Both sides are odds against going into tonight's Europa League final - which of Man United or Tottenham will rescue their season?
The 2025 UEFA Europa League Final presents an all-English clash as Tottenham Hotspur take on Man United tonight (20:00) at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, Spain.
This game offers both clubs a golden opportunity to rescue their seasons with silverware and Champions League qualification. You can find the WhoScored prediction for the match here.
Both Premier League giants have endured dismal domestic campaigns, languishing just above the relegation places and falling well short of expectations.
But in Europe, they've found new life - making this final not just a battle for a trophy, but a shot at changing the narrative surrounding what could otherwise be one of the worst seasons in history.
For United, new manager Ruben Amorim has inspired an unbeaten run in the Europa League since taking over mid-season. The Portuguese tactician masterminded a 7-1 aggregate demolition of Athletic Club in the semi-finals and a thrilling 7-6 win over Lyon in the quarters.
On the other side, Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has defied domestic critics by staying true to his attacking philosophy, even as injuries mounted and league form dipped.
His side stormed into the final with a commanding 5-1 semi-final win over Bodø/Glimt and they have only lost twice in the competition this season. Tottenham are chasing their first trophy since 2008 and their first European title since the 1984 UEFA Cup.
Who is the favourite to win the Europa League Final?
Man United are slight favourites to lift the 2025 Europa League trophy, priced at 8/11 with Betfred to win the final in Bilbao. They are a best price 13/10 on AK Bets to win the tie inside 90 minutes.
Despite a dismal domestic season that sees them languishing in 16th, their unbeaten European run under Ruben Amorim has revitalised belief.
A commanding 7-1 semi-final win over Athletic Club and a dramatic 7-6 quarter-final against Lyon have been highlights of their season. United’s European pedigree – with two previous Europa League titles – gives them the edge heading into Wednesday’s clash.
However, Tottenham cannot be underestimated - they are a best price of 13/10 with bet365 to lift the trophy and 27/11 (Vbet) to win the tie in normal time.
Postecoglou’s side have beaten United three times this season, including a thrilling 4-3 Carabao Cup quarter-final, and have never trailed in those meetings.
While their Premier League form has collapsed, Spurs have the chance to end a 17-year trophy drought and claim a first European title since 1984.

2. Anytime Goalscorer: Bruno Fernandes - 5/2
Bruno Fernandes is joint-top scorer in this season’s Europa League with seven goals, and a strike in the final would see him claim the Golden Boot outright. In fact, only Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (34) and Radamel Falcao (30) have scored more goals in the competition than Fernandes (27).
He’s delivered in the big moments too, netting a hat-trick against Real Sociedad and a brace in the semi-final win over Athletic Bilbao. As United’s reliable penalty taker - converting 38 of 42 spot-kicks - Fernandes remains their most likely source of a goal in Bilbao.

3. Played to be Carded: Rodrigo Bentancur - 9/4
Rodrigo Bentancur’s all-action style makes him a prime card contender in a high-stakes final. The Uruguayan midfielder averages 1.9 tackles and 1.1 fouls per game and has already been shown four yellow cards in 12 Europa League appearances this season.
With eight bookings domestically and a key role in Spurs’ aggressive press under Postecoglou, his combative approach could easily land him in the referee’s book.
4. Player to be Carded: Manuel Ugarte - 2/1
Manuel Ugarte’s relentless defensive style makes him a strong candidate for a card in the final. Averaging 2.9 tackles and 1.5 fouls per game, the Uruguayan is central to United’s press and is crucial to breaking up play - often at the cost of a card.
With 11 yellow cards in the Premier League and two more in the Europa League, his combative role under Ruben Amorim could easily see him booked again on the big stage.
