A scintillating Thursday night of Europa League football is on the horizon, but who will progress to the last four? Here is everything you need to know including betting tips and predictions.
Roma Vs Feyenoord
Feyenoord holds a slender 1-0 advantage going into this fixture and know there is still a lot to play for. It’s obvious that when teams approach the latter stages of any competition, the margin for error is minimal.
But who will advance when the final whistle is blown?
Roma’s first-leg defeat at the hands of Feyenoord was their first against the Dutch club. They had previously drawn each of their previous four home European matches against Dutch opponents, 1-1 on each occasion.
Feyenoord are currently winless in four away matches against Italian sides (D1 L3) since defeating Inter Milan in the UEFA Cup in April 2002.
Meanwhile, Roma have progressed from each of their last three major European knockout ties despite losing the first leg by one goal, including in this season’s Europa League play-offs against FC Red Bull Salzburg.
The Jose Mourinho-coached side has a record of 3 victories, and 2 losses in their last five games while Feyenoord have 4 victories.
Betting Tip: Roma or Feyenoord to win and both teams to score.
Sporting CP Vs Juventus
Following their first-leg 1-0 victory, Juventus will be eager to secure their qualification in the second leg tonight.
Sporting CP eliminated Arsenal and could add Juventus to the list if they can turn the deficit round. Having lost the first leg in Turin, they remained winless in three matches against Juventus in Europe (D1 L2).
The Lisbon side last defeated Italian opponents back in September 2011, beating Lazio in the UEFA Europa League.
Meanwhile, Juventus have lost their last two away matches against Portuguese opponents, both in the UEFA Champions League – against FC Porto in 2020-21 and against Benfica earlier this season.
Sporting have been eliminated from each of their last five major European knockout ties when losing the first leg, last progressing from such a position back in 2009-10 against Everton in the UEFA Europa League last 32.
They have a record of 2 victories, 2 draws, and 1 loss while Juventus have 2 victories, 2 losses, and 1 draw in their last five games.
The fixture will undoubtedly be one of the games to watch.
BETTING TIP: Juventus to win and 0-2 goals in the match.
Sevilla Vs Manchester United
There is plenty to play for when these two sides meet, the first leg ended in a thrilling 2-2 stalemate.
Erik Ten Hag may have been disappointed after his side gave away a 2 goal advantage but they have 90 minutes and/or even extra time to make amends.
However, Sevilla should be bubbling with confidence and will be keen on maximizing home advantage.
United have not won against Sevilla in European competition with Sevilla holding a resounding record in the competition against English opposition.
Sevilla have progressed from six of their previous eight European ties against English clubs. They enter this fixture with a record of 2 victories, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last five games.
United, on the other hand, have 3 victories,1 loss, and 1 draw in their last five games.
This encounter will mostly deliver edge-of-seat moments, but who will win?
BETTING TIP: Manchester to win or draw and 2 or more goals in the match.
