Athletic Club and Manchester United will battle it out in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final at the San Mames Barria stadium on Thursday.
The hosts beat Rangers in the last round and progressed to the semi-finals after a 2-0 aggregate win. After a 0-0 draw in Glasgow, Athletic Club showed how irresistible they are on home turf and secured their place in the last four with a 2-0 win.
Manchester United, on the other hand, survived a real Hollywood thriller against Lyon in the quarter-finals. After a 2-2 draw in France, the Premier League club overturned a 3-2 deficit at Old Trafford and scored twice in stoppage time of the second extra period to win 4-3 and advance to the semi-finals with a 6-5 aggregate score.
Athletic Club – Manchester United Tips: Both Teams to Score
Athletic Club have been in fine form this season in the Europa League at San Mames Barria, winning all six of their home games so far. Even more impressively, they have scored two or more goals in five of those six encounters and have even scored three goals on three different occasions. However, Manchester United have also done quite well in away games in the Europa League up to the semi-finals - Ruben Amorim’s side are still unbeaten away from home this season and have scored in every away game so far. For this reason, we expect both teams to score on Thursday.
