Villarreal meet Man Utd at the Stadion Energa Gdansk (Gdansk, Poland) in the Europa League Final and the match kicks off at 8 pm (UK) on Wednesday, May 26. Read our reasons for Villarreal vs Man Utd prediction and betting tips.
Villarreal meet Man Utd this Wednesday evening in the Europa League final at Arena Gdańsk. Both clubs are coming at the game from opposite perspectives - Villarreal are playing for glory, the biggest game in their history, while United are endeavoring to prove that they can win trophies under Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer. The former’s season has been built around their European campaign. They brought in Unai Emery, a Europa League specialist if there ever was one, and have prioritised the competition over La Liga all season. United on the other hand have gradually improved under Solskjaer if not spectacularly. Breaking the semifinal jinx, Solskjaer has led United to a second-place finish in the league with a steady increase in points from last season where they finished third. The Europa League trophy would be his first piece of silverware with the club.
Villarreal have prioritised the Europa League over La Liga this season, and with specialist Unai Emery at the helm, the Spaniards will believe they can go all the way. They lost 2-1 at the weekend to Real Madrid and now need this win to make sure they qualify for next season’s Champions League. Emery's three previous final wins showed him capable of triumphing in a variety of ways, but Wednesday's game will need to be won as underdogs.
Villarreal’s path to Poland was long and but rather straightforward. They got past a group containing Sivasspor, Qarabag, and Maccabi Tel-Aviv. They didn’t lose a single game, drew only one before beating RB Salzburg 4-1 on aggregate in the R-32. Emery’s outfit then saw off Dynamo Kyiv without much hassle before defeating a rejuvenated Dinamo Zagreb who dismantled Tottenham. Emery then had the final laugh as Villarreal beat his former side Arsenal in the semifinal to reach their first-ever Europa League final.
As for United, after being knocked out of the Europa League by eventual winners Sevilla last season, they entered this competition in the last 32 after being eliminated from the Champions League group stage which contained PSG, RB Leipzig, and Istanbul Basaksehir. The Red Devils then made light work of Real Sociedad, AC Milan in the R-16, Granada in the quarterfinal, and an entertaining tie against AS Roma which ended 8-5 on aggregate.
United have undoubtedly improved under Solskjaer, steadily if unspectacularly, but one significant cross his team bears is an inability in the clutch moments. Last season's semi-final loss to Sevilla hurt Ole Gunnar Solskjær and his players. United paid a heavy price for their profligacy and are determined not to make the same mistakes again, as shown by their ruthless first-leg display against Roma as they look to end their longest run without a trophy since the late 1980s.

Villarreal meet Man Utd for the fifth time, with each of the previous four meetings finishing nil-nil in the Champions League between 2005/06 and 2008/09. Man Utd have faced Villarreal more times without ever scoring than they have any other opponent in their history. United will be the odds on favourites, but will vary of Villarreal. Emery has won the tournament three times and this will be his fifth final. The Spaniard has the tactical acumen and experience for the big stage and will look to stage an upset.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
