It’s the semi-finals of the football Europa League this evening and BetVictor Brand Ambassador Michael Owen is here to preview the action.
Under 2.5 goals
Arsenal v Villarreal (1-2) 1-0
Arsenal managed to nick a valuable away goal in last week’s first leg tie, however, Villarreal were certainly worth their victory in the end.
That goal should ignite some hope for Arsenal fans, and if their side can find a big home performance, they could reach the final.
That said, the Gunners are winless in their last five matches at the Emirates, so I think it’s prudent to approach Mikel Arteta’s side with caution.
Overall, I don’t see much between the sides, but I do feel the home side, especially with the return to form of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, could have enough just to edge it.
Manchester United to win
Roma v Manchester United (2-6) 0-1
Well, Manchester United have played themselves into a terrific position going into their 2nd leg in Italy. Last week’s match at Old Trafford was eventful to say the least, however, I can see a tighter match being played out here.
Roma really have no choice but to go for it. That could play into the visitor’s hands, and with such a potent counter-attack, I think the Reds’ will take a victory home to Manchester.
