United’s 3-0 win at San Mamés leaves little doubt about the outcome of the tie, but the Basques are a stubborn bunch, used to never giving up even when the challenge borders on the impossible. So the match at Old Trafford could well surprise us, given what we saw in the Champions League semi-finals. Let’s take a look at the predictions and odds for Manchester United vs. Athletic Bilbao, scheduled for Thursday, May 8, at 9 p.m. The odds for this event are no longer available.

MANCHESTER UNITED-ATHLETIC PREDICTION—   Almost impossible, as mentioned. Almost, though. Because in football, never say never. Anyone who saw the first leg knows full well that Vivian’s sending off heavily influenced the result. However, United are unbeaten in all 13 Europa League games and have lost only one of their last 30 European home games, curiously against a Basque team (Real Sociedad). This is extra motivation for Valverde’s team, who will arrive in Manchester with an attacking mindset and no calculations: the option of Athletic scoring first is worth 2.50 on Bet365, 2.45 on William Hill and Sisal, and 2.40 on Betflag.

OTHER ODDS—   United are favorites on the main betting sites, where a home win is priced at between 1.95 and 2.05, compared to 3.75 for an away win for Bilbao. A draw is priced at 3.80. The Europa League final will be played in Bilbao, which will be extra motivation for the visitors to attempt a legendary comeback. Both teams to score is offered at 1.75 by Bet365 and 1.72 by Netbet and Netwin, clearly favored over No Goals, which breaks the double (2.10).
