Bet Builder Tip For Man Utd vs Athletic Bilbao

Predict an exciting Europa League clash with our Manchester United vs Athletic Bilbao bet builder tips.

Here’s our Bet Builder pick for Inter Milan vs Barcelona, which has been placed with William Hill:

Both Teams to Score (BTTS)

This fixture promises a competitive encounter, with both sides having shown attacking flair in recent weeks. Manchester United have found the net in each of their last 13 Europa League matches, racking up an impressive 31 goals across this campaign. Despite their commanding 3-0 first-leg win, United’s defence remains vulnerable, having conceded in seven of their last eight continental outings before that trip to the Basque Country.

Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, must throw caution to the wind at Old Trafford if they are to stand any chance of overturning their daunting deficit. Despite their inconsistent form, they have scored in four of their last six European away fixtures, including a memorable 3-2 triumph at Old Trafford in 2012. With both teams needing to push forward, especially with Bilbao in desperate need of goals, this leg could see both sides hitting the scoresheet.

Bruno Fernandes to Score

Bruno Fernandes remains Manchester United’s talisman in Europe, having netted six goals in his last four appearances in the competition. The Portuguese playmaker has thrived at Old Trafford in recent months, finding the back of the net in each of United’s last three home ties in this tournament, including a spectacular hat-trick against Real Sociedad.

Fernandes is also likely to shoulder more of the attacking responsibility given United’s injury issues, with several key forwards sidelined. His ability to arrive late in the box, coupled with his expert finishing from distance and from the penalty spot, make him a prime candidate to add to his impressive Europa League tally on Thursday. Moreover, Bilbao have conceded multiple goals in two of their last three European outings, further enhancing Fernandes’ scoring prospects.

Over 10 Corners

Given the stakes, this clash is expected to be an open and intense affair, with plenty of attacking intent from both sides. Athletic Bilbao, facing a significant deficit, will likely commit men forward in search of an early breakthrough, while United’s counter-attacking prowess should see them respond with their own waves of pressure.

Manchester United have been involved in several high-corner contests in Europe this season, including the first leg, where the two teams combined for double-digit corner counts. With the Red Devils expected to exploit the flanks through the likes of Garnacho and Mazraoui, and Bilbao relying on wide players like Inaki Williams to stretch the play, the corner count could rise quickly, making this a strong addition to the bet builder.

Each Team Over 1 Card

With so much at stake, discipline could become a key talking point in this tie. Athletic Bilbao, in particular, have struggled with maintaining composure under pressure, as evidenced by Dani Vivian’s red card in the first leg. The Spanish side are likely to employ a high-press approach in an attempt to unsettle United early, potentially leading to reckless challenges.

Manchester United, meanwhile, have seen their fair share of bookings in recent knockout rounds, including a scrappy first-leg encounter in Bilbao. With players like Casemiro and Ugarte likely to be involved in numerous physical duels in midfield, and the intense atmosphere at Old Trafford adding to the stakes, a flurry of yellow cards seems probable.
