Man United vs. Barcelona Bet Builder Tips

Manchester United play Barcelona at Old Trafford on Thursday evening in the second leg of their Europa League knockout tie. Here at BettingOdds, we’ve put together our best Bet Builder tips for the occasion.

The first leg between these two sides certainly lived up to expectations, with an entertaining 2-2 draw at the Nou Camp. Following on from last Thursday's events, most Betting Sites have Manchester United the favourites to advance to the last-16, priced at 4/6 to do so. Barcelona can be sided with at 11/10, but will be without key players Gavi and Pedri for the trip to England. 

It’s an exciting week for Erik ten Hag’s side with the visit of Barcelona being followed with a trip to Wembley on Sunday in the Carabao Cup final. United are unbeaten in their last eight games in all competitions and will be pleased to see both Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro return from suspension.

Rashford to Score & Kessie to be Carded

We are kicking our Bet Builder off on Thursday with a player who is in the form of his life at the moment, Marcus Rashford. Since returning from the World Cup. Rashford has scored a remarkable 16 goals in 17 appearances, although three of those appearances came as a substitute. 

The 25-year-old is looking deadly in front of goal at the moment and was on the scoresheet in Spain last week, before notching a brace at the weekend in the 3-0 win over Leicester. Rashford has scored in his last five consecutive games and we are surprised to see him priced so generously considering his current confidence.

We’ll be pairing Rashford to score with Franck Kessie to be carded. The Barcelona midfielder should slot into the starting XI with both Pedri and Gavi missing, and taking a look at his disciplinary record in La Liga this season, he has been shown four yellow cards despite only playing 469 minutes of football. 

The Ivorian was shown eight yellows in his final season in Serie A with AC Milan and with United in such strong form on home turf, there’s a good chance Kessie will be in for a stiff test in front of a lively Old Trafford crowd. 

Combining both these selections pays 9/1 with either Paddy Power or the Betfair Sportsbook.
