Casemiro to score for Manchester United vs Lyon @ 7.70
We start with one of our boldest Europa League tips of the season. A defensive midfielder to score? Yes, it does initially sound bonkers. But Casemiro has been in excellent form of late, starring in the 0-0 draw with Manchester City on the weekend. And the Brazilian destroyer is renowned as a huge threat in the air, with Lyon also a team famed for being defensively weak from set-pieces. Bruno Fernandes’ expert delivery from dead-ball situations should present Casemiro with a scoring chance or two in France.
Tottenham to beat Eintracht Frankfurt and both teams to score @ 2.96
Spurs’ season rests solely on their Europa League exploits after a dismal Premier League campaign. Ange Postecoglou’s role as manager is hanging by a thread and an aggregate defeat to Eintracht would surely spell the end of the Aussie’s tenure in North London. If the players need any more motivation, perhaps football is not for them. Eintracht’s 2-0 loss to Werder Bremen on the weekend was far from ideal preparation for the first leg and Spurs’ 3-1 win over Southampton should have given them some confidence. Expect the Premier League side to record a victory here but their seemingly never-ending defensive struggles mean we cannot see them keeping a first clean sheet since February 16.
Nico Williams to score for Athletic Club vs Rangers @ 4.00
In La Liga this season, Euro 2024 winner Williams has not been a standout player in the scoring department, with only four goals in 26 matches. However, the electric winger has netted the same number of times in the Europa League from just 10 appearances. Williams appears to save his best for the European stage, evidenced by a tie-winning brace against Roma last time out. With Rangers on a club-record run of five consecutive home defeats, Athletic Club and Williams can put this tie to bed before next week’s second leg in Bilbao.
Bodo/Glimt vs Lazio: Draw @ 3.50
A very interesting tie kicks off tonight’s Europa League extravaganza. Bodo/Glimt are a formidable home team and are now back in top-flight action, racking up two wins to start the new Norwegian season, competitive minutes which should serve them well in this tie. But Lazio have dazzled at times on the European stage, finishing top of the new-look League Phase table and conceding only five goals in the process. Their previous away match in this competition saw them beat Viktoria Plzen 2-1, while Bodo/Glimt’s last home outing was a 3-0 victory over Olympiacos. No wonder we are backing the draw here, eh?
