Europa League Semi-Finals: Man United and Villareal On Finals Collision Course
Europa League Games Semi-Finals Second-leg

- When: Thursday, May 6
The Gunners had lost 2 straight, which is why Arsenal’s “get back on track” match versus Newcastle on May 2 is so important. The Premier League squad beat rival Newcastle 2-0. Mohamed Elneny and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored goals for Arsenal.
Arsenal got their offense back on track in the victory on May 6. If the Gunners tie on the aggregate, score a goal while holding Villareal to 0, Arsenal wins because they got a road goal versus Villareal in the first leg.
The Gunners must step it up on Thursday. La Liga squad Villareal has a goal lead over the Gunners. Not only that, but the road team in this has played great.
On April 25, Villareal hung tough with Messi and Barca, losing by a single goal in a 2-1 match. Then on April 29 came the 2-1 victory against Arsenal. On May 2, Villareal beat Getafe 1-0.
The 1-goal lead is massive. The Spanish Primera Division team can play defense. As long as they force a draw, they win on the aggregate.
Expect Villareal to play strong. Arsenal has had few back-to-back excellent performances this season. Villareal forces a draw and marches to the Europa League Final.
Soccer Pick: Draw
Manchester United -111 Vs As Roma +247
- When: Thursday, May 6
As Roma decided to play their worst soccer of the season at the worst time. The Italy Serie A team is a mess.
Not only did Man United build a ridiculous 4-goal lead over Roma at Old Trafford in the first-leg, but Roma has also blown it against bad Serie A squads. Such powerhouse teams like Cagliari, who is in fourth to last place in Serie A, and Torino, who is 42 points behind Serie A leader Inter Milano, bested Roma.
Things have gotten so bad in the home team’s last five matches that Roma fired manager Paulo Fonseca and hired Jose Mourinho. The change won’t help Roma make it to the Europa League Finals.
But the change, even if Mourinho doesn’t stand on the sidelines, could help the beat down squad get by United. Man U can rest plenty of starters in this one. A 4-goal lead is a lot of runway for a talented team. Roma wins. Manchester United notches their ticket to the finals.
