Top 2 Athletic Club vs. Man United Picks for May 1

1. Athletic to Win (-105)

It has been one year since Athletic Club claimed the Copa del Rey, their first major trophy in four decades. They haven’t looked back since. For those who bet on soccer, they are all but guaranteed to finish in the top four in La Liga and qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

They are sitting five points clear of fifth-placed Villarreal, and they are just two games away from contesting a Europa League Final in their own stadium, per Athletic Club vs Man United stats. And unlike United, they will have had eight days to prepare for their upcoming Europa League fixture. They are favored at -105 in soccer lines for Thursday’s match.

Whereas Athletic are clicking on all cylinders with three wins in four, Manchester United are treading water under Ruben Amorim. The Red Devils were just seconds away from a third straight league defeat until Rasmus Hojlund equalized in the 96th minute to secure a point at Bournemouth, but that doesn’t change the fact that they have been shambolic in their travels.

Apart from a 3-0 win vs. already-relegated Leicester City, Manchester United have lost three of their last seven away matches and drawn the other four. We’re backing their away woes to continue against Athletic in our Europa League picks.

2. Under 2.5 Goals (-145)

Both Valverde and Amorim will be looking to keep their cards close to their chest ahead of the second leg in Old Trafford, and as such, there’s reason to believe that this will be a fairly low-scoring fixture.

Seven of Athletic’s last eight matches have featured under 2.5 goals, and they should have no issue limiting a United side that has scored a miserly 39 goals in 34 league matches. We’re backing this one to be a fairly low-scoring affair in our soccer predictions.
