The Uefa Europa League has reached the quarter final stage and our focus on Thursday's coupon is the first leg of the tie between Granada and Manchester United
Granada 4.77/1 Draw 2.68/1 Manchester United 0.67/1
Granada made it through to the last 8 with a 3-2 aggregate win over Molde, winning the first leg 2-0 and losing the return 2-1. Their stand out result came in the Round of 32 when they knocked out Napoli. Again, they won the first leg 2-0 on home turf and an away goal in the first half of the return was enough even though they lost 2-1 on the night.
The adventure in Europe may have impacted on Granada's La Liga campaign. They still occupy a healthy enough mid table position and 8 wins from 15 matches alongside 3 draws and 4 defeats is the fifth best in the Spanish top flight.
United faced Spanish opposition in the Round of 32 and a 4-0 win in the first leg against Real Sociedad put the tie to bed ahead of a 0-0 draw in the return. That set up a last 16 clash with AC Milan and the first leg in Manchester finished all square at 1-1 and United edged the return 1-0 thanks to a second half goal from Pogba.
United's EPL campaign looks set to deliver a top 4 finish. They are currently in second spot, 14 points behind Manchester City but 9 clear of fifth placed Chelsea and they remain unbeaten on their travels with 9 wins and 6 draws.
More Beting Markets
A total goals count of 3 or more in the first leg is priced at 11/10 and it's the same price for both teams to find the net.
United to score at least twice is priced at 0.83/1.
Verdict:
This is big occasion for Granada who proved what they are capable of against Napoli so United will have to be on their game.
For a bet I'm looking for the trend of 2-3 goals in Granada's Europa League matches to continue. It's an outcome which has arrived in 6 of 9 Granada matches in this competition including all 4 legs of the knockout rounds.
Bets: 1st leg total goals 2-3 at even money
