Europa League Final: Tottenham vs Man Utd best bets

Tottenham and Manchester United contest the 2025 Europa League Final at San Mames in Bilbao, Spain this Wednesday evening and not only the trophy but a place in next season’s Champions League will be the prize for the side that emerges victorious.

This will be the sixth all-English final in UEFA competitions, with Spurs themselves winning the first of those when seeing off Wolves over two legs to land the inaugural UEFA Cup in 1971/72.

It’s only fitting that we’re taking guidance from the sides’ Premier League form when it comes to our best bets in the match – even if that does make it hard to see either of them winning!

Extra-time in the offing with sides’ looking tough to split

Spurs and United have played each other three times already this season, including twice since Ruben Amorim succeeded Erik Ten Hag.

The Lilywhites’ 3-0 win at Old Trafford must be deemed less relevant in regard to this fixture having come at the expense of the doomed Dutchman.

However, the north Londoners’ subsequent 4-3 and 1-0 wins over Amorim’s United suggest the sides are a good deal more closely matched since the former Sporting Lisbon boss’ arrival.

That brings the draw after 90 mins into play at 9/4, with the normal time stalemate all the more appealing due to both outfits being criminally short of form and goals against domestic foes.

Neither have beaten a non-relegated league rival since February 16, when Spurs beat United. The Lilywhites have lost eight and drawn two of their 12 EPL games since, while the Old Trafford club have lost six and drawn four of their subsequent dozen domestic outings .

A lack of Premier League goals is symptomatic of both teams’ problems, further enhancing the chance it will need more than 90 mins to separate them. United have scored once or less in six of their last seven top-flight fixtures, Tottenham once or less in eight of their last nine.

Back UEL showpiece correct score du jour in Bilbao

Considering the poor form of both sides against domestic rivals is underpinned by their recent inability to net more than once, the 1-1 correct score looks worth closer inspection at 11/2.

No fewer than three of the last four Europa League finals were locked at 1-1 when normal time came to a close, including the 2020/21 decider United ultimately lost to Villarreal on penalties.
