Rangers have failed to score in four of their last six fixtures. They look lost in midfield and nervous in attack, which could be a problem against a Sturm side that are in good form again and beat both Girona and RB Leipzig 1-0 at home last season.

Aberdeen have already lost 2-0 four times this season and could succumb to the same fate again when they take on this Shakhtar Donetsk side.

Fifteen goals scored in seven league games shows the forward power that Feyenoord possess and eight wins in their last nine at home highlights the task that Aston Villa are faced with. However, Villa are much better than they have shown this term and have restored confidence with wins over Bologna and Fulham.

Forest drew 2-2 away to Betis in their opening Europa League game while FC Midtjylland won 2-0 at home to Sturm Graz. Forest should rebound from that tough assigment and earn a first win European of the campaign against much weaker opponents. FC Midtjylland have conceded at least two goals in four of their last seven European away trips and were only just good enough to knock Hibernian out in the second qualifying round.

Aberdeen have been in disastorous form recently, failing to score in six Scottish Premiership games and it is hard to see them finding things any easier against Shakhtar Donetsk, who are a very decent outfit. Aberdeen have lost five of their last ten games by at least two goals and could do so again.

Bradford City have won three games on the spin to take them to the top of the League One table, and they are justified favourites against a Rotherham side that have lost six of their last seven in all competitions, leaving them with a meagre seven points from nine fixtures.

Bratislava did not pick up a single point in the Champions League this season, and while they should cope better in the Conference League, Strasbourg are a tough prospect and should get the win. The hosts did score in six of their eight Champions League games, though, so may find the net in defeat.

Each of Basel’s last four competitive games have featured goals at both ends and Stuttgart have seen goals at both ends in six of their eight competitive matches this term.

The Danish side have some exciting forwards, though, so they could get a consolation in Nottingham.

Igor Jesus bagged a brace against Real Betis and also doubled up in the EFL Cup against Swansea. He is a highly-rated Brazilian international who has delivered goals for Botafogo in the Copa Libertadores and should probably be starting on Thursday whether he does or not.

Third-bottom Vitoria have lost four of their last five league games, while they host a Ceara side who have lost once across their previous six. The visitors have a 100% record against the bottom three this term, winning each of those meetings to nil.

Fortaleza have won their last two home games to nil, while Sao Paulo have lost four consecutive games without scoring. The hosts are second from bottom, but Sao Paulo have drawn all three of their meetings with the bottom two, while they’ve won only two of 12 away trips this term.

Leaders Flamengo have an impressive defensive record, but they’ve conceded seven fewer goals than their xG numbers would suggest. Third-placed Cruzeiro are unbeaten away to the top eight, scoring in each clash. The visitors won 2-1 when these two met earlier this term, while BTTS has landed in six of Flamengo’s last eight league games.

AS Roma have made a good start to the season, winning four of their five league games and already beaten French side Nice on this competition

Hacken have already beaten Anderlecht, Brann and Cluj this season and should have little issue in getting the better of Shelbourne, who are set to finish midtable in the League of Ireland and have lost two of their last three European home games.

Bratislava did not pick up a single point in the Champions League this season, and while they should cope better in the Conference League, Strasbourg is a tough opening match, and are just as good as some of the teams Bratislava lost to last season.

Bradford City have won three games on the spin to take them to the top of the League One table, and they are justified favourites against a Rotherham side that have lost six of their last seven in all competitions, leaving them with a meagre seven points from nine fixtures.

Five of Celtic’s last eight games have gone under 2.5 goals while Braga’s last four matches have featured a total of only five goals. Both sides inherit a strong defence but have looked wayward in attack, which points to a low-scoring affair.

Sparta Prague were playing Champions League football last season so should have too much quality for this Shamrock Rovers side. However the League of Ireland outfit could keep things tight so side with a home win and under 3.5 goals.
