Best Europa League Price Boosts and specials

AC Milan, Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Villarreal to score 2 or more goals each

Odds: 6/1

Italian giants AC Milan, Spanish dark horses Villarreal and Premier League duo Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur are all among the favourites to win the Europa League this season, and the quartet of tournament front runners all have winnable looking group matches this evening.

In Thursday’s early kick-offs, AC Milan host Sparta Prague, Leicester travel to Greece to play AEK Athens and Spurs make the short hop to Belgium to face Antwerp, while Villarreal make the trek to Azerbaijan to lock horns with Qarabag.

All four teams are expected to pick up maximum points, and if they score two goals each along the way, Virgin Bet will pay out at tasty looking 6/1 odds.

Arsenal, Benfica, Rangers and Roma to lead at half time

Odds: 6/1

With winnable home games against Dundalk, Standard Liege, Lech Poznan and CSKA Sofia respectively this evening, Arsenal, Benfica, Rangers and Roma have all been tipped to gather three points in our Europa League predictions this week, and you can piggyback on their success with Virgin Bet’s superb offer.

You can grab 6/1 odds on all four teams leading their fixtures at half time, and with points and goals on offer for each, this looks a price worth considering.

Arsenal should enjoy a comfortable evening’s work against Dundalk, while Benfica look a class above Belgian outfit Standard Liege. In-form Rangers have momentum to burn against Lech Poznan in Glasgow, while Italian bit-hitters Roma should do the business against CSKA from Bulgaria.

AEK Athens vs Leicester City

Both Teams to Score, 2+ cards each & 5+ corners each

Odds: 11/1

Leicester City’s Premier League class sets them up for what should be a successful jaunt in Greece this evening, though the Foxes’ return of just two clean sheets from seven matches suggests the hosts should have chances to notch a consolation effort in Athens.

In the disciplinary stakes, AEK had three players booked in their first UEL group game at Braga last week, and while Leicester picked up just one caution in their first Europa League outing, their 2.6 cards per game average in England’s top-flight highlights the bite that the Foxes have developed this term.

Both clubs won at least five corners (Leicester six vs Zorya, AEK five vs Braga) in their opening Europa League tests however, and we think they are worth backing to match that output in Greece.

Antwerp vs Tottenham Hotspur

Gareth Bale & Lucas Moura 2+ shots on target each

Odds: 15/2

Even with their pack slightly shuffled, Spurs looked a vastly superior outfit than LASK last week, and Tottenham already look among the Europa League’s strongest teams. Jose Mourinho’s men are on the road this evening in Belgium, in what looks another fixture they should dominate.

Keen to impress and win a place in the team for Spurs’ next Premier League fixture, Gareth Bale and Lucas Moura – who both started against LASK – are players worth keeping an eye on in Antwerp.

Brazilian winger Moura found the net in Tottenham’s first group match a week ago, while Bale is still desperately trying to make a splash to mark his homecoming.

With chances likely to be plentiful at the Bosuilstadion, both Moura and Bale are worth backing to sting keeper Jean Butez’s palms on multiple occasions.
