THERE’S everything to play for in six of the eight second and third tier European matches being played tonight, with facing a tricky but winnable trip to Spain.
United’s quarter-final second leg with Sevilla is one of two ties which ended in a first leg draw and there is only one goal splitting the clubs in the other two matches.
In the Europa Conference League there are another two where the teams are all square, including ’s duel with Genk which stands at 1-1 after last Thursday’s first leg in Belgium.
United should have all but booked their place in the semi-finals at Old Trafford last week only for two unfortunate own goals late in the day to leave them with work to do after a 2-2 draw.
Manager Erik ten Hag will be frustrated at numerous missed chances early in the proceedings but United were comfortable when winning at Nottingham Forest on Sunday and should triumph again tonight at 11/10 with BetUK.
Sevilla, an underwhelming 13th in La Liga, are not the team which won the tournament three years in a row from 2014, then again in 2020, and a 2-1 away win is 8/1 with bet365.
Former Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro is 20/1 to break the deadlock with bet365 and 15/2 with Unibet to score at any time.
Roma, trailing 1-0 to Feyenoord, can beat their Dutch rivals at 11/10 with BetUK while Sporting are 13/8 with the same firm to overturn a similar deficit against Juventus in Lisbon.
Union and Bayer Leverkusen drew 1-1 in Germany last week and another draw is 27/10 which adds up to a 34/1 four-timer with BetUK.
West Ham were much improved in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal and could have taken maximum points at the end of a battling second half.
A repeat performance at the London Stadium will ease them past uninspiring opposition and into the semi-finals and they are 4/6 to triumph with SpreadEx and 15/8 with Betfait to win by more than one goal.
Jarrod Bowen is 11/4 to score at any time with William Hill.
Nice, who drew 2-2 with Basel in Switzerland, are 3-2 with Paddy Power to win by over one goal.
