*All odds are subject to change<\/b><\/p>\n

Feyenoord vs Aston Villa: Anytime goalscorer – Ollie Watkins @ 2.60<\/b><\/h2>\n

After missing a penalty in last week\u2019s 1-0 win over Bologna, Watkins finally got off the mark this season for Villa in the 3-1 win vs Fulham on the weekend. The striker netted a crucial equaliser for Unai Emery\u2019s side, and the well-taken goal could very well prove to be a turning point for him and the rest of the team. Of course, a trip to play Eredivisie table-toppers Feyenoord is never easy, though the Dutch side did suffer a 1-0 loss to Braga on Matchday 1. So we are backing a revitalised Watkins to strike in Rotterdam tomorrow evening, and silence any of his remaining doubters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Celtic vs Braga: Draw @ 3.56<\/b><\/h2>\n

As mentioned above, Braga picked up a big win over Feyenoord last time out, while Celtic drew 1-1 at Serbian side Crvena zvezda. The Bhoys could also only manage a 0-0 home draw vs Hibernian at the weekend, failing to capitalise on their overwhelming dominance. Now sitting second in the Scottish Premiership, Brendan Rodgers\u2019 side need a response against Braga, who are winless in four league matches – two of them being draws. However, the Portuguese outfit seem to save their best for Europe, having beat Lincoln Red Imps 9-1 on aggregate in the Europa League play-offs. As such, a point apiece looks a likely outcome under the lights in Glasgow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest vs FC Midtjylland: Player to score or assist – Morgan Gibbs-White @ 1.80<\/b><\/h2>\n

Forest are yet to win a match under the leadership of Ange Postecoglou, and another failure tomorrow at the City Ground would be absolutely disastrous. With that in mind, as well as last Saturday\u2019s 1-0 loss to Sunderland, we expect Forest to come flying out the traps in search of a positive result. The big players need to stand tall, namely midfield maestro Gibbs-White, who only featured from the bench against Sunderland. But the Englishman did record an assist in the 2-2 draw with Real Betis on Matchday 1, and it would be a shock not to see him start against Midtjylland. When Gibbs-White plays well, Forest usually play well as a whole, so we believe he will play a vital role in a victory for the home side.<\/span><\/p>\n

AS Roma to beat Lille @ 1.69<\/b><\/h2>\n

Roma are one of Europe\u2019s form teams in 2025-26 so far, winning five out of six matches across all competitions. Gian Piero Gasperini\u2019s side beat Nice 2-1 away from home last week and followed that up with a 2-0 victory over Verona in Serie A. Lille also picked up three points on Matchday 1 thanks to a 2-1 win over Brann, but that result was sandwiched in between two Ligue 1 defeats to Lens and Lyon. Roma are usually very strong at home too, so this selection could be a great way to boost the odds in a combo bet.<\/span><\/p>\n
