Athletic Club vs. Manchester United:
“Manchester United travel to the Basque Country for the second time this season.”
The Europa League has been a saving grace for Manchester United in an otherwise turbulent season, offering them a chance at European qualification next season. The team’s recent triumph against Real Sociedad has boosted their confidence as they face Athletic Club in the semi-finals.
“Athletic Club are fourth in La Liga and well-positioned to secure a Champions League spot.”
The prospect of playing the final at San Mamés Stadium is driving Athletic Club with added motivation. With key players like Nico Williams returning from injury, the Basque side is gearing up for a challenging clash against the Red Devils.
“United have not lost any of their 12 games in the Europa League this season.”
However, Manchester United faces an uphill battle as they confront an unbeaten Athletic Club on home turf. With both teams showcasing impressive records, it promises to be an electrifying encounter where only one will emerge victorious.

Tottenham vs. Bodø/Glimt:
“This is the furthest that Bodø – or any Norwegian club – have ever gone in Europe.”
Bodø/Glimt’s remarkable journey to the semi-finals has captured hearts, despite facing challenges with suspensions and injuries ahead of their clash with Tottenham. The underdogs aim to defy odds and continue their fairy-tale run.
“Spurs may be without Son Heung-Min on Thursday night.”
Tottenham, hungry for success after enduring Premier League struggles, sees Europa League as a gateway to redemption. With potential setbacks like Son Heung-Min’s absence adding pressure, Spurs must rally their best squad against Bodø/Glimt’s resilience.
“If they can keep the tie alive after the first leg… confident of beating Spurs when they meet again.”
Facing off against a resilient Bodø/Glimt side capable of causing upsets, Tottenham understands the importance of securing a strong result early on. The London outfit seeks to assert dominance and pave their way towards clinching victory over determined opponents.
Prediction: Tottenham to progress
