off a thrilling 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo in La Liga. The Nervionenses somehow took a point despite having two red cards in the match, one at the start and the other at the last minute. Sevilla will struggle in this match if they don’t bring their A-game, but they are experienced enough in this tournament and should be fine.
Manchester United and Sevilla have faced each other three times in European competitions. The Red Devils have never beaten Sevilla before, as the Nervionenses won the last two encounters.

Manchester United are likely going to be without two of their best players in this game, as Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw are injected. Sevilla might not be in their best form, but they can keep the game close and probably lose by one goal.
The Europa League odds for Sevilla are too good to pass up for an experienced team. The Nervionenses have won the Europa League four times in the last nine years. This tournament is also their last chance to qualify for European competitions for the next season.
Manchester United have gone under the total in five of their last six games. Sevilla will pretty much try to have a close game and go for it at home in the second leg. The Nervionenses have also gone under the total in three of their last four matches.
If Marcus Rashford is out for this game, then someone will have to step up and score for the Red Devils. Bruno Fernandes is on penalty duties, and he will get back to playing behind the forward with Casemiro and Eriksen coming back to give the Portuguese more freedom.
As things stand, Rashford and Shaw will be out for this game. Eriksen is back with the team after his long injury.
Sevilla will have Ocampos back from suspension, while Jordan and Corona are out for this game.
Manchester United and Sevilla will clash in the first leg of the quarter-finals. Both teams are capable of winning this tournament, and it should be an entertaining one.
