Man Utd vs. Sevilla Betting Tips: Antony a generous price in the fouls market

Manchester United take on Sevilla on Thursday evening as the pair face off in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie. Here at BettingOdds.com we’ve previewed the game and provided you with our best bets.
Prior to this season, Manchester United’s record against Spanish sides in Europe has not been great in recent years. However, Erik ten Hag’s men have already knocked out both Barcelona and Real Betis in this Europa League campaign and now face another Spanish outfit over two legs in Andalusian side Sevilla.
After three consecutive top-four La Liga finishes, Sevilla will be extremely disappointed with their 2022/2023 campaign. They now sit five points above the drop zone in 13th in their domestic standings, and their only path to European football next season would be to win this competition, which would see them play Champions League Football.
Man Utd vs Sevilla Tips
With Marcus Rashford unlikely to start the game on Thursday, due to a groin issue he picked up against Everton last weekend, there should be more impetus on Antony to provide the goals at Old Trafford on Thursday.
A player who we are yet to see the best of since arriving in Manchester, we are backing the Brazilian to give away at least one foul against Sevilla. Betfair and Paddy Power have 6/5 on show with other betting sites such as Sky Bet going odds-on at 5/6 for this same selection.
Taking a look back at Antony’s last 15 appearances for United and he has given away one or more fouls in ten of those. With a 66% rate of success for this selection over his last 15 matches, and with this being a European quarter-final, we think the 6/5 that implies only a 45% chance of success, holds some value for punters here.
After a strong showing against Everton where the midfielder got on the scoresheet, Scott McTominay should retain his place in the starting XI for the home side. At the time of writing, 7/2 is available with Betfair or Paddy Power for McTominay to be carded and is a price we think is well worth some consideration.
McSauce may have only made 21 league appearances this season, (10 of those being starts), but he has collected seven yellow cards. With 1120 minutes of league football in 2022/2023, that translates at 0.6 yellows per 90 minutes and with 7/2 available here, he looks worth taking a punt on. ,
