5 Europa League Tips to Watch for Matchday 5 - Bet £5 and Get £20 this Europa League week!

Approaching this fixture in the Europa League, Tottenham Hotspur look like an unstoppable force as they add to their unbeaten streak of six games in all competitions. The last defeat that was suffered by Jose Mourinho’s men, was in the Europa League against Royal Antwerp who sits above them in the table. A win in this fixture would see the Spurs side qualify for the round of 16 with LASK Linz missing out on a spot.

Dominik Thalhammer’s men will come into this fixture knowing that this match will be an uphill battle. In the Austrian side’s last five games, they have won three times and lost once, which was to the Great Old in the Europa League. They currently sit three points behind Spurs on a goal difference of -3.

Lucas Moura has not received as much game time recently in the Premier League where he has featured as a substitute for the previous four matches. However, in the Europa League, the Brazilian has been a key player in the Spurs side as he netted in three of his last four matches. With Moura eager to get his position back in the Premier League, scoring again in this fixture could help his chances.

As of now, odds for Moura to score and Spurs to win is priced at 13/5.

Coming into this Europa League match, Villarreal looks like the strong favourites as they sit atop of Group I on 10 points after four games. The Spanish side is unbeaten in their last 13 games in all competitions which includes fixtures against Real Madrid and Real Sociedad. A win against Sivasspor this week would ensure them of a Europa League spot in the next round.

Sivasspor looks to be in difficult form heading into this one, as they have drawn two and lost one in their last five fixtures with two wins against Qarabag FK in the Europa League. The Turkish side will not be very confident approaching this match as they lost the previous tie 5-3 away from home.

Villarreal should win this tie and qualify due to their difference in quality but also down to their incredible form this season. Although, worryingly for the Yellow Submarines, their last three matches have all ended in draws which could be put down to the absence of Paco Alcacer. For Sivasspor, in all of their last six fixtures, they have netted at least once and they look capable of adding to that again.

Currently, odds for Villarreal to win and both teams to score is priced at 9/4.

Leicester City comes into this fixture as the only side that has guaranteed a next round spot in the Europa League, with other clubs waiting on this week’s fixtures to earn their place. The Foxes look in great form heading into this match as they are unbeaten in Europe and have won three of their last five matches ahead of the tie against Fulham. In the previous fixture against Zorya, Brendan Rodgers’ men won 3-0 and could be set for another three points.

The Ukrainian side are bottom of Group G on three points after winning their last Europa League match against AEK Athens by a scoreline of 0-3. Unfortunately for Zorya, this positive turn looks a little too late as Braga are almost guaranteed to take up the second spot in the group as they only need a win.

Depending on how the Leicester side line-up, could dictate how the result goes, as this could be a match in which Rodgers chooses to rest many of his crucial players, as the Premier League season approaches it’s most intense stage. However, more than likely, the Foxes will still aim to win every fixture in the Europa League and earn the top-seeded spot.

As of now, odds for Leicester City to win and under 3.5 goals in the match is priced at 6/4.

Coming into this fixture, Arsenal have been in wavering form. In the Europa League, the Gunners are unbeaten and have won all four of their matches as well as only conceding twice. In the Premier League, this has been a different scenario as they sit 14th in the league and have not won in three matches. Knowing that a win against Rapid Wien would secure the top-seeded spot should be enough motivation for Mikel Arteta to go and win this one.

Dietmar Kuhbauer’s men come into this fixture with two wins and two draws in their last five matches with both wins coming in the Europa League. In Group B, the Austrian side are third behind Molde who play bottom of the group Dundalk. Rapid Wien will want to win here to keep the pressure on the Norwegian club.

Many of the Arsenal players have been inconsistent in all matches, which has especially cause problems in the Premier League. Against a tough opponent, it is unsure which of Arteta’s men will step up, however, with a goal in each of his last three fixtures in the Europa League, Nicolas Pepe could be the man.

Currently, Arsenal odds for Nicolas Pepe to score and Arsenal to win is priced at 5/2.

Heading into this fixture against Nice, Bayer Leverkusen are in incredible form with an unbeaten run of six games in all competitions with five wins occurring. This sits them in second place in Group C, level on points with Slavia Prague and six points clear of the French side. In the German Bundesliga, Peter Bosz’s men are third in the league and are three points off Bayern Munich.

As they approach this fixture, Nice look in poor form with four consecutive defeats with two occurring in the Europa League. With a win needed from Patrick Vieira’s men to stay in the European competition, the French team will need to end this poor run immediately.

Bayer Leverkusen looks like the much stronger side, which was shown in their previous meeting against Nice, where they won 6-2. In three of Bosz’s and Vieira’s last five matches, over 3.5 goals have been achieved and with the previous meeting also being over 3.5, this fixture could have the potential for another goal-fest.

As of now, odds for Bayer Leverkusen to win and over 3.5 goals in a match is priced at 11/4.
