5 Europa League Tips - 16/3/23

The first tip on this list comes from Real Betis versus Manchester United with Erik ten Hag’s men leading the tie 4-1 after the first leg from Old Trafford.

January signing Wout Weghorst managed to score his first Old Trafford goal in the return leg and averages 2.3 shots per game in the Europa League this season, averaging 1.3 on target per match.

Argentinian defensive midfielder Guido Rodriguez is known for his combative playstyle, having been shown six yellow cards in La Liga this season. In the first leg, there were a total of 11 corners across the whole match, with United having eight to their opponent's three.

Arsenal and Sporting Lisbon face off at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday, with the Gunners coming in as firm favourites to progress after drawing 2-2 in the first leg in Lisbon.

Mikel Arteta’s men will be full of confidence having scored three or more goals in their last three Premier League games, while avoiding defeat in the first leg against Sporting. During their 3-0 win over Fulham at the weekend there were a total of 12 corners in the match, while each team were shown two yellow cards in their first-leg draw with Sporting.

Real Sociedad against AS Roma could be an interesting match-up with the home side chasing a 2-0 deficit from the first leg.

Argentinian striker Paulo Dybala has two shots on target in the return fixture and currently averages three shots per game in the Europa League this campaign.

Freiburg faces off with Juventus, with the German Bundesliga side looking to overturn their 1-0 first-leg defeat.

Juventus forward Angel Di Maria has been in superb form of late, especially in this competition, having scored a hat-trick away at Nantes in the last round, as well as the only goal of the game in the first leg against Freiburg.

So far this season, Di Maria has scored eight goals and created seven assists in just 1299 minutes of first-team football.

The final tip on this list comes from Union Saint-Gilloise against Union Berlin, with this tie being all square at 3-3 from the first leg in Germany.

25-year-old Swedish striker Gustaf Nilsson is having a decent campaign so far, having found the back of the net ten times, including twice in the Europa League in a 2-1 away victory at Sporting Braga. Nilsson is priced at 6/1 to score in a win over Union Berlin on Thursday night.
