Get the lowdown on Wednesday’s 2017 UEFA Europa League final in Stockholm, featuring possible line-ups of Ajax and Man Utd, the odds to look for, form guides and suggested betting picks.
Ajax v Man United
Manchester United and Ajax contest in the 46th final in the competition. They have 7 Champions League trophies in total; Ajax has 4 and United 3. But the English club has never won the Europa League (or previously UEFA Cup) trophy, the only missing from their trophy case.
- Ajax expected to name side with average age of 22.
- United is unbeaten in ten European games (7-3-0).
Preview continues under the Match Center.
Ajax was incredible at home (7-0-0) and survived in their away European matches winning just the first one back in September.
Ajax’s last outing came on 14 May when a side with an average age of 20.5 years beat Willem II 3-1 in Tilburg. The Amsterdam giants finished a point behind Eredivisie champions Feyenoord who held on to win the title.
Mourinho realised during the season that European glory was a shortcut to next year’s Champions League.He prioritised the Europa League on top of his team’s tasks and worked accordingly focusing on being in Stockholm. The final is a different story but Mourinho has all the experience in the world of games like this.
He rested many key players as United ended their domestic campaign, finishing 6th in the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace. Pogba assisted and scored looking back in form.
Possible line-ups
Ajax: Onana; Veltman, De Ligt, Sánchez, Riedewald; Klaassen, Schöne, Ziyech; Traoré, Dolberg, Younes.
Out: Viergever (suspended), Sinkgraven (knee/fitness)
Manchester United: Romero; Valencia, Jones, Blind, Darmian; Fellaini, Herrera, Pogba; Lingard, Rashford, Mkhitaryan.
Out: Bailly (suspended), Shaw (ankle), Ibrahimović (knee), Rojo (knee), Young (hamstring)
The absences of Viergever and Sinkgraven won’t unduly upset the shape of the team. As long as they don’t freeze, there’s no reason why they can’t prevail. Bosz’s young side have played attacking and attractive football to get to the final. But winning the trophy with a mediocre away run is tricky to predict.
Major trophies are Mourinho’s professional sustenance. United consist of an enigma; will they contain and counter or will they aim to dominate the match on Ajax’s inexperience? Aw in every other final, expect a trick or two as well as a detailed tactical plan from the Portuguese manager.
Mourinho faced Ajax six times as Real Madrid coach, winning all six games by an aggregate score of 20–2.
My predictions are the following (also on the table below including the stakes):
- 2-3 goals to be scored. Picked at 1.95 with bet365.
- A correct score of 1-1. It is priced at 6.00 with bet365.
- Man Utd to win the trophy on extra time, priced at 11.00 with bet365.
