The UEFA Europa League final clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United brings together two historic Premier League rivals with a rich head-to-head record. Tottenham have enjoyed a strong run under manager Ange Postecoglou this season, winning all three meetings against Manchester United, including a 3-0 win at Old Trafford and a 4-3 victory in the League Cup quarter-final. Manchester United, despite recent struggles and injury issues, remain a formidable opponent looking to overturn recent form in a high-stakes final.
Key Factors to Consider
Tottenham have been in impressive form this season against Manchester United, remaining unbeaten in six consecutive matches with four wins and one draw under Postecoglou. Their attacking efficiency and defensive resilience have been notable, highlighted by a strong home and away record. Manchester United have faced injury challenges but have historically dominated the fixture with more overall wins. United's motivation to claim the Europa League and gain a trophy to salvage their season should not be underestimated.
Historically, Manchester United have been dominant with 34 wins in 59 matches against Tottenham, who have won 13 times with 12 draws. The average goals per game between these sides is approximately 2.83, indicating generally open and competitive matches. This season, Tottenham have reversed recent trends with three wins in three meetings against United, including a decisive 3-0 victory at Old Trafford and a thrilling 4-3 League Cup encounter.
Manchester United have been impacted by injuries leading into this match, affecting squad depth and options, while Tottenham have enjoyed a relatively healthier squad. Injury issues on the United side may impact their ability to field their strongest lineup, possibly favoring Tottenham in terms of squad freshness and tactical stability.
The match being a Europa League final raises the stakes significantly, likely increasing intensity and tactical caution from both teams. Tottenham’s home advantage at their stadium is a crucial factor, as atmosphere and fan support will be heavily on their side. Weather and pitch conditions are expected to be standard for May in London, with no significant external disruptions.
Tottenham enter the match with high confidence given their recent dominance over Manchester United this season. Their motivation is bolstered by the opportunity to secure a major European trophy, adding to their recent positive trajectory. Conversely, Manchester United have strong motivation to end a difficult season on a high note with a trophy, making this a fiercely contested final.

Predicted Outcome
Tottenham Hotspur are favored to win this Europa League final due to their superior recent form, home advantage, and healthier squad. A tightly contested game with multiple goals is expected, but Tottenham’s tactical edge and momentum point towards them clinching the victory.
Manchester United lead 3-0 from the first leg in Bilbao. The second leg at Old Trafford will determine who advances to the final, with Athletic Club needing a historic comeback. United's dominant first-leg performance included goals from Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes (x2), while Athletic's Dani Vivian was sent off, leaving them shorthanded and demoralized.
Key Factors to Consider
Man Utd’s clinical first-leg display (3 goals in 30 minutes) contrasts sharply with Athletic’s inability to capitalize domestically or in Europe. United’s defensive organization limited Athletic to zero shots on target in the first leg[3].
Recent head-to-head favors United after their comprehensive first-leg victory. Historical data is limited as these teams rarely meet in European competition.
Man Utd’s squad received a boost with Matthijs de Ligt and Amad Diallo returning to the traveling party[4]. No reported injuries from Athletic beyond the red-card suspension of Vivian.
Athletic Club’s motivation stems from the final being held at their home stadium (San Mames), but their 3-goal deficit and away leg at Old Trafford make this nearly insurmountable.
United are prioritizing Europa League success to salvage their season and secure Champions League qualification[4], while Athletic face psychological pressure to avoid humiliation.

Second leg of the UEFA Europa League semi-final following Tottenham's 3-1 first-leg win. Bodø/Glimt need a two-goal margin to force extra time, having won 6/7 home Europa matches this season. Spurs hold a commanding aggregate lead but face a hostile northern Norway venue.
Key Factors to Consider
Bodø/Glimt: 6 home wins in 7 Europa matches this season. Tottenham: 14-match unbeaten home Europa run, but away form less dominant.
First competitive meetings occurred in this tie, with Spurs winning the initial encounter convincingly.
No specific injury reports available in provided data, but Tottenham's physical approach (evidenced by aggressive man-marking strategies) risks fatigue.
Aspmyra's artificial pitch and northern Norway climate could favor home side. Late Bodø/Glimt goal in first leg shifted momentum psychologically.
Bodø/Glimt must attack relentlessly to overcome deficit. Tottenham may play conservatively to protect aggregate lead.
