MANCHESTER UNITED host Real Betis this Thursday night in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.

United come into this one off the back of a humiliating 7-0 defeat at rivals Liverpool on Sunday and need to bounce back significantly in front of their own support.

Man Utd vs Real Betis predictions

United have some making up to do to their supporters after Sunday's atrocity.

Erik ten Hag will have them fired up from the start and they'll look to put a marker down ahead of the second leg.

Southampton visit Old Trafford this weekend so there will be no resting of his star players for this one.

United will look to channel the energy shown in the last European tie here, when they knocked Barcelona out in the last round.

It was one of the Reds' top performances of the season to dump the La Liga leaders out in the playoff round to set up this tie.

That preceded a Carabao Cup final win, where everything looked red and rosy for United and their immediate future before the shattering blow at Anfield.

Man Utd are favourites for this competition for a reason though and they'll be eager to show Sunday was a blip on their record in what has been a staggering form turnaround.

Betis come into this one on a four-game unbeaten streak, the latter of which a 0-0 draw at home to Real Madrid.

They're fifth in La Liga at the moment too as European football is very much on their mind for next season too.

Man Utd vs Real Betis Betting Tips

Man Utd half time/full time - 11/10 (Bet365)

Ten Hag will be demanding an instant reaction and quickfire response from his United flops.

They should be quick out the blocks and we can see them taking a lead in at the break.

At 2/5 odds, it's expected they will take a lead to Spain for the return leg next week.

But these odds offer a bit more value with United looking to start fast.

Marcus Rashford to score first - 7/2 with bet365

United's talisman will lead the line on Thursday and look to carry on his sensational recent form.

Despite going without a goal in his past two games, the England striker made it seven goals in seven games leading up to the West Ham cup game - where he started on the bench.

He had a huge opportunity to put United ahead before Liverpool's opener on Sunday and will hope to rectify that here.

bet365 have boosted his odds from 10/3 too.....

Correct score - Man Utd 2-0 Real Betis - 6/1 with bet365

United will want to take a lead to Spain next week and they should do it at the odds.

A one goal lead might not be enough for the hosts and they will push for a bigger scoreline.

Betis have shown they can be leaky at the back despite holding out Real Madrid last week.

Bruno Fernandes to be booked - 3/1 with bet365

Will his Anfield tantrum see him dropped for this one?

You'd think that would be unlikely, but he might still be angry from Sunday.

It was an afternoon to forget for the United stand-in skipper and he'll be overly eager to put that right.

But he's partial to a foul and booking and 3/1 looks generous here.

Race to 7 corners - Man Utd to win at 11/10

As mentioned, this could turn into attack vs defence for much of the evening.

And with out and out wingers, that spells corners, corners, corners!

Their last home game here was against West Ham where they racked up eight corners and this could be similar here.
