Ibrox looks set for another Thursday night thriller following Rangers’ 2-2 draw with Benfica last week and there’s no reason why the Gers can’t finish the job off to book a place in the last eight of the Europa League.
Phillipe Clement’s men led twice in Lisbon despite the Eagles enjoying the lion’s share of possession but the Portuguese looked a bit toothless at times and a fired-up home support can roar Rangers to victory at 9/5.
Liverpool have things sewn up after a 5-1 first leg demolition of Sparta Prague.
That should give Jurgen Klopp scope to rest a few players ahead of their FA Cup quarter final with Manchester United but it looks like main man Mo Salah will feature in order to aid his return to full fitness.
The Egyptian marksman is 8/11 to score and 10/3 to grab two or more.
West Ham fell to a 1-0 defeat to mid-table Freiburg but with home advantage will be expected to turn things around in London.
They’re 4/6 to win but to ensure they qualify inside the 90 minutes they’ll need to win by two or more which is a 2/1 shot.
Brighton need a footballing miracle to book their place in Friday’s draw after a 4-0 trouncing at AS Roma last week.
The Seagulls are 14/1 to qualify but that looks a step too far, even for Roberto Di Zerbi’s unpredictable charges.
Aston Villa are the UK’s sole representative in the Europa Conference League and although it might not be prime Ajax they’re facing tonight it should still be a blockbuster at Villa Park.
Chances were few and far between in last week’s 0-0 draw in Amsterdam but the bookies make Unai Emery’s men 4/11 to get the better of their Dutch counterparts in 90 minutes.
John McGinn will have a point to prove after his reckless red card contributed to a 4-0 defeat to Spurs at the weekend and the Scotsman, who has already scored two in Europe this season, is 4/1 to find the net tonight.

Goldson to be carded 5/1 BetMgM
Heading to Germany for my single today at odds of 6/4
Leverkusen host qarabag in what I’m expecting to be a fairly one sided affair. With the first leg ending 2-2 I definitely see plenty of goals again.
I can’t see past a leverkusen win and am looking at multiple goals for the home side. But the value lies in the away goals and even tho Leverkusen have been good defensively this season I am banking on qarabag netting at least once. They have scored in every away game this season and the last time they failed was in a pre season friendly. Netting multiple times regularly against some quality opponents including 4 against braga.
They have scored 21 in their last 5 away games
Leverkusen win and btts is 6/4 and this will be my main bet
Btts o3.5 is also tempting at 7/4.
Will possibly be my only bet today as I’m not a fan of euro matches but if I change my mind I may post a double/treble later
Good luck all

QPR to score over 1.5 3.00

QPR to score over 3.5 23.00
Sunderland lost 6 in a row. Young inexperienced team look absolutely lost at the minute. Clarke and roberts out injured. Strikers have scored a grand total of 3 goals all season. Can’t see where next win will come from. We have 7 defenders out injured. The defence that will line up for us on Saturday will be worse than our League 1 defences. Must win for QPR, they get an early goal safc could crumble. Not a nice atmosphere at the club atm.
Ref for the Rangers game likes a red card, 13/5 for either team to get a red but I always tend to put on the bet for each side to get a red, which in this case is 5/1 for both teams.
Lundstram card 15/8
Di Maria card 7/2
Dessers card 7/2 (dissent)

A win for West Ham would all but seal a 5th spot for the Premier League’s Champions League spots no pressure then.
I seriously can’t get over how short goal prices are getting. I’m literally having to turn down putting accas on now because there is just no value at all. And if you want to go against the market it has to be done in singles which is no fun although I’d imagine with the way prices are at the moment profitable in the long run. Ah well nothing from me tonight..
Going to get worse the casino’s have been hit with new regulations coming in to effect in September. I don’t know what the government have got planned for the sport side of things but it won’t be nice you can be assured of that.
Yeh it’s a shame Macca. I don’t really see how they can get any shorter. I’m already turning bets down most nights now. Still the odd single out there. But accas are getting close to a loss of 30-40% on what they were a year or two ago. I’m having to add two extra selections into an ACCA to get same odds as then on average. Just checked European games 6pm 4/8 went against market prices massively huge profit betting against them just then as I suspected as singles.
Income verification & affordability checks Macca. In the consultation document, a loss > £500 per year will trigger bank statements etc being required by bookie.
Salford v Stockport 20:00
20+ Salford booking points and 6+ Stockport corners. 11/8 Sky
Stockport have managed six or more corners in eight of their last nine games. Salford have received multiple yellows in eight of their last nine games.
Bayer Leverkusen v Qarabag 20:00
Over 1 Bayer goals and over 6 Bayer corners 13/10 Bet365
Bayer have managed eight corners in five of their last six home games and they also landed eight in the first leg. They have scored 2+ goals in 9/10 games.
Good luck.

Villarreal v Marseille 70 mins on clock
Currently 2-0 Villarreal who need to turn round a 4-0 deficit so will be going for it

4:0 to Liverpool in first 14 minutes 🤣
I took over 4.5 goals at 12/5 last night, the same bet was 13/8 just before kick off.
Heading to Germany for my single today at odds of 6/4
