New Rangers’ boss Phillipe Clement faces an early examination of his credentials in a tough-looking tie in Prague tonight.
Hosts Sparta lead the way domestically, unbeaten after 12 games and only four points dropped. They came through a tough Play-Off Round match against Croatian Champions Dinamo Zagreb, where they overturned a 3-1 first leg deficit with a 4-1 win of their own to reach the group stages, so will be a formidable challenge for the Gers in the Czech capital.
Rangers have won just two of their last 19 away days in Europe (including the 2022 Europa League final). Among that run, a 1-0 defeat to tonight’s opponents en route to the final.
Clement got a tune out of his new charges at the weekend but this will be a tougher assignment and that away record points to the home win being the best bet at 10/11 in this one.
In the same group Real Betis look a good bet for the accas at 17/20. Opponents Aris stunned themselves as much as they did Rangers when they beat them last month and it would be quite the story if they added the scalp of La Liga opposition too.
That looks a step too far against Betis who are unbeaten in six (W2 D4)
Liverpool should cruise to victory at Anfield where they host Ligue 1’s 11th placed side Toulouse. The French club have only won twice in nine in the league but have picked up four points from their two matches in Group E.
The Reds are 2/11 to win but a win to nil could be worth a punt at a more appealing 11/10.
Tonight’s tie at the Amex should be a cracker as Brighton welcome Euro giants Ajax.
The Amsterdam club are in turmoil following a disasterous start to the season. Maurice Steijn has been sacked and 38-year-old Hedwiges Maduro installed as caretaker coach in the interim.
He’ll be out to prove he’s worthy of a permanent crack at the job and draws against AEK and Marseille means they’re still in the hunt for qualification from Group B.
They might well benefit from the new-manager-bounce and could be dangerous opponents for Brighton tonight at a big price of 15/2. You can get above evens on Ajax +1.5 goals on the Asian Handicap.
Norwegian champions Molde won’t be winning Eliteserien this time round so should be throwing everything they have at qualification from Group H. They’re pointless after defeats to Bayer Levekusen and Qarabag but should be good enough to get three points on the board against Swedish side BK Hacken at 8/11.
In the Europa Conference Aston Villa won’t find the going easy at AZ Alkmaar who sit second top of Eredivisie, making an unbeaten start to their campaign (W8 D1).
They lost by the odd goal in seven in Mostar and have found the net in every match this season so far. Villa are certainly capable of scoring over there so goals looks the best angle here where it’s 4/5 for Over 2.5 Goals, 4/6 for BTTS and 11/10 for a combination of both.
Goals have been flying in in Group H where 18 goals have been scored in the four games to date. Ludogorets shipped seven to Nordsjaelland and travel to Fenerbahce tonight.
The Turkish side have scored five in their two games, both of which finished O2.5. Add another 2.5 goals tonight to the goals Treble.

Taranto v Turris
19:45
Italian Serie C 🇮🇹
BTTS 21-20 BET365 .. NAP.. *** ✅
Prediction 2-1
Head to head here is crap on the whole, last 2 here ended 0-0 and Taranto only seen 2 BTTS in their last 14 games but Turris scoring form this season swings it for me.
** They have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals in ALL 9 league games and average over 4 match goals per game and even scored against league leaders and defensive misers juve stabia last time with 10 men !!!.
Hoping they bring Taranto out of their shell a bit today 🤔

Athlético Paranaense V América-MG
23:00
Brazilian Serie A 🇧🇷
BTTS 19-20 BET365 ..NB.. ✅
Prediction 2-1
paranaense only lost 1 at home this season and scored in 20 of last 21 home games and the one blank was a 0-2 home to flamengo in the Brazilian cup…..
They have though conceded 15 at home which is the joint worst of the top 14 clubs in serie A.
America are bottom but score regularly away from home.
** They have seen BTTS in their last 16 away games with 13 seeing BTTS and over 2.5 goals **
2 small side bets.
Team to score double
Turris and America mineiro both 4-6 at bet365 pays 7-4. ✅
BTTS double
Taranto 11-10 paranaense 19-20 at bet365 pays just over 3-1 ✅
——————————————–
Finished
Taranto 3 Turris 1
Paranaense 3 America mineiro 2
You bring this late
Nice work Elvis 👍
Betis are a big price to win away at a poor side. Worries me that..
yeah, i will go for aris to make the surprise ….?!!!
Gomis also to score anytime – as he will play free at the place of kokorin and that will give him space to shoot a lot as he did with slovan…

🇮🇹 Roma v SK Slavia Prague 🇨🇿
20:00
Europa League
Slavia Prague to score 4-5 NAP (BETFAIR SPORTSBOOK).**
BTTS 6-5 NB (BET365).*
side bet
BTTS and over 2.5 goals 2-1 (HILLS).
Both won their 2 games and lead the others by 6 points already.
Roma improved recently but still don’t look as good as last season from what I’ve seen and struggled to beat 10 men on Sunday, and mourinhio got his customary red card.
Slavia are very good in their own sphere but that is of course not in the same level as serie A.
They have though scored in 30 of their last 31 games in all competitions which is the reason for this bet.
Prediction 1-1 or 2-1 if Lukaku scores 1 of the many chances he usually misses.
Evening gents,
The Youth shout yesterday was nowhere near 😬
I’m hoping for more joy with the grown-ups tonight…
