This week’s UEFA Europa League action spans Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Nevertheless, although the fixtures are not happening all at once, the value is still the same as ever for punters looking for a winning multi.
We are tipping Lazio and PSV for magical midweek nights. You can bet on these tips separately or all in one go in a multi-bet at increased odds.
20 October: Spartak Moscow v Leicester City
Both of these teams have been fairly erratic this season but have impressed recently. The Foxes beat Manchester United 4-2 to get back to winning ways in the Premier League, but still sit 11th in the table ahead of Arsenal’s Monday night clash with Crystal Palace.
Spartak Moscow has won three and drawn one of their last four fixtures in all competitions, including a 3-2 away upset of Napoli in their last Europa League game.
Both teams are unpredictable, but their matches have tended to see plenty of goals in recent weeks. Leicester has seen four or more goals in their last two matches and Spartak in two of their last three. There is value in the over 2.5 goals market for this match.
21 October: Lazio v Marseille
Lazio heads into Thursday’s clash with Marseille at the Stadio Olimpico off the back of a heroic 3-1 win over Inter Milan at the same venue. Marseille have been in decent form in France but their last away game was a 2-0 defeat to Lille and they drew their two previous matches on the road to Lokomotiv Moscow and Angers.
Marseille’s poor away record is cause for concern against Maurizio Sarri’s side. Of course, he knows what it takes to succeed in this competition, having won it with Chelsea.
Lazio is tipped for a fourth straight win in a row on home soil. At the time of writing, this bet is paying just short of even money.
21 October: PSV v Monaco
PSV has had ups and downs this season, but on home soil, they are a formidable outfit. Their last 10 home matches in all competitions have yielded seven wins, two draws, and a solitary defeat.
Monaco, meanwhile, heads into this game off the back of a 2-0 away defeat to Lyon, while PSV has three wins in a row behind them.
After a mixed start to the season, the Dutch giants are tipped to continue their resurgence on their turf.
21 October: Real Betis v Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen was on a fine run of form before they suffered a 5-1 humiliation at the hands of fierce rivals Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Real Betis picked up three wins in a row before losing 2-0 to Villarreal. At the time of writing, they have yet to play Alaves on Monday night.
Bayer Leverkusen is marginally the better side on paper, but since Betis is on home soil, this match is predicted to finish all square.
