Europa League final 2024/25: Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United betting tips

Ahead of the 2024/25 Europa League final between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, the experts at Ladbrokes share their top betting tips.

The two teams are having underwhelming seasons in the Premier League and are languishing above the relegation spots in 16th and 17th. The Europa League final offers a shot at redemption, with silverware and Champions League qualification on the table.

Man Utd enter the game as slight favourites, with Tottenham's injury crisis in midfield affecting their chances. Below are Ladbrokes' top betting tips for the 2025 Europa League final between Spurs and Man Utd.

Dominic Solanke has had a decent debut campaign at Tottenham considering the chaos around him, with 15 goals in all competitions despite a couple of injuries.

The England striker has become the centre of Ange Postecoglou's attack, and his hold-up play is crucial to their style of play. If fit, he is nailed on to start.

Solanke scored in both games he played against Man United this season, as well as grabbing 3 goals in the quarter and semi-finals of this competition.

He averages over 1 shot on goal per game in both the Premier League and Europa League, so we're backing him to get at least 1 shot on target in the final.

Where would Manchester United be without Bruno Fernandes? The United skipper has carried his team throughout the season, and there would be genuine relegation fears if he had not been there.

He has played a pivotal role in Europe as well, sitting joint-top of the goalscoring charts with 7, adding 4 assists too. He silenced Bilbao in the semi-finals with a brace at San Mamés - where the final will be held - and has scored in every knockout round of the Europa League.

We think he'll continue that by scoring in the final. Fernandes is the one player who can create a goal out of nothing for United, and as he's on free-kick and penalty duties, there should be plenty of opportunities to score for Bruno against Tottenham's shaky defence.

The cards are stacked against Spurs as they try and win their first trophy since 2008, with several midfield options injured. Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are all ruled out, while Pape Sarr is a doubt.

That means they will have to rely on Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur, who are more defensive-minded in their play. Bentancur leads the way for Tottenham in bookings, with 8 in the Premier League and 4 in the Europa League.

Bentancur has been preferred as the deepest midfielder recently, and would be operating in the spaces where Ruben Amorim's narrow #10s like to play, particularly talisman Bruno Fernandes. As the game wears on, it's easy to imagine Bentancur getting shown a card.

We reckon the Red Devils will just about have what it takes to overcome Spurs. Neither team has any form to speak of, but Manchester United have looked the more convincing side in Europe and have players such as Fernandes and Casemiro that have big-game experience.

Tottenham have really suffered with the injuries. Bergvall was having a great season, and Maddison and Kulusevski are their two most creative players. Their midfield will have energy, but it is difficult to see who will come off the bench. Heung-Min Son will need to have a big game.

Spurs can be encouraged by the fact it is the year of the underdog, with Newcastle and Crystal Palace ending long trophy droughts. Ange Postecoglou is also unbeaten in five matches against Man United, and famously 'always wins things' in his second season.

We think Spurs will turn up - they may even score first - but United's history will serve them well, and in a tense affair Amorim's side will emerge victorious after extra time.
