WE'RE now at the business end of the Europa League but that doesn't make these first-leg ties any easier to suss out.
I’ve come up two bets. Nothing fancy about the first – Celtic can’t defend so would expect Zenit to score at least once. Napoli are machines at home but face a good Leipzig side who’ll fancy grabbing an away goal while Arsenal should take care of Ostersunds. Would be surprised if we didn’t see at least two goals in these matches.
Over 1.5 Goals Treble
- Ostersunds v Arsenal (6pm)
- Celtic v Zenit St Petersburg (8.05pm)
- Napoli v RB Leipzig (8.05pm)
- (1-1, William Hill) Nap
****************************
- Zenit not to lose
- Arsenal to win
- Double pays (5-4, Paddy Power)

Skybet have their usual specials for both the 6pm and 8.05pm kick offs – I don’t think these will be laden with goals, first legs tend to be cagey affairs but still worth getting involved in first-half goals which is becoming a real favourite of mine with some frequent big-priced winners over the last few months.
A goal to be scored in the first half of each game.
6pm games – 12-1
8.05pm games – 15-1
