“Thurdays Nights are Europa Nights!” – Arsenal and Man Utd head the betting to win the Europa League but they both face different tasks tonight to make it to the last 8.
Manchester United should see things through in Seville where they defend their 4-1 lead over Real Betis.
United put in a strong performance last week after the stinging criticism that followed their 7-0 defeat at Anfield but they followed that with a disappointing 0-0 draw at home to Southampton so you wouldn't be overly confident in backing them at 21/20 to win tonight.
Betis' domestic form is still holding up, they're fifth in La Liga and they recently held Real Madrid to a 0-0 draw at home. In fact they've already beaten United 1-0 at Estadio Benito Villamarín this season, when the sides met in a December friendly.
We can't read too much in to that result but it could be a similarly tight game tonight. It's not beyond Erik ten Hag to set up to stifle the game and keep Betis at arms length in the tie. United kept four clean sheets in the Group stages and have managed 11 in 26 Premier League games.
Under 2.5 Goals would see United through and as we saw in Madrid last night it could be a case that with a three-goal deficit the tie is already beyond the Spaniards, while the Red Devils will be happy to see out the tie without over-exerting themselves.
Mikel Arteta won't see a run in the Europa League as a distraction but give him UEFA glory or a clear run at the Premier League title and he'd most likely opt for the latter. That won't dissuade him from giving his all tonight as Arsenal aim to better their 2-2 draw in Lisbon last week.
The Gunners are 2/5 to win inside the 90 minutes but they'll need to be on their mettle to take care of things against dangerous opponents. Sporting are in good form in Portugal and were impressive in disposing of Midtjylland 5-1 on aggregate in the previous round after dropping into the competition following a third placed finish in Champions League Group D.
This will be their second visit to London this campaign following a 1-1 draw at Spurs back in October. They also got the better of Arsenal's north London rivals in Lisbon so shouldn't be written off too readily at 9/1 tonight.
It could be another open game and with Sporting in good goal-scoring form both teams to score appeals at 19/20.

Not a lot i fancy today but having a go at this for small stakes in Madrid/pool game ,
Madrid win , Madrid most corners , Liverpool most cards , 14/1 hills ❌️
Goodluck tonight with the bets all 👍
Downed by Madrid corners looked good at one point first half think Madrid were 5-1 up in the corner count aswel…….
5-9 was the corner count. Liverpool rarely lose on corners.
I know they don’t mate but at that price was worth a small punt
Freiburg vs juventus : BTTS
Union St Gilois vs Union Berlin: BTTS

Sat
Southampton v Spurs
Spurs to win at 3/4 (NAP)
Southampton come in to this game desperate for points and the biggest problem they have is scoring goals, in their last game they lost 0-2 to Brentford at home where they registered just 1 shot on target, yes they had more possession, more completed passes in fact double to what Brentford had and still lost 0-2 and that’s the main stat at the end of the day. I said a while ago Spurs were unbackable without playmaker Bentencur but then they go and win their recent home game 3-1 against Forest. The main reason though why i think this a great bet is the fact Spurs don’t have to do a lot, they are more than capable of scoring twice here and given Southampton’s toothless attack there is no way they are capable of putting two past Spurs they just aren’t good enough. Southampton’s football can be pleasing on the eye up until the final third. The reverse fixture ended 4-1 to Spurs and it’s also worth noting that Southampton’s best work comes away from home where they have accrued most of their points this season. Spurs also have the added incentive that Liverpool don’t play until the 1st of April in which they meet Man City away. I think Conte will be all out to win this, i took 4/5 yesterday and the price has started to come in already.
Best of luck
Spurs 5/6

LOST !!!!
Djurgarden at home to Lech Poznan looks like a gamble worth taking on
The Swedes have taken some notable scalps this season at home in Europe. They’ve won all 6 at home and put 3 past Molde in a 3-2 victory while Gent conceded 4 on the Island in the middle of Stockholm. fancying them too grab a couple tonight against a poor travelling Poznan side who are without an away victory in Europe this season. A run that includes a 1-0 loss in Reykjavík and 1-1 draws against Euro minnows Dinamo Batumi & F91 Dudelange.
Djurgardens 2+ team goals 6/4
Djurgardens win & BTTS 9/2
Slovan Bratislava too score 2+ and repeat a feat they have already achieved 3 times in 3 meetings this season having met in the group stages. 3 games finished 3-3,2-0 and 2-2

Slovan Bratislava win & BTTS 19/5
