✅ Both Teams to Score
Expecting both sides to find the net in this clash is far from unreasonable. Manchester United have netted 35 goals in Europe this season, demonstrating a persistent attacking threat, especially when space opens up in transition. Tottenham, meanwhile, have scored in every Europa League knockout round and possess in-form forwards like Dominic Solanke, who has netted in each of his last four appearances against United. Despite Spurs’ struggles in the league, they’ve consistently created and converted chances in Europe.
Defensively, neither team have been secure. Tottenham’s league season has been marred by a leaky backline, with 21 defeats in the Premier League. United, too, have conceded in seven of their last eight competitive fixtures, and even in their dominant semi-final against Athletic, they let in a consolation goal. Given both clubs’ reliance on outscoring their opponents rather than shutting them out, goals at both ends appear highly probable.

⚽ Bruno Fernandes to Score
Manchester United’s talismanic midfielder has consistently delivered on the European stage, scoring seven times in this Europa League campaign, making him joint-top scorer in the tournament. With penalties and set-piece duties under his belt, Fernandes is always a danger to opposition defences. Furthermore, he has contributed 11 direct goal involvements, second only to Rayan Cherki.
With United’s attack flowing through Fernandes, and his tendency to shoot from range and ghost into the box, it’s easy to envision him finding the net. He scored recently against Athletic Bilbao and has a habit of stepping up in key moments. Against a Tottenham team that has lacked defensive cohesion all season, the Portuguese international could be the one to make the difference again.

22/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning England’s attacking depth gives Nwaneri a strong platform to find the net. A fiercely contested group opener should yield cards, particularly with Czech Republic’s physical style. Both sides also favour width and set-piece routines, making the corner count likely to climb. This trio blends value, form, and tactical context. | |
🥅 Over 10 Total Corners
The nature of finals — where sides go all out — often leads to high corner counts. In Tottenham’s previous rounds, including the semi-final against Bodo/Glimt, they earned a wealth of corners through relentless attacking on the flanks, particularly through Pedro Porro and Udogie, who frequently overlap. Likewise, United rack up corners when chasing control of games.
Given the expected end-to-end action, with both teams likely to employ width and put crosses into the box, a total exceeding ten corners feels a solid prediction. The return of attack-minded full-backs on both sides increases the likelihood of this market landing, especially with the likes of Johnson and Diallo frequently testing their markers and forcing defensive interventions.
🟨 Each Team Over 1 Card
Discipline may prove difficult to maintain in a final of this magnitude. High-pressure matches between English rivals often become physical, and there is historical precedence for cards in all-English European finals. Spurs and United both average more than one booking per game, and with emotionally charged players like Casemiro and Romero on the pitch, cautions are a near certainty.
Postecoglou’s side are not shy of tactical fouls in transition, and United’s aggressive midfield approach under Amorim has drawn the ire of officials more than once this season. Furthermore, VAR scrutiny in UEFA finals tends to be tight, so even marginal fouls or dissent may lead to yellow cards. Expect at least a couple apiece in what’s bound to be a heated showdown.
