Thursday Europa League Accumulator Betting Tip | That's a Goal

Thursday Europa League Accumulator Betting Tip: "An action packed week of football continues on Thursday with the Europa League. We have a five-fold from the competition for you with odds of just under 12/1."

Accumulator Betting Tip:

Genk to beat Thun 4/5:

The team 5th in the Belgian League take on the team 7th in Swiss in this one. Genk opened their campaign with a great win over Dynamo Kiev and are unbeaten in nine matches in all competitions. At home Genk have been fantastic, winning six of their seven matches. Thun also got the group stage of off to a perfect start with a win over Vienna. Thun are now without a win in their last three matches and have won just one of the last five on the road and lost their last match in the Europa League to Partizan when away. With Genk in better form and playing in a higher caliber league, they should beat their weaker opponents.

AZ Alkmaar to beat PAOK 6/5:

AZ are currently on their best run of the season to date with four wins in their last five matches in all competitions. They have also lost just once at home so far this season and are building momentum. PAOK aren’t in bad form either with four wins in their last eight. However on the road they have just one win in their last five. AZ play in a higher quality league and have a better team than PAOK and consequently, at home I expect them to run out winners.

Lyon to beat Guimaraes 4/7:

Next up are French giants Lyon as they take on Portuguese side Guimaraes. It hasn’t been Lyon’s best start to a season and they sit 9th in France. The issue has been too many draws with three draws in their last five. They are unbeaten in their last three at home but have won just one of them matches. Guimaraes are also in mid table sitting 10th in Portugal. However they have won just two of their last six in all competitions and won just once away from home all season. Lyon may not have made the best start but neither have their Portuguese opponents and with European pedigree and some half decent home form, Lyon should come out on top.

Legia Warsaw to beat Apollon Limassol 4/9:

Polish league leaders Warsaw host the Cypriots Limassol in what should be a routine win. Legia are in great form winning five of their last six in all competitions. They have won seven of their last ten at home with just one defeat in that time. Limassol aren’t in the best form, with three defeats in their last seven in all competitions. They have lost both their away games so far this season and playing in a very weak league in Cyprus means this team really are poor. Poland is no great standard but it is certainly much better than that in Cyrpus so Legia should prevail here.

Swansea to beat St Gallen 4/9:

Finally Swansea City. Swansea got their Europa League campaign off to a great start with a 3-0 win over Valencia in game one. They aren’t in the best league form with two wins in their last five but they have been fantastic in Europe. They have won both of their home games comfortably and have lost just once. Gallen play in Switzerland and are unbeaten this season. However, compared to Swansea’s quality they have very little to trouble the Swans.

Thursday Both Teams to Score Betting Tips By Alex Peace

Thursday Both Teams to Score Betting Tips: "With such a wide range of teams battling it out in the Europa League, there always seems to be goals. This Both Teams to Score Betting Tip give odds of just over 10/1. "

Both Teams to Score Betting Tip:

Kuban v Valencia 17/20;

Starting with a 5PM game from Russia as Kuban face Valencia. Both of these teams have been leaking goals for fun this season and that is why they are here. Kuban have kept just one clean sheet in their last eight matches while Valencia have kept just two in their last seven. However at home this season four of Kuban’s seven matches have seen both sides score while two of Valencia’s three away games have seen the same result. Both these sides struggle to keep clean sheets as we saw when Valencia took on Swansea. With this in mind both of them should have no problem scoring past the other.

Sevilla v Freiburg 20/21:

Sticking with Spanish sides and this time Sevilla. Eight of Sevilla’s ten matches this season have seen both teams score. Nineteen goals have gone in in their last five matches and at home this season four of their five matches have seen both teams score. Eight of Freiburg’s nine games this season have seen both sides net with them conceding in every match, only not scoring against Dortmund at the weekend. They have scored and leaked goals for fun with eighteen in their four away Bundesliga matches. With two sides scoring and conceding for fun, this game is hard to ignore.

Dnipro v Fiorentina 4/5:

To the Ukraine now and a Dnipro side who have scored in 21 consecutive matches going back to last season. Six of Fiorentina’s last nine matches have seen both teams score and away from home three of their four games have seen both teams score. Both of these score goals and Fiorentina should be good enough to get past Dnipro so I fancy this one to see both sides score.

Esbjerg v Red Bull Salzburg 4/7:

Esjberg matches have seen both teams score in six consecutive matches with twenty four goals flying in in the process. At home both teams have scored in seven of their last eight matches. Both teams have scored in Salzburg’s last three matches and five of their last seven on the road. With Esjberg leaking goals so badly, it only makes sense that both teams should score here while both are hitting the back of the net.

Tottenham v Anzhi Prediction and Betting Tips Tonight By Leigh Montague

Tottenham v Anzhi Prediction and Betting Tips Tonight: "Tottenham are in for a comfortable night in Russia against struggling Anzhi Makhachkala and we have some must see free football betting tips for te Europa League match tonight."

Anzhi may have caused problems for English teams last season, but things will be different this time around after their oil money ran dry and every decent player was sold.

Samuel Eto’o, Yuri Zhirkov and Moubarak Boussoufa are among the mass exodus of talent; and the results have unsurprisingly been disastrous. They sit bottom of the Russian Premier League and are yet to win a game all season.

In contrast, Spurs are on the way up. For the first time in a long time they are being touted as title contenders, and they have a squad big enough to challenge on all fronts.

A 3-0 win against Tromso in their Europa League opener and a 4-0 away win against Aston Villa in the Capital One Cup demonstrated how strong their reserve team is.

Jermaine Defoe scored four of the seven goals and he will hope to continue his form in front of goal in the hope he can budge Roberto Soldado from the chief striker position.

I am expecting a very comfortable night for Defoe and co and the -1 handicap looks a good bet at 13/10.

Thirty million pound signing Erik Lamela is a massive 14/1 to be the highest rated player. The Argentine is a terrific talent and will have to impress to stand a chance of being selected for Premier League matches.

It is worth covering Defoe at 7/1 as he has the potential to score a few goals, which would make him very hard to beat.

I also like Defoe to have the most shots at 7/1. Against CSKA Moscow last week Anzhi had 11 less shots than their opponent, and I expect Tottenham to repeat this feat, with Defoe at the forefront.

Anzhi v Tottenham Betting Tips

Tottenham -1 13/10

Player with the most shots- Jermaine Defoe 7/1

Highest rated player- Erik Lamela 14/1

Swansea vs St Gallen betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League By Neuro

Swansea vs St Gallen betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League: "Swansea started their Europa League campaign with a surprising victory in Valencia as they won with the score of 3:0, although most of the people didn’t give them much chances of staying undefeated in the Europa League opener. However, exclusion of Valencia’s player Ramy in tenth minute determined the rest of the match as Wilfried scored the winning goal in fifteenth minute, while de Guzman and Michu added two more goals in the second half-time."

It was a unexpected victory for them and surely have boosted their morale in front of next tough matches, as the team continued later on with a 2:0 victory away to Crystal Palace. However, they were defeated in a Capital One Cup match against Birmingham on the road later on with the score of 3:1, as coach Laudrup rotated his squad a little. Finally, they are coming from a 1:2 defeat at home against in-form Arsenal last weekend, while their target remains winning this game and making a decisive step towards the qualification to the next phase. Defender Williams continued to be out as he picked up an injury in a match against Liverpool and played only once since then (against Crystal Palace). Hernandez and Monk continues to be out too, while Angel Rangel is doubtful for tonight’s game.

St Gallen, on the other side, is also coming from a surprising victory in the first round of Europa League as they managed to win over Kuban 2:0 at home in the competition opener in a much easier manner than anyone could have predicted. No doubt that their good start increased their target as the team would like to progress to the next stage and will look to stay undefeated while visiting Swansea.

It has to be said that they are in a very good form at the moment, being without defeat in last twelve official matches as the team currently stands at fourth position in the domestic league with a 4-3-2 record and are four points below first placed Basel. They are coming from a 1:0 narrow victory on the road against Grasshoppers in one of the most interesting matches of the round, as they were also a bit lucky not to concede during the game. Visitors are coming without couple of players who didn’t even perform this season, while they will be also without attackers Cavusevic and Lehmann who are also already longer term injured.

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Swansea’s last three games in UEFA Europa League.
Even if coach Laudrup chooses to rest a few players, Swansea still has great quality in comparison to their visitors and it will be really big surprise if the Swiss side manages to stay undefeated once again. English side should prevail in a similar fashion to their first round game.

Bet: Swansea -1 Asian handicap

Elfsborg vs Standard betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League By Neuro

Elfsborg vs Standard betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League: "Elfsborg was quite tragic in their Europa League opening game away from home against Salzburg, as the Austrians got easy 4:0 victory. From the beginning of the game it was obvious that the hosts were far above their opponents and with two goals scored in each half-time they got the precious victory early in the competitions."

With this match, Austrian side showed that they are able to claim the qualification for the next phase, while Elfsborg will have to search for their better luck in remaining five matches. However, it’s obvious the team lacks quality to be very competitive in this competition and it won’t be so much of a surprise in case they end the competition with very few points. They have no real target in the domestic league, as the team is already far away from the European tickets and can use the rest of the matches to filter out their squad for the next season. They are coming from a 1:1 home draw against Helsingborg, match that completed their run to three games without a victory.

Defender Soderberg (18/3 in the domestic league) is out for this game, being very important absentee, while left midfielder Hult (15/1) is also sidelined with a injury. Finally, absent is also striker Keene (22/5).

Standard is coming into this game after a 5:0 morale boosting victory over Cercle Brugge away from home last weekend. It was their ninth consecutive victory, as the team continued to be first at the table with great seven points difference to second placed Club Brugge. However, great start in the season was spoiled with a first round of Europa League and the team will have to improve their performance in Europa in case they want to progress to the next stage.

They have suffered a 1:2 defeat in the first round against Danish side Esbjerg at home, but it must be said that they were better in that game, failing to convert chances into goals, while the visitors scored the second goal in fifth minute of injury time. Everyone in the club is completely straight saying that they have to get the victory over Elfsborg after the defeat against Esbjerg, adding that in case they fight like they did against Cercle, their victory will come along. Experienced striker de Camargo will stay out of this game, same as substitute central defender Ben Haim. This time Standard isn’t expected to experienced any change in the starting eleven as everyone takes the game very seriously.

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in eight of Standard Liege’s last nine games in Europa League.
With the form behind their back, Standard seems like completely other world for Elfsborg at this moment. Visitors are doing very well, will not try to rotate their squad a lot this time and look like strong favorites against out of form Elfsborg that already showed to less quality for this competition.

Bet: Standard -0.25 Asian handicap

Wigan vs Maribor betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League Neuro

Wigan vs Maribor betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League: "Wigan will play their second European match in the history of the club, first one at home, welcoming Slovenian side Maribor in the second round of the fourth group of Europa League. They got a goalless draw in the first round, playing away to Zulte Waregem in Belgium two weeks ago."

Last Saturday, Wigan lost away from home against Watford, with a goal eight minutes before the full time whistle. They have actually played well, having some chances to score, especially in the second half, while they had no much time to react once they have conceded a goal. With this defeat, they completed a run of five consecutive away matches without a victory, but what’s worse is that the run is also without a goal scored, while they suffered four defeats. However, much better performances are presented at their own ground, while the team still can’t be satisfied with their entrance in the new season, at least when speaking about the Championship.

Hosts continue playing with couple of players out the ones that didn’t play from the beginning of the season, but also without midfielder Maloney (5/3 in Championship) and striker Grant Holt (5/2). Doubtful is left back Crainey (7/0) with a neck problem.

Maribor suffered a heavy home defeat in their Europa League opener as the Russian side Rubin Kazan showed to be way more superior to them earning a 5:2 victory in Slovenia two weeks ago. The difference between two sides was evident as the visitors had the upper hand throughout the whole ninety minutes and got a fair victory.

Since that defeat, Maribor started showing weaknesses in the domestic league too, as they firstly lost to newly promoted Zavrc 1:0, but then only drew at home to Velenje 1:1 and finally, suffered another defeat last weekend going down to Koper 2:1 away from home. Still, the team managed to hold on the first position in the league with a 7-2-2 record, being tied with already mentioned Zavrc. The team isn’t playing the same football they did at the start of the season, as coach Ante Cacic got replaced by Ante Simundza few days ago. Visitors have no fresh injury worries or problems for this trip, as some of their players are back to the team in comparison to the Europa League premiere against Rubin.

Maribor have lost their last four matches in Europa League.
Maribor is nowhere near their old form from Summer and even if they were, it’s hard to see them walking away with something here. Their real quality was seen in a game against Rubin and hardly the new coach will be able to change anything so quickly.

Bet: Wigan -1 Asian handicap

Kuban vs Valencia betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League By DamirJ

Kuban vs Valencia betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League: "Kuban was defeated in the first round of Europa League from St Gallen away from home in a clear and fair manner. They were limited to a passive role, couldn’t threaten the opponent and stood without a reply once they conceded goals leaving the stadium with bowed heads."

Not only their start in the Europa League was poor, but Kuban is in complete downtrend in recent weeks. They are currently at eleventh position with just one victory in last five matches, while they aren’t playing charming football, although the club has a quality roster while the coach Munteanu doesn’t feel that safe at the bench anymore. Management of Kuban supports him, but is also waiting positive results from the roster. They will be weakened as one of the most important players, ex midfielder of Marseille, Charles Kabore is suspended following his red card in the first round of Europa League against St Gallen. Winger Rabiu is still injured, while their lineup is expected to be changes comparing to previous matches.

Valencia, on the other side, didn’t show a great performance in the previous match they played, showed little and threatened also little, however still managed to overpower Rayo Vallecano at home with the narrow 1:0 victory. Only goal was scored by Jonas in 37th minute, while they could feel lucky to have played the game against one of the poorest sides in Primera.

With this result, team of Miroslav Djukic, completed the run of three consecutive victories in Spanish league and have climbed up to the top six in the standings. After a poor start, it seems that the team is on a right path now and getting victories even when not playing completely satisfying. They have started the Europa League with a 0:3 defeat at home against Swansea, in a game they were left with a ten men from tenth minute. In case the Spanish side wants progress to the next stage, they have to get the victory here and that’s what their target will be. Defender Rami is suspended for this game being sent-off in the previous match, while the visitors will also be without goalkeeper Diego Alves who got injured in the previous game against Rayo. Helder Postiga is doubtful and will probably no recover in time to play in Russia.

Valencia have lost their last 3 matches in Europa League.
It seems that Valencia has finally started getting victories and are back on the right path and surely should be set at least a slight favorite here. Draw can’t be excluded, but the Spanish side should be much closer to get the victory during the game.

Bet: Valencia (0) Asian handicap

Genk vs Thun betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League By Gustav

Genk vs Thun betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League: "Genk is coming from a moderate performance last weekend as they defeated Mechelen with the score of 1:0 at home. Only goal was scored in 50th minute with a ex player of Mechelen, midfielder Gorius. Despite the fact that they have won, coach wasn’t satisfied with the performance, saying that they have encountered several problems in offensive part of the game."

Still, that victory saw them extending the run of undefeated matches to nine, as they have experienced only two draws, playing equally good on the road too. In the first round of Europa League, they made a surprise winning over Dynamo Kiev 1:0 in Ukraine. Once again midfielder Gorius scored the winning goal, as the Belgium side made one of the biggest surprise in the first round. Now, after a victory in Kiev, their target’s got bigger as the team understands that they can get the qualification to the next phase in case they don’t underestimate Thun tonight. In case of a victory, they will be much closer to the progress in a next phase.

Striker Mboyo (7/4) and defensive midfielder Hyland (9/0) are unavailable due to injuries, while the team continues with a 4-4-2 formation and attack being logically lead by Vossen, Ojo and De Cuelaer.

Thun also managed to get the victory in the first round over Rapid from Austria with the result of 1:0 at home, in the first mutual match in history of the two clubs. The game itself wasn’t very interesting, but Thun still managed to make better opportunities and most important, scored the goal as they looked like being closer to get the victory through the ninety minutes.

However, the team has no victory since then, as they lost to Grasshoppers and Basel in next two matches in domestic league, while they got the draw in the last weekend’s game against Luzern 1:1 on the road. Even in the previous match played, they were lucky to equalize against Luzern, as it was individual action of their striker Martinez. Major problem for their coach Fischer is that the team lacks of credible substitutions and that the team will have to being with the same starting lineup like in previous matches, getting already enough fatigue. Central defenders Schindelholz and Schenkel are out, same as left back Schirinzi and defensive midfielder Battig.

Genk is undefeated in last nine official matches.
Thun have won six of their last seven matches in Europa League.
Genk have won their last three matches in Europa League.
Genk is much more of a team that Thun will be this season and in front of their own fans, they should get a easy victory over a Swiss team. Visitors don’t have such a rich roster to compete in Europe and will hardly stay competitive in a game against offensive Genk.

Bet: Genk Wins

AZ Alkmaar vs PAOK betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League By Isaiah

AZ Alkmaar vs PAOK betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League: "AZ Alkmaar didn’t give a good performance in the first round of Europa League, as they visited Maccabi Haifa, but still managed to overpower Israeli side with a 1:0 result. Only goal came in 71st minute by Gudmundsson as neither of two sides trying too much and didn’t show much of  a creativity during whole ninety minutes."

Right after that victory, they lost in the domestic league to NAC Breda 3:0 away from home, however improved their morale with a 4:1 victory in a Cup game over Sparta Rotterdam in a Cup game seven days ago, however they needed extra-time to overpower the opponent and net three more goals. Finally, real, great face from the team was shown in last weekend’s victory over PSV at home in one of the most interesting games of the round. They celebrated 2:1 victory with goals from Viergever and Johnasson making a huge surprise, while the team currently stands eight at the table with thirteen points earned, only two less than leading trio Twente, Heerenveen and PSV. However, only one day after winning over PSV, coach Verbeek got sacked and Dennis Haar was installed for a new technician.

Hosts continued without central defender Wuytens (7/0) and left back Gorter (1/0), while recent acquisition striker Babalj is also out injured.

PAOK, on the other side, needed last minutes of the game in order to overpower the group outsider from Khazakhstan, Shakhtar Karagandy with the 2:1 score at home. Visitors took the lead from a non-existent penalty early in the second half, but the Greek side still managed to pull out a victory without playing much more fluently in attack.

Athanasiadis brought back them into the match with a equalizer fifteen minutes before the full time whistle, while the Greeks took full advantage of visitors staying with a man down. Seven minutes after getting into the game, substitute attacking midfielder Vukic made 2:1, two minutes into the injury time. After the victory in the first round, they are already much closer to the next phase of Europa League which remains the target for the Greek side. PAOK is coming from a 1:1 setback away to OFI, as the team currently has three points less than first placed Olympiakos. No important and fresh injury worries for visitors.

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in PAOK Thessaloniki last four games in Europa League.
Open game is expected from both sides, as AZ prefers attacking style at home, while PAOK should surely be very dangerous on the counter attacks and both teams to score at least a goal should be the safest choice in this match.

Bet: Both teams to score
