Europa League Final Odds: Manchester United marginal favourites for Bilbao final

It may still be a few days away, but all of the talk this week surrounds the Uefa Europa League final, taking place in Bilbao on Wednesday night (20:00, TNT Sports 1). This game means absolutely everything for both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, with the pair floundering in the Premier League in 2024/25. 

Below you can find all the latest Europa League Final Odds, courtesy of Betfred, for the 2025 Europa League final. 

As you can see from the odds, there is barely anything to separate these two teams at the time of writing. They’ve both been absolutely dreadful in the Premier League, with defeats on Friday night leaving them on just 38 and 39 points respectively after 37 league fixtures. 

That would be a total that would land them both in relegation danger in a normal campaign, but given the weakness of the bottom three clubs this season, they’ve managed to avoid the drop. However, the loser of this final will be staring at their worst season in recent history, and the fact that two of the so-called ‘big-six’ are in this situation is remarkable. 

The winner of this final will get away with a shocker of a domestic campaign, and qualify for the Champions League and all the riches that provides. It really is an all or nothing final and Betfred have only a paper-width between them looking at the odds. 

Europa League Final Odds

Manchester United are the favourites to get the job done in 90 minutes, but only just. At 8/5, it is arguably their European pedigree, the quality of Bruno Fernandes, and the never-say-die spirit we have seen from them in this competition so far that has them priced up as favourites. They are also coming up against a Tottenham Hotspur outfit that hasn’t won anything in 17 years, and they have a manager in charge in Ange Postecoglou who may well be leaving his role whether they win or lose. 

The quarter-final win over Lyon was simply magnificent, as they came back in extra-time with late goals from Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire to secure a famous win. The semi-final was far more straightforward and gave them the benefit of playing at San Mamés Stadium, as they hammered Athletic Bilbao over two legs. 

Meanwhile, Spurs got past Bodo/Glint over two legs to reach this final, and it’s fair to say that both have benefitted from the new European format, which no longer sees teams drop down from the Champions League into this competition. Spurs have the better of the head-to-head form, as the London club are unbeaten across their last six meetings with United (W4 D2), winning 3-0 at Old Trafford in September, 1-0 at home in February and also securing a 4-3 success in the League Cup quarter-finals back in December.

Both teams are 5/6 to win the tie and lift the trophy, which just shows you how tough this final will be to call. Looking at the other odds, both teams can be backed at 10/1 to win on penalties if you fancy a long night, while over 2.5 goals in 90 minutes is 10/11 and BTTS is 8/11. Bruno Fernandes is surely worth considering as a goalscorer, and the Portuguese man is 13/2 to score first and 11/5 to find the net at anytime across the 90.

Dominic Solanke, with eight league goals to his name, is the same price to strike first, but 9/4 to score anytime. Rasmus Hojlund is 7/1 to open the scoring while Amad Diallo could provide value now he is back from injury at 8/1. United have just seemed to be able to find a way to win trophies in the last two seasons, even when they haven’t been at their best. With such a massive reward on the line, will they be able to repeat the feat in Spain?

These odds are subject to change and will fluctuate as we approach kick-off on Wednesday night.
