Athletic Bilbao
Manchester United will look to defend their three-goal lead in the Europa League tie with Athletic Bilbao when the two teams face each other at Old Trafford on Thursday evening. The Reds Devils proved their worth in the first leg and, as a result, they are on the right track to book their spot in the Europa League final. Anyhow, we are positive that Ruben Amorim’s men are going to adopt a cautious approach in the second leg. All Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, and Joshua Zirkzee are expected to miss out with injuries for the home side.
The Lions, on the other hand, face an uphill task in the second leg as they need to overcome a three-goal deficit at “The Theatre of Dreams”. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as the Basques have no other option but to go all guns blazing at the Red Devils. Centre-back Dani Vivian is banned for the visiting team.
