Just looking at their results this season and they seem to have got a red card every other week
Europa League 22/23 | Final: Sevilla vs Roma (May 31)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Nah. Sociedad would have been much worse and more boring. And being better than Roma isn't a big deal at all, hardly any sort of a measuring stick. And Betis has really old team, they will not be able to keep up with United's tempo.
never believe that "favourites" nonsense. England are always favourites to win tournament with UK bookies because Brits back them more than any other teams. I think Arsenal have got a pretty easy tie, as I've said. And our record against Spanish teams in general is not great, despite yesterday
No. There aren't... The 3 of them got knocked out last night.
Didn't want to say it for fear of offending but pretty much this. If we up the tempo there's very few teams that can deal with us.
The away tie I would say will be 17:45.
FFS, more Spanish, great...
We'll beat them twice.
Impossible to call - depends on where you end up in the stadium, match situation etc. One to judge yourself on context.
Not a bad draw and at this point, we can expect to beat a team like Juventus or Roma and Arsenal to win the cup.
It's not the easiest but certainly not the hardest either. Sociedad and I'd argue Feyenoord would be more difficult ties. Think we're just bored of playing Spanish shithouses.
Away leg will be for sure (if you're attending it will 18:45). Us and Arse won't play at the same time and and our home games are in different weeks. With the 1h time difference it always makes more sense to have the UK fixtures in the late slot.
I don't know how you define the better team, but they won their group thanks to this game... 61% possession but not 1 big chance and 0 corners... And with Roma having 3 times the expected goals...
More Spanish bullshit
Maybe not kids, but definitely a team which includes, Maguire, Linderloff, Malacia, Mctomminy, Martial and the ones who don’t start on Sunday.
Oh well. Another tiring Spanish encounter with soft penalties to overcome.
Was hoping our players could catch a break.

Was going to say the same thing, defo one at old Trafford
Real Betis have lost to both Barca and Real Madrid in the league by narrow 2-1 score lines. They will be hard to breakdown as they aren’t playing under the weight of any expectation.
Nice. Keep these Sunday/Thursday games going for a bit longer but without being able to use the youth team. 
Man, seems like we have to play these Spanish teams every season. Already sort of expecting a slip up for no particular reason.
I agree. On top of that we never have an easy time against Spanish teams.
you’re kidding? 100%
Let's sink the entire Spanish armada!

Well I watched that game and I remember in the first half Roma barely passed the halfway line 4-5 times. Betis tiqui taca was impressive and every time they lost the ball committed a foul to stop Roma counter-attacks: a brilliant way to play.
Then in the 2nd half the spanish team were a bit tired and Roma created a couple of chances more to score but in my eyes Betis were the better team even if stats suggest otherwise..
Well Roma was extremely lucky with dodgy VAR decisions against HJK and lost to Ludogorets.I don't know how you define the better team, but they won their group thanks to this game... 61% possession but not 1 big chance and 0 corners... And with Roma having 3 times the expected goals...
Worst possible draw we could have got. Still fancy us to knock them out, but will be two close games I reckon.
6 including Barca.
Easyjet failed me - I had flights for £130 from Gatwick lined up but the website stuck by which time it was £400 return - I'm not paying that!
Some call it brilliant, I'd call it shameless.
Home tie tickets are available atm, got one for £29 so decent price as well.
Their record is ridiculous
Sergio Canales is playing for Betis.
Betis should be afraid of us, but I would have liked for us to have met a team from different country than Spain for a change.
We called the black Thursday, it was tragic
We'll be playing against 12 men again then...
not saying we aren’t favorites, but the instant dismissal of teams by our fans is like they’ve never watched football and just pure arrogance.
These won’t be a walkover and have the 2nd game at home.
I'm not an United-fan, i just think Betis will be a dull, uninteresting tie.
In fact, none of these draws looks all that interesting, hope for better in the next round i guess.
I guess this season's EL draws are karma for the piss easy 2017 run.
Why are some making out Betis are prime Brazil and we aren't the Manchester reds? Get a grip!
Nice. Keep these Sunday/Thursday games going for a bit longer but without being able to use the youth team.
Yawn
We have played 1st, 3rd and 5th ranked teams in La Liga in the first 3 rounds of the Europa league ffs
meanwhile some teams haven't even faced a big 5 league opponent yet
