Mitdjylland are top of the Europa standings after wins in their opening three games against Sturm Graz, Nottingham Forest and Maccabi Tel Aviv, and the Danish outfit can add Celtic to their list of European victims.

Maccabi Tel Aviv have scored just once in their last four European matches and it looks unlikely they will break through against Aston Villa, who have won their last four home matches.

Rangers have lost all three of their Europa League games so far this season and Roma are the best side they will have faced so far in this competition. The Gers have won just two of their last seven games at Ibrox and look set to fall short against strong travellers Roma, who have won five of their six trips across all competitions.

Goals look likely in this one and successful strikes are likely at both ends, but take Forest to come out on top against Sturm Graz, who have lost their last three matches.

AZ have only failed to score in one of their 20 games across all competitions this season and they head to London in form with five straight wins. The visitors look capable of getting on the scoresheet but Crystal Palace have managed back-to-back wins ahead of this European clash and it is hard to see them drawing a blank on home soil.

AEK Larnaca have won both of their league phase games without conceding and have four clean sheets in their last eight games overall. The Cypriot side can win to nil against Aberdeen, who have four defeats in their last six trips and have failed to score in all of those losses.

Reading have drawn five of their last nine matches in all competitions and four of these have ended 1-1, while Stevenage played out a 1-1 draw in their last League One outing and both meetings between this pair last season ended 1-1.

Rangers have scored just one goal in three games in the Europa League and will struggle to break Roma’s mean defence down. The Giallorossi have three clean sheets in six away games across all competitions, and all five of their road wins have come via one-goal margins so a 1-0 Roma win has a chance.
