Our score prediction for Tottenham vs Man United, predicted lineups and the five most popular bets on the Europa League final.
20:00 Wednesday
Domestic underachievers Tottenham and Man United meet in tonight's Europa League final with both sides clinging to hopes of salvaging dismal campaigns. European glory – and a Champions League spot for 2025/26 – is the prize on offer in Bilbao.
Tottenham vs Man United Prediction
- Tottenham gear up for the second European final in six years as they look to end their lengthy wait for silverware.
- Spurs, though, have failed to score in their last four major cup finals, with Jonathan Woodgate the last Tottenham player to net in a showpiece event, doing so in 2008.
- United will hope to maintain their unbeaten European record as they return to Bilbao on Wednesday night.
- United eased to a 3-0 win at San Mames last month but have lost all three meetings with Spurs this season, failing to score in two of those.
- Ange Postecoglou boasts a strong record in cup finals and has often highlighted his track record of delivering success in his second season at clubs. But with Tottenham’s domestic form in freefall, failing to lift the Europa League trophy could cast serious doubt over his future.
- However, Spurs' opponents' experience in cup finals, combined with injuries to James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, perhaps swings this tie in United's favour, who could just edge this one.
- Man United head into this one as the favourites - click here to read more.

Tottenham vs Man United Team News
- Pape Sarr was forced off early in the second half of Friday's 2-0 loss at Aston Villa and will be assessed, while Lucas Bergvall is also a doubt for Spurs amidst rumours he has returned to training quicker than expected.
- Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison, along with centre-back Radu Dragusin, all miss out for the north London side.
- Wilson Odobert may start in the number 10 role in Bilbao, though Son Heung-Min may also start behind Dominic Solanke with Richarlison on the left.
- The rest of the side, however, picks itself, with Spurs' first choice back-five all rested.
- Manchester United will hope to have Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro available for selection for Wednesday's game in Bilbao with the trio working hard to recover here.
- Diogo Dalot and Jonny Evans are also doubts, meaning Lisandro Martinez is Manchester United's only confirmed absentee due to injury.
- Ruben Amorim may go with the same XI that started the home win over Athletic Club earlier this month, Yoro's fitness depending.

Europa League Final Most Popular Bets
1. Man United to Lift the Trophy - 4/6
Despite their struggles in the league, Manchester United have been the most backed team to lift the Europa League trophy. Punters are siding with their unbeaten European run and proven pedigree in finals to get the job done in Bilbao.
Back Man United to Lift the Trophy!
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.
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.
Back Bruno Fernandes To Score Anytime!
3. Tottenham 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. Man United 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.
