Europa League Quarter-Final: 2nd Leg Betting Tips
With coveted places in the semi-finals in touching distance, all eyes will be on the four Europa League quarter-final 2nd leg clashes taking place across the continent on Thursday.
Tip 1 – Lazio to go through @ 6/4
Lazio vs Bodo/Glimt
Lazio trail Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt 2-0 heading into the 2nd leg at the Stadio Olimpico but all is not lost for I Biancocelesti.
Many teams have been bested by Glimt on the artificial surface at Aspmyra Stadion in recent years, but Thursday’s return leg on Italian soil should be a very different contest.
Lazio are unbeaten in their last 13 home games in the Europa League and Marco Baroni’s side look capable of overturning the two-goal deficit to reach the semi-finals.
Tip 2 – Lyon to go through @ 9/4
Manchester United vs Lyon
The Europa League has been a welcome distraction for Manchester United this season amid their results in the Premier League that have left them down in 14th place in the standings.
A 4-1 defeat in their last outing at Newcastle United further highlighted the Red Devils' defensive frailties on what was a tough afternoon for Altay Bayındır in goal.
Brought in for the out-of-form Andre Onana, Bayındır handed Newcastle their fourth goal of the game and now manager Ruben Amorim has a decision to make on who starts between the sticks.
Meanwhile, Lyon have lost just one of their last nine games in all competitions, while they have won four of their last five games on the road.
This tie is poised at 2-2 after the first leg at Groupama Stadium and Lyon look like they can get a result at Old Trafford to take them through to the semi-finals.
Tip 3 – Eintracht Frankfurt to win in 90 mins @ 5/4
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Tottenham Hotspur
Much like Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur have also found relief in the Europa League this season amid troubles in the Premier League.
However, Spurs’ European journey might also come to an end on Thursday with a defeat at Deutsche Bank Park against Eintracht Frankfurt.
The tie is all-square at 1-1 after the first leg in north London, but Spurs are likely to struggle at the home of the 2021/22 Europa League champions Frankfurt.
Die Adler are unbeaten in their last 12 Europa League home games and won all of the last four of those games to nil.
Spurs, who suffered a 4-2 defeat at Wolves at the weekend, might not have the firepower to get past Frankfurt on Thursday and it could be the end of the line for Ange Postecoglou’s side in Europe.
Tip 4 – Athletic Bilbao to win and both teams to score @ 19/10
Athletic Bilbao vs Rangers
It could be a tough night for all three British teams remaining in the competition, with Rangers making the trip to Athletic Bilbao after a goalless draw in the first leg at Ibrox.
Bilbao are formidable opponents on their own patch, going unbeaten in their last eight games in all competitions at San Mames Barria.
Rangers might have their moments in this game, with Athletic having kept just one clean sheet in their last five home games, but the hosts should have enough to end Gers’ hopes of a return to the Europa League final.
