JAKARTA - Real Betis had a very tough task when welcoming the arrival of Manchester United (MU) for the second leg of the 2022/2023 Europa League last 16.
The match will take place at Betis headquarters at Benito Villamarin Stadium, Spain, Friday, March 17, 2023. The match starts at 00.45 WIB.
Manuel Pellegrini's foster children previously gave up with a score of 1-4 when they visited Old Trafford in the first leg which took place last week. For that, it will be difficult for the hosts to catch up tonight.
While playing at Old Trafford, Ayoze Perez's goal was just before half-time to equalize after Marcus Rashford's goal gave Betis hope.
However, the hosts' three goals in the second half dealt a crushing blow to the Pellegrini squad. Results that make them have to work hard this morning if they want to stay in the Europa League.
The defeat at the Theater of Dreams occurred between the draw in La Liga continued against Real Madrid and Villarreal. This means that Los Verdiblancos have not secured a single win in the last three matches when they are ready to welcome this second leg.
In addition, Betis is also noted to have never advanced further than the last 16 of the Europa League in its current format and has only one win from their last seven home games.
On the other hand, Manchester United had a great opportunity to carve out success in the knockout stages. It was reinforced by a record that he had never been eliminated from the last 16 of the Europa League after winning the first leg.
Winning only two of their last six away games is not a good sign for Ten Hag's men. However, they were unbeaten in their last four away games to Spain.
Therefore, the Red Devils only need to avoid a big defeat to qualify for the quarter-finals. Tickets for the top eight are unlikely to be difficult for the Premier League title holder.
Player Composition Predictions:
Real Betis (4-2-3-1): Bravo; Sabaly, Pezzella, Ruiz, Miranda; Carvalho, Rodriguez; Canales, Perez, Juanmi; Iglesias
Manchester United (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Malacia; Casemiro, Sabitzer; Sancho, Fernandes, Elanga; Rashford
