Manchester United vs Real Betis Prediction and Betting Tips (09.03.2023)

Command Analysis

Manchester United

England

Manchester United suffered one of the most humiliating defeats in club's history on last weekend, losing to Liverpool by a 0:7 score. Eric ten Hag's men actually put up a decent performance in the first half, but team's defense fell apart completely after the half-time. David de Gea put up a horrific performance, conceding seven of eight shots on goal.

That defeat didn't change team's position in the standings, but now the Red Devils are even further away from the title. On the bright side, United managed to beat one of Europa League contenders, Barcelona, in the previous round of the tournament (2:2 and 2:1).

Real Betis

Spain

Betis gained impressive level of form in La Liga, getting three victories and snatching a draw from Real Madrid (0:0) in the most recent match. Manuel Pellegrini's men looked organized at the back, but failed to create any goal opportunities up front.

Seville team sits 5th in the La Liga standings, three points away from the Champions League zone. Spanish side finished 1st in the group stage and missed the preliminary round of the Europa League. The White-Greens are going to Old Trafford without any major selection problems, so they are ready to take on the favourite.

Betis seem to return on winning ways, but team is unlikely to keep a clean sheet this time. The White-Greens are coming to Old Trafford in a wrong time, so Spanish side is unlikely to hold out for long.
