Quarter finals
Here we go— rallins (@rallinDD1) February 24, 2023
Ten Hag’s men will definitely be favourites to progress to the quarter-finals. Betis are a decent side but they don’t cause teams many problems in terms of their attacking threat.
This season, they have scored just 29 goals in 22 matches but they are quite strong at the back as well, so you wouldn’t expect the two legs to be high scoring.
Considering United possess a ton of firepower, with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnarcho, they should have enough to make it through to the next round.
