Manchester United

From glory to nightmare in just two weeks. Manchester United started dreaming about their chances in the Europa League when they eliminated Barcelona in the round of 32 but not long after that they suffered one of the worst humiliations in the club’s history by losing 7-0 to Liverpool in the Premier League.

The Red Devils’ 11-unbeaten game streak came to an end abruptly, but Erik ten Hag’s men will have to forget that game as soon as possible, as they will need to switch their mentality to face Betis in Europe.

United are currently sitting third in the Premier League standings with 45 points, 14 away from leaders Arsenal, who haved played one more game.

Before the game vs. The Reds, Man United had scored at least twice in 12 consecutive games in all competitions. Against the Spanish side, they will try to record their 20th unbeaten match in a row at Old Trafford.

Betis

Meanwhile, underdogs Betis will try to get the better of United taking advantage of United’s chaotic defeat.

Betis are in a similar situation in LaLiga, as they are sitting fifth with 41 points, only three behind fourth-placed Real Sociedad. The difference, though, is that Manuel Pellegrini’s men won their last three league games against Almeria, Real Valladolid and Elche before holding Real Madrid to a goalless draw last weekend.

Los Verdiblancos, who came out on top in five matches and drew one in the Europa League Group C, have only won one of their previous six games against English opposition.

Manchester United vs Betis: prediction

It will be an interesting game, as United are the favorites playing at home and the team has looked impressive since the start of 2023 until last weekend. Betis, meanwhile, lost key player Fekir for the rest of the season through injury but looked good against Real Madrid last Sunday.

However, United proved against Barcelona they have the players to hurt anyone and they have way more experience than their opponents, which can be a decisive factor.
