Celta Vigo v Manchester United Betting Tips
This will be the first time that Celta Vigo and Manchester United have faced off against each other in Europe. Celta are carrying a bit of decent forming the competition at the moment going into this one because they have gone W4 D1 in their last five played in the competition. It is probably going to be very important for them to get a good advantage on the board at home before going to Old Trafford. Celta have only kept the one clean sheet in their six home fixtures in the competition this season and both teams to score at Bet365 is a price of even money and in the correct score market, the 1-1 draw is the shortest priced option at a price of 5/1. You can back either a Celta 1-0 or a Man Utd 1-0 at a quote of 6/1. Celta’s form against English sides isn’t great at W5 D0 L4 and that is W2 D0 L2 in Vigo – W3 D0 L2 in England. They have lost their last three games against English opposition, most recently against Newcastle in the 2016/07 UEFA Cup Group Stage, losing 2-1. In the anytime goalscorer market, Iago Aspas is 9/4 market leader for the home side.
The Red Devils have had mixed fortunes out on the road in the UEFA Champions League this season. They have gone W2 D2 L2 away from home from their six games, averaging just the one goal per away game. The Red Devils are now unbeaten in their last eight UEFA Europa League games (W6 D2) but it has been something of a laborious campaign from them. After a 1-1 draw out at Anderlecht in the first leg of their quarter-final tie, they needed an extra time goal back at Old Trafford from Marcus Rashford to win through. Marcus Rashford is a 7/4 Bet365 anytime goalscorer option for this game. Manchester United holds a record from 47 meetings with Spanish teams of W12 D19 L16 (W9 D9 L4 in Manchester – W2 D10 L10 in Spain). So they haven’t enjoyed a lot of success out in Spain. They have won two their three previous European semi-finals against Spanish clubs though, going on to lift the trophy on both occasions. Under 2.5 goals at bet365 looks likely in this one 4/7. It doesn’t look as if it will be a thriller.
