With the Europa League season coming to its end, only two teams remain in the battle for the trophy – Manchester United and Tottenham.
So, we're bound for an all-English final and the bookies already have the latest Europa League winner odds ready.
UEFA Europa League winner odds – current leaders
Manchester United – 4/5
After beating Athletic Bilbao 3-0 in Spain, Manchester United were not complacent in the second leg at home, beating the Basque team once again for good measure, this time putting four goals past them.
So, after this impressive performance and a 7-1 aggregate win over the team that was favoured to win the Europa League ahead of the semi-finals, the Red Devils are now backed by the bookies to win it all.
On the other hand, Manchester United's Premier League form and standings won't instil confidence ahead of this game, but their opponent in the EL final will be Tottenham, who somehow managed to do even worse than the Red Devils in the EPL this season.
Tottenham – 6/5
Six years after losing their first-ever Champions League final, Tottenham will now have another chance to lift their an European trophy for the fourth time in the club's history.
Just like their opponents in the upcoming final, Tottenham have also won both of their semi-final matches, beating Bodo/Glimt 5-1 on aggregate in the process.
In the Premier League, Tottenham are the first team outside of the relegation zone and while they won't be relegated, it's safe to say that this was one of their worst seasons in the league in recent memory. That being said, Man Utd are just one point ahead of them in the Premier League standings, so neither of these teams will be able to draw confidence from their performances in the league.
Our prediction
With the all-English final in this edition of the Europa League at our hands, we expect to see an exciting game.
Our choice to win would be Manchester United, simply because Tottenham are known as a team that's used to losing in the final of cup competitions.
