The team of Julen Lopetegui and Wolverhampton did not need any start-up time. Both teams accelerated immediately. First and foremost, the Wolves and the arrow-fast Traore, which left the entire defence of the Spaniards and thus pulled out a penalty – shot Raul Jimenez (13th). Afterwards, the Blanquirrojos got better and better, but it was difficult to find really good opportunities. En-Nesyri (27th, 33rd), Ocampos (37th) and Jordans (42nd) had half chances. After the tea break, the La Liga’s fourth place in the league was still dominant and now had better shooting opportunities – Jordan and El-Nesyri (59th, 62nd) gave off prospects. The leadership for Seville was only a matter of time, the impacts for the English were getting closer and closer. So it was a later but deserved 1-0 victory for the Andalusians by scoring Ocampos (88th).
In the Europa League, the Lopetegui eleven only lost the group game on the final day against APOEL Nicosia. In the previous five games there were five full wins and the group victory was already established before the last day of the match. In the interim round, they struggled against the fierce outsider CFR Cluj and advanced only because of the away goal rule (1-1, 0-0). Against AS Rome in the sixteenth final (2:0) and Walverhampton Wanderers in the quarter-finals (1:0) there were again two wins in a row.
With 18 EL goals, the Andalusians are the fourth best offensive team in the ongoing competition. Munir (5 goals) and Munas Dabbur (3) are the best cutters in FC Sevilla’s jersey.
The five-time European League winner (2006 and 2007 or UEFA Cup) has neither injured nor banned players and can go to the semi-finals without worrying about personnel.

Man Utd already has experience with the Rhine Energy Stadium. The quarter-finals against FC Copenhagen already took place there and the English faced a Danish defensive wall, which could not be overcome at first. The first chances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team had to wait. It was the Solbakken-Elf who had the first chances through Daramy (13th) and Wind (17th). Copenhagen acted boldly while the Premier League club lost the thread. Greenwood scored his first chance for the Red Devils after more than half an hour (33rd). Shortly before the end of the first half, Varela gave the lead (43rd). In the second period the pressure on the Danes grew – Pogba (49th), Fred (55th) and Rashford (57th, offside) had it 1-0 on their feet. In the further sale of the game, an open exchange of deals developed with opportunities on both sides. It went to Chancenwucher in the overtime, where Manchester was then able to prevail 1-0 through Bruno Fernandes’ transformed foul penalty (95th). Copenhagen was in overtime without a chance of equalisation and completely invalidated. In the end, the victory could have been even clearer.
The Solskjaer-Elf were also able to survive the group stage as winners and were ahead of AZ Alkmaar (9), Partizan Belgrade (8) and FC Astana (3) after six games with 13 points. The only bankruptcy occurred on the 5th day of the game with the fierce underdog Astana (1-2). FC Bruges was not a big problem in the intermediate round (1-1, 5-0). In the EL eighth final against LASK there were even two victories (5:0, 2:1). As a result, the English have been unbeaten on the international stage for six games and won five victories during this period.
Manchester is the most dangerous team in the Euro League (24 hits). Bruno Fernandes leads the EL goalscorer list with seven goals. For United, however, the Portuguese only shot two stalls in the current competition. The forward only moved from Sporting Lisbon to the island in January 2020 and scored five goals for his home club in the preliminary round. Mason Greenwod (5) and Anthoy Martial (4) netted together nine times.
Axel Tuanzebe is the only player injured and will be out on Sunday. Otherwise, the three-time champions league winner, who has never won the EL or UEFA Cup, can draw on the entire squad.

On paper, Manchester United is favourite against FC Sevilla for the European League Final. The Red Devils have struggled to beat Copenhagen in the quarter-finals, even though victory was deserved in the end. Otherwise, the English played a good EL season so far and won the last four games in a row with a goal ratio of 13:1. The Andalusians played a similar game against the Wolves in the quarter-finals and also won with 1:0. However, the last two games against AS Rome and Wolverhampton were again satisfactory. Unlike the duels in the Nicosia defeat or the weak intermediate round against Cluj with two draws. We tap that goals will fall on both sides and ultimately experience prevails against quality. The Spaniards move into the final and have a great chance of winning the big throw again after 2016. We therefore favor betting on the “Who qualifies for the final” market for this Europa League tip forecast and then win on Seville. This sports betting tip even includes a possible overtime and penalty shootout. The odds are on average around 2.00.
