Manchester United vs Celta Vigo: Preview and Predictions

Manchester United vs Celta Vigo
UEFA Europa League Semifinal Second Leg
Date: Thursday, 11th May 2017
Kick off at 20:05 UK/ 21:05 CET
Venue: Old Trafford.

Both Jose Mourinho and Eduardo Berizzo clearly pushed everything for the Euroap League success.

The Red Devils managed to get a decent cushion thanks to Marcus Rashford who made the difference netting the only goal of the game in the first keg at Estadio do Balaidos.

Manchester United

Mourinho will throw everything towards earning the Champions League spot by winning Europa League.

The top four finish in Premier League is possible only in theory after a disappointing performance in a 2-0 loss to Arsenal at The Emirates on Sunday afternoon.

Celta de Vigo

The Sky Blues have been much worse when it comes to their domestic campaign. Berizzo did not use his first team in any of the last seven Primera Division clashes.

This is why Celta lost six of their last seven league matches. However, the Argentine can still be satisfied with a decent campaign he has enjoyed in Europa League.

Manchester United vs Celta Vigo: Head to head

The first leg clash from Balaidos was actually the first ever meeting between the two sides.

Manchester United could have easily packed two or three goals, but Sergio Alvarez was just phenomenal for Celta.

Manchester United vs Celta Vigo: Prediction

United have a huge advantage, but you cannot underestimate Celta. The Sky Blues lost the first leg on the home patch to Shakhtar Donetsk in the last 32 round of the competition, but they still produced a comeback by forcing the rematch into extra-time.

We can expect Mourinho to keep things tight at the back which is why we have to back the Under 2.5 goals FT as the top betting option here.
