Manchester United v Betis Sevilla in the first leg of the Europa League Round of 16 is scheduled for Thursday 9th March from 22:00 at Old Trafford live on the Pro Arena.
Manchester United have a chance to bounce back from their debacle at Liverpool, but they face a fully fit Betis Sevilla, fresh from a draw with Real Madrid.
Manchester United, who are third in the Premier League, 14 points behind leaders Arsenal, have just suffered the biggest humiliation in the club’s history, 0-7 against Liverpool in their last Championship game, a disaster after winning the League Cup final, 2-0. against Newcastle at Wembley, was the first trophy the Devils had won in a six-year absence.
In the Europa League, Erik ten Heg’s side finished 2nd in a group won by Real Sociedad and also included Sheriff Tiraspol and Omonia Nicosia with five wins and one loss. and in the play-off st. in the 1/8 finals, passed Barcelona, 2-2 away and 2-1 at home.
Manchester United are unbeaten at Old Trafford in all competitions since the start of September, when they lost 1-0 to Real Sociedad in the first leg of the Europa League group stage.
Manchester United have the Europa League trophy, won in the 2016-2017 season after a 2-0 in the final act in Stockholm against Ajax (also played in the final in 2021 in Gdańsk, losing on penalties to Villarreal). .
Betis Sevilla, fifth in La Liga, are hoping for a Champions League place at the end of the season in Spain and are coming off a home draw with Real Madrid that ended their three-game winning streak in the league.
The team coached by Manuel Pellegrini entered this phase of the competition directly after winning a group that also included Roma, Ludogorets and HIK Helsinki, thus avoiding a “double” in the playoffs.
Betis Sevilla have never progressed beyond the last 16 of the Europa League (including the UEFA Cup), at which stage last year they were eliminated by Eintracht Frankfurt, the eventual winners of the competition, 1-2 at home and 1-1 after extra time under way.
The two teams have met just once so far, in a friendly on 10 December 2022, when Betis Sevilla beat Manchester United 1-0 at the Estadio Benito Villamarin (Fekir, 49).
