Man Utd vs Real Betis prediction 09.03.2023 Europa League

• Competition: Europa League
• Date: 9th March 2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 GMT / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Old Trafford

After last weekend's disheartening 7-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield, Manchester United will be looking to get back to winning ways against Real Betis in the round of 16 of the Europa League on Thursday. Erik Ten Hag's men beat Barça 4-3 on aggregate to get this far, while the visitors finished first in Group C ahead of Roma.

Despite the manner of last weekend's defeat, the Red Devils will be encouraged by the fact that it was only the first time in their last 29 competitive games that they failed to score a goal. In addition to that, this game would be played at a ground where they have turned into a real fortress in recent months.

Meanwhile, Real Betis look to be back on their feet after a series of mixed results. The Greens had a chance to make it four wins in a row against Real Madrid on Sunday night, but the points were shared after a goalless draw. Nevertheless, Manuel Pellegrini must have been very pleased that his troops were able to keep a Los Blancos side that scored five goals against Liverpool a fought night ago quiet for 90 minutes.

Since the beginning of 2023, Manchester United's attack line centered around English striker Marcus Rashford has been very effective. In fact, the Red Devils have scored at least twice in seventeen of their eighteen games in 2023.

Real Betis aren't too bad when it comes to scoring goals either. The draw against Real Madrid last weekend was the first time in their last seven games that they failed to score. Considering that both teams scored in five of those matches, it's likely that both United and Betis will score on Thursday night.
