Sevilla have been priced at 7/2 by the best Europa League betting sites to win the competition after a shock victory over tournament favourites Manchester United.

United blew a two goal lead in the first leg with six minutes remaining in regular time, leaving a challenging task to qualify for the Europa League semi-final in Seville.

A hospital pass from David De Gea left Harry Maguire trapped and nowhere to go, pounced upon by Sevilla’s Youssef En-Nesyri to open the scoring and put the hosts in front.

Loic Bade added a second in the air from Ivan Perisic’s corner shortly after the interval, leaving De Gea red-faced once again.

United’s miseries hit a new low when the Spanish goalkeeper was caught 40 yards from his own area and a dodgy touch gifted the ball to En-Nesyri to round him embarrassingly and slot home for a third.

Despite the visitors having over 60% possession, Sevilla scored three from six shots on target and shocked Erik ten Hag’s side to advance in the competition to face Juventus in the semis.

Sevilla Europa League Odds

  • Juventus @ 15/8
  • Bayer Leverkusen @ 5/2
  • Roma @ 11/4
  • Sevilla @ 7/2

Sevilla will now face Italian giants Juventus in the next round who beat Sporting Lisbon 2-1 on aggregate and had their 15 point deduction redacted in Serie A earlier today to put them third.

The Spaniards have won a record six UEFA Cup/Europa League titles and carry all the momentum to make it seven under Jose Luis Mendilibar, last winning in 2019/20.

They knocked out Fenerbahce in the knockout stage after topping Group A ahead of APOEL, Qarabag and Dudelange. Despite a disappointing domestic campaign in La Liga, sitting 13th, Sevilla have a golden opportunity to save their season in Europe.
