Europa Conference League Final: Collymore predicts winner of Man Utd vs Tottenham

Published

on

Stan Collymore, a former Liverpool star, has predicted the winner of the UEFA Europa League final between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.

Manchester United will tackle Tottenham in the Europa League final at San Mamés, Bilbao on May 21.

The Red Devils had defeated Athletic Club in the semi-final, while Spurs knocked out Bodø/Glimt from the competition.

Tottenham had won the last three meetings against Man United this season.

However, Collymore believes Tottenham will beat United in the Europa League final.

“I can see both finals going to extra time. In the Europa League, I could very easily see it ending 2-2 or 3-3 after 90 minutes because there is so much uncertainty surrounding how Tottenham and Man United will perform in Bilbao,” Collymore told CaughtOffside.

“It could very much be a toss of a coin for who win – but if I stick my neck out, I think Tottenham will take it because they have got the better of Man United in the previous three meetings this season.”

The kick-off time for the match is 8 p.m.

2026 World Cup: Super Eagles waiting for FIFA’s decision – Iwobi

Published

on

Super Eagles playmaker, Alex Iwobi, has admitted they are waiting to see if the team would still play at the 2026 World Cup.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is optimistic of a potential lifeline from FIFA, after it submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Iwobi was asked by SuperSport if he would rather lift the AFCON 2025 trophy or qualify for the World Cup?

The 29-year-old, who played at the 2018 of the World Cup, replied: “I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have like in your career, a memorable moment.

“But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been. They would like to say ‘I want to go to the World Cup,’ so I can’t be selfish and say win the AFCON and for my teammates to not go to the World Cup. So it’s a tough one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
