Villarreal

Villarreal has a very high level of the season. Unai Emery's team managed to reach the Europa League final. The “yellow submarine” started its way in the tournament from the group stage, where it did not experience any problems in the confrontation with “Karabakh”, “Sivasspor” and “Maccabi” from Tel Aviv, having confidently won the group with 16 points. There were no problems with Salzburg in the playoffs either. With a total score of 4:1 Villarreal defeated the opponent. The confrontation with Dynamo Kiev in the 1/8 finals was even calmer. In each of the matches Villarreal won a victory and moved further with a total score of 4:0. Dynamo Zagreb tried to fight, but fell with a score 3:1 on aggregate. In the semifinals, the yellow submarine hit Arsenal, which became, in fact, the only rival that managed to provide decent resistance. After a 2:1 victory at home, Villarreal had a hard time keeping the desired goalless draw in London, breaking through to the final of the tournament. As for the Spanish championship, the situation there is not as rosy as in the Europa League. Undoubtedly, Villarreal relied on the finish in the top four, but managed to end the season only on the seventh line in the table, which guarantees a ticket to the Conference League. The yellow submarine flew past the Europa League due to a 1:2 defeat to Real Madrid in the last round, which became 10 of the season. In general, the result of the championship can hardly be called successful, but for some players the season turned out to be truly powerful. Gerard Moreno scored 23 goals and lost only to Lionel Messi in the scorers' race. Together with Pau Torres, Villarreal's top scorer will go to the European Championship as part of the Spanish national team. The only serious loss to date was Samuel Chukvuese, who was injured in the return match against Arsenal.

Manchester United

In general, Manchester United is having a very solid season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team is close to another trophy. The Red Devils started their way in European competition this season in the Champions League, but could not make it to the playoffs. Having found themselves in the company of PSG, Leipzig and Basaksehir, Manchester United failed to win the competition against the French and Germans and went to the Europa League from third place.

The first rival of the Red Devils was Real Sociedad, which at that time was in excellent shape. However, despite all the predictions, the Basques were never able to fight. Already in the first match, Manchester United won 4:0 and then kept a goalless draw at home. Milan managed to snatch a 1:1 draw at Old Trafford in the 1/8 finals, but in Italy the English gained the desired 1:0 victory.

Granada did not create any problems for Manchester United. With a total score of 0:3 the Nasrid lost their ticket to the semifinals to a more status rival. The first half of the first semifinal match with Roma was really dramatic for the Red Devils. Manchester United left for the break with the score 1:2 in favor of the Wolves, but at that time the Romans had already used three substitutions.

In the second half of the meeting, Solskjaer's wards were unstoppable and sent five goals into the gates of the opponent, bloodied by injuries, without conceding a single one in response. The 6:2 victory turned the return match into a formality. The Red Devils lost 2:3 in Rome, but they made it to the final with confidence.

In the Premier League Manchester United performed very solidly. Even in the middle of the second round they managed to get to the second line and gain a foothold there, which saved them from the nervous ending of the championship, where competitors fought to the death for the Champions League. In the last round the Red Devils beat Wolverhampton with a score 2:1 with the reserve team and finished second in the table with 74 points.

As for Manchester United's losses for today's match, we can single out Anthony Martial and Phil Jones, who will definitely not be able to play. The participation of Fred and Harry Maguire in the final is also questionable. The decision will be made by Solskjaer directly on the day of the match, it is likely that the player will be able to recover. So, what is the accurate football predictions ?

Prediction

Villarreal gave their best in the Europa League, thereby blurring the finish of the season in the Spanish championship, so that today the yellow submarine will essentially play all-in. Special emphasis should be placed on Unai Emery, for whom this is already the fourth final of the tournament, three of which the 49-year-old specialist won, earning the nickname "King of the Europa League". This circumstance certainly gives the team confidence.

However, Villarreal's path to the trophy stands at Manchester United, for whom the match is also the quintessential European Cup season. The Red Devils have a very serious advantage in the class. The team has gained excellent shape and it is unlikely that Villarreal will be able to oppose anything to this.

We believe that the Spaniards have no chance. Prediction is victory for Manchester United. In bookmaker 1xBet such an outcome is offered with odds of 1.94.

Manchester United have a powerful attack and an excellent "supplier of shells" in the person of Bruno Fernandes. It will be almost impossible for the Spaniards to win back to zero in defense. At the same time, the “red devils” very often make mistakes in defense and remain dry only on major holidays, so it will clearly not be difficult to answer with a goal against Villarreal.

Our second bet will be both to score. This bet can be placed for 1.90.
