IT'S the seventh consecutive Thursday night of Europa League action as we approach play-off matches to decide who goes through to group stage.
Most of minnows have been knocked out and it leaves us with teams we'll at least have heard of – that doesn't make it any easier as there are some finely-balanced matches but as with previous weeks over 1.5 match goals has been a profitable market to back in this competition and worth siding with again.
There are a number of candidates tonight who should deliver over 1.5 goals – I've be picked out 5 matches.
Also keep an eye out later tonight for this weekend's Podcast – we'll be running through the best bets of the weekend's football in Scotland and England and for those who didn't catch last week's podcast they can listen here.
Celtic vs AIK (7.45)
Not where Celtic wanted to be but they need to make the most of it and as they have done so in most games this season they will be a goal threat.
Defensively the jury is definitely out and AIK will fancy their chances of grabbing an away goal but the visitors are nowhere near the level Cluj are at and the Scots should see of the Swedes with minimal fuss.
Celtic's biggest asset is attacking and they have been in terrific goalscoring form. Christie, Edouard and Forrest will again provide plenty ammunition in the final third.
It's not been a great 10 days for Celtic but they should rediscover some form against an AIK side who won't be progressing to the group stages. You need to go back to 2012 since their last notable result in Europe.

Sky doing 7/1 for over 1.5 goals in Celtic/Linfield/PAOK/Torino/Partizan/Espanyol and Braga games. Reckon that’s a decent bet?
They also go 5/6 for 18+ goals in these games
Shouldn’t be far away with the first one.
Yeah noticed that mate – both in with a good chance, prefer the 18+ of the two
That was my main standout tonight Greg, Celtic and o1.5mgls. Good to see you backing it, here’s hoping 👍 (looking forward to the podcast)
Thanks fella 👍🏼
