Mega Accumulator Tip
Rayo demonstrated they are a level about Samsunspor with a 3-1 first leg win in Türkiye and they should be able to finish the tie off with a victory at home. Rayo have just one defeat in their last 14 at home across all comps and have a perfect record in Europe at the Campo de Futbol de Vallecas. The visitors can strike in defeat vas Rayo have conceded in 13 of their last 15 games and Samsunspor are in good form in front of goal with seven goals across their last four games.
Panathinaikos managed to claim a 1-0 advantage after an ill-tempered first leg that saw both sides reduced to 10 men but Betis can hit back at home. The Spanish side have just one defeat in their last nine at this venue, winning five, and are unbeaten at home in Europe (W3, D1). Betis have conceded in six consecutive home games and they kept just one clean sheet at the Estadio de La Cartuja in the league phase, so the visitors can strike in defeat in a tie that may require additional time.
AZ won the first leg 2-1 but Sparta can hit back and at least drag the tie into extra time at home. Sparta are on a five-game winning run at this venue and they came through the league phase unbeaten at home, while AZ have lost three of their four trips in the main draw of this competition.
Shakhtar won the first leg 3-1 and dominated Lech for large periods away from home. Lech will have to take some risks going forward and Shakhtar are dangerous on the counter, so the Ukrainian side should be able to finish this tie off with a victory.
Aston Villa have made a habit of grinding out results this season, winning 1-0 six times, and they can win without conceding against a Lille side who have looked seriously toothless going forwards in recent times.
Both Teams To Score Double Tip
Both teams have scored in five of Lyon’s last six games in all competitions and they face a Celta Vigo side that have seen goals at both ends in each of their last four assignments.
Genk edged the first leg 1-0 but we should see a bit more action in the return fixture in Germany. Both teams have scored in five of Freiburg’s last eight at home and they have scored in 17 of their last 18 at this venue, while Genk have seen goals at both ends in six of their last eight away games and they have scored in all of those.

Match Goals Accumulator Tip
Over 2.5 goals came up in the first leg, with Porto winning 2-1. The game was filled with plenty of chances for both teams, and this bet should come up again.
Both of their two meetings this season have ended with under 2.5 goals and with a place in the quarter finals up for grabs, this should be another close tie.
Under 2.5 goals has landed in 11 of Lille’s last 16 games and Aston Villa have failed to score more than one goal in their last nine outings so this could be another cagey affair, take under 2.5 goals in this Europa League second leg.
Strasbourg will look to protect their two one lead, and with a strong record at home, should do so in a controlled manner, limiting their opponents to few chances. Under 2.5 goals looks the value here.
Bet To Net Best Bet Tip
Morgan Rogers hasn’t been quite as prolific in Europe as he has in the Premier League, both in terms of goals scored and volume of shots, but that may change now we’ve entered the business end of the competition. Rogers had four shots in the first leg without scoring and should get a few chances again on Thursday, and he can add to his solitary Europa League strike for the season.

Morgan Rogers To Score Anytime
Morgan Rogers had four shots in the first leg without scoring and should get a few chances again on Thursday, and he can add to his solitary Europa League strike for the season.
John McGinn To Have 1+ Shots On Target
John McGinn has had 11 shots in total across his last nine appearances at Villa Park in the Premier League and has been fairly accurate, particularly in Europe with 60% of his shots recorded as on target. He can test the keeper.
Olivier Giroud To Have 2+ Shots On Target
Lille forward Olivier Giroud averages 1.5 shots per-game in this competition and exactly one per-game on target, while in Ligue 1 he averages 1.7 shots per-game. Giroud may only need two chances to record two attempts on target.
Hakon Haraldsson To Be Fouled 2+ Times
Villa found Hakon Haraldsson hard to keep tabs on at times in the first leg and the pacey Icelandic playmaker was on the receiving end of two fouls in that game. A repeat could be on the cards as the 22-year-old is fouled over once per-game on average in Ligue 1.
Win Accumulator Tip
Roma beat Bologna 1-0 earlier in the season and have won three of their last five at home. The tie is finely poised after a 1-1 first leg but Roma can make their home advantage count and secure a last eight spot inside 90 minutes.
Aston Villa have made a habit of grinding out results this season and they can overcome a Lille side who lost three of their four league phase away games.
Shakhtar won the first leg 3-1 and dominated Lech for large periods away from home. Lech will have to take some risks going forward and Shakhtar are dangerous on the counter, so the Ukrainian side should be able to finish this tie off with a victory.

Correct Score Double Tip
Porto’s home advantage could prove crucial, with the atmosphere at the Dragão often lifting them in big European nights. They should have enough experience and quality to see the tie out, but Stuttgart’s attacking threat means this is unlikely to be comfortable. Porto need just a draw to see themselves through to the next round, and they should be capable of that, holding Stuttgart to a 2-2 draw in front of their home crowd.
Aston Villa have made a habit of grinding out results this season, winning 1-0 six times, and they can repeat the trick against a Lille side who have looked seriously toothless going forwards in recent times.

Overnight Best Bet Tip

A-League Best Bet Tip
Adelaide head to Western Sydney as the underdogs but they look more than capable of picking up a win. United have won the last two head-to-head meetings and are on a five-game unbeaten run, while Wanderers sit rock bottom of the table and have just one win in their last seven (D3, L3).
Bournemouth vs Manchester United Bet Builder Tip
Matheus Cunha to score
Matheus Cunha found the net against Aston Villa last time out and scored in the reverse fixture in December. He has the ability to strike again, and punters can take advantage of Paddy Power’s Super Sub offer.
Benjamin Sesko has been brought on for Cunha in three of Manchester United’s last seven games, with the Slovenian finding the net off the bench in two of those fixtures.
Bruno Fernandes to assist
A dark cloud has been hanging over Old Trafford for a long time, but Bruno Fernandes has often been there to provide a much-needed silver lining, and the Portuguese playmaker has kicked on to new creative heights over the past few months.
His two assists against Aston Villa last time out took his tally to 17 for the season. 12 of these have come in his last 14 appearances, including one in the reverse fixture back in December.
Benjamin Sesko 1+ shot on target
Benjamin Sesko may not have nailed down a regular starting spot for Manchester United, but the 22-year-old is proving a menace whenever he does get on the pitch, scoring eight goals in his last ten appearances, despite only starting in four of those games.
He has registered 19 shots on target in this sequence and has tested the opposition goalkeeper at least once in eight of them.
Marcus Tavernier 2+ shots
Only Evanilson has had more shots on goal for Bournemouth this season than Marcus Tavernier, with the 26-year-old’s tally boosted by a massive 15 shots in his last four starts for the club.
He has registered at least two shots in each of these starts and had four attempts on goal in the reverse fixture, contributing a goal and an assist in that eight-goal thriller.
Luke Shaw to commit 1+ fouls
Luke Shaw has returned to left-back since Patrick Dorgu’s injury for Manchester United, and the 30-year-old defender has never been afraid to get stuck in.
He committed two fouls against Aston Villa last time out and has been reprimanded at least once in 20 of his last 21 appearances for the Red Devils.
Alex Scott to be fouled 2+ times
Alex Scott leads the Bournemouth charts for both fouls and fouls drawn this season and he was fouled four times against Burnley last time out.
The young midfielder has drawn two or more fouls in seven of his last nine appearances for the Cherries, being fouled a total of 20 times in this sequence.
