Tonight, the final match day of the Europa League group stage will take place with 18 games playing at once. This should be another thrilling night of European football with high stakes on the line for the large majority of teams in the competition. I have chosen three picks to go in an acca at 2.34.
Pick 1
First we have Ajax vs Galatasaray, potentially the most exciting game of the night. Ajax currently sit in 16th and if they avoid defeat they will secure a chance to make it to the knockouts through the play-offs.
Galatasaray are the top scorers in this season’s competition with 18 goals with Ajax are not far behind them with 14 goals. However they have conceded an average of one goal per game. Galatasaray are 9th in the table just one spot outside of the automatic knockout stages, with a win away to Ajax they would have a strong chance of reaching the top 8.
Galatasaray have great attacking options with Yunus Akgun scoring five times and sits 4th in the top scoring charts. Of course, we have to mention Victor Osimhen who has had a goal or assist in his last 4 away Super Lig starts. Ajax’s Davy Klaassen has five goal involvements this Europa League campaign and will also be a threat.
All of Galatasaray’s games have all ended with over 2.5 goals except one game which was away to AZ. Four out of the Seven Ajax games have ended with over 2.5 goals. My first pick for this Acca is Over 2.5 Goals at 1.40.
Pick 2
My second pick is also Over 2.5 Goals. Tottenham currently sit 6th in the Europa League table with 14 points. They need a win to an secure automatic place to the knockouts. Tottenham have scored an average of two goals per game and will look like scoring more on Thursday against an Elfsborg side who have conceded 11 goals in seven games.
Elfsborg are in the play off places in 20th but their -2 goal difference could be the ultimate reason they exit the competition if they lose against Tottenham. They would need three points to guarantee a place in the play-offs but a point could do the job with only three teams in the relegation zone able to overtake them if they win their respective matches.
Tottenham have been involved in five games where there has been over 2.5 goals. Elfsborg’s number 10, Michael Baidoo has scored six goals this campaign including their play offs games to get them into the competition, he will hope to get a goal for them on Thursday especially with Tottenham’s injury crisis all over the park. Spurs have also conceded three goals on three occasions this competition. The odds for this Over 2.5 Goals pick is 1.36.
Pick 3
Lyon currently sit in a healthy position being in 5th place, however they could sink into the play-off places if they don’t win tonight’s match. Lyon have won 66% of their home games this competition, being at home against Ludogorets the Lyon fans will want to push them over the line.
Ludogorets sit in a poor 33rd place out of 36 teams. They have no wins from their seven UEL matches and have only picked up three points all from draws. They will try and restore some respect by getting something out of their last game with chances of reaching the play-offs already out of sight. With only three goals scored and 10 conceded it will be a tough game on paper for Ludogorets to win especially away from home. This pick is Lyon to Win the Match at 1.22.
So there we have it, three picks that accumulate to 2.34 odds. We are in for another huge night so make sure you don’t miss out!
