Villarreal vs. Manchester United Tips & Quotes, May 26, 2021 – 9:00 PM
The European League Final between Villarreal FC and Manchester United will take place at Miejski Stadium in the Polish city of Gdansk on Wednesday evening, 26.05.2021 at 9 pm. The yellow submarine prevailed against Arsenal London in the semi-finals. A 2-1 home win in the first leg was enough against the Gunners. In the second leg on the island, the Spaniards defended the narrow lead and entered a European Cup final for the first time with a zero number. The traditional English club eliminated AS Rome in the last four teams and was almost as good in the final after the first leg in the Old Trafford (6:2). In the second leg in the Italian capital, the English could even afford a 2-3 bankruptcy.

Unai Emery’s team had to compete with Real Madrid on the weekend of the last day of the La Liga and got off to a good start with Pino’s early lead after 20 minutes. After losing the ball, the royals found it very difficult to find order and before the break they only had two opportunities to equalise with Modric (34th) and Casemiro (45th +1). In the second period of the game, the guests withdrew and were punished in the final phase. The Madrilenes achieved the alleged 1:1 (55.) by Benzema. But the Frenchman stood aside and was whistled back. A mistake by FCV-Keeper Rulli did not make up for Benzema about ten minutes later (66th). It was only in the final phase that Villarreal’s defensive bulwark broke up and Benzema equalised 1:1 (87th). In the second leg, vice world champion Modric scored a 2-1 victory for Real Madrid (90th +2). The yellow submarine ended the season in seventh place in Spain and will compete in a final defeat against Manchester next season in the newly founded UEFA Conference League. If FC Villarreal wins the EL, the club gets a starting right for the Champions League.
The Emery-Elf has lost two of the last six league games (four wins). Before that, there were even three consecutive defeats. In the Euro League things are much better for the Spaniards. FCV is still unbeaten in the ongoing competition and played for the second time in the 0-0 draw in London. On the 4th day of the group stage there was the first draw at Maccabi Tel Aviv (1-1). The other 12 EL lots were all won. The preliminary round was more than feasible with teams such as Tel Aviv, Sivasspor and Qarabag FK. With RB Salzburg in the intermediate round as well as Dynamo Kiev, Dinamo Zagreb and FC Arsenal London on their way to the final, they encountered much stronger opponents. It will be the first European Cup final for the Spaniards – in 2006 in the Champions League and 2004, 2011 and 2016 the yellow submarine is stranded in the semi-finals just before the big finish.
With 30 goals in the Europa League, the Spaniards are the third best attack series in the competition. With six goals each, forward Gerard and Paco Alcacer are the most successful in the Villarreal jersey. Carlos Bacca entered the scoring list three times.
Juan Foyth, Vicente Iborra and Samuel Chukwueze will be out on Wednesday due to injury.

The new English vice champion was a guest of the Wolverhampton Wanderers at the weekend in the Premier League and fulfilled his mandatory task. At the same time, the Red Devils also passed the dress rehearsal for the upcoming EL final. The early lead through Elenga by penalty (11th) was equalised by the home team late through Nelson Semedo to 1-1 (39th) Even before half-time, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team scored another lead through Mata (45th +4). In the second 45 minutes, no goals were scored, so United was able to add three more counters to the points account (74). Manchester City became the champion in England with 86 points.
The Solskjaer team won only two of the last six league games in the Premier League (two bankruptcies, two draws). In the EL there was the first defeat in the competition in the 2-3 in Rome. The Red Devils are only relegated from the Champions League starting in the intermediate round. In the intermediate round, Real Sociedad was eliminated as well as from the quarter-finals of AC Milan, FC Granada and AS Rome on the way to the final. In the top class, it wasn’t even enough for second place with three victories and just as many defeats against RB Leipzig, Paris Saint Germain and Basaksehir FK.
Manchester United scored 33 goals in the European Cup this season. Of which 15 in the CL and 18 in the Euro League. Bruno Fernandes scored 9 times in both competitions. Marcus Rashford (8) and Edinson Cavani (5) joined the goal hunter list 13 times.
The European League winner 2017 will have to do without Phil Jones, Anthony Martial and Harry Maguire in the final in Gdansk. The trio is injured and can only watch from the outside.

Manchester United is favourite in the Europa League final against Villarreal FC. The yellow submarine is the clear outsider and is now hoping for the first title in the European Cup. The Spaniards are still unbeaten in the EL and will hardly be underestimated by the Red Devils. The English played in the Champions League at the beginning of the season, have been in the EL since the intermediate round and have lost to the Roma in the semi-final second leg for the first time in the ongoing competition. Statistics therefore clearly speaks for the Unai Elf, who will nevertheless emerge as an outsider in Gdansk. FCV lost the dress rehearsal at Real Madrid, the Solskjaer-Elf passed it and won the threesome at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Since both rows of attackers scored more than 30 goals in this European Cup season, we expect a goal-rich final in Gdansk. Even if we believe Villarreal will win the title, we still predict that Manchester United will win the pot for the second time in the club’s history.
Two bets are conceivable for this Europa League Tip forecast – on the one hand, the tip on the market „Hitting both teams? YES“ and on the other hand the 3-way betting on Manchester United wins. Depending on the selected sports betting tip, the betting odds offered will then vary. Personally, we tend to go to the first betting tip – that is, the goal betting.
