The Europa League and Europa Conference League are back in town tonight with the catchily titled Knockout Round Play-Offs; 16 teams aiming to make it to the last 16 of their respective competitions.
Since qualifying from the Europa League group stages AS Roma have ditched Jose Mourinho despite him leading them to successive European finals. Club legend Daniele De Rossi has stepped in until the end of the season but those are big shoes to fill.
Defeat to Slavia Prague and a 1-1 draw at Servette suggests they don’t travel too well and could find the going tough at De Kuip where Feyenoord have only lost twice this season, to Atletico Madrid and runaway Eredivisie leaders PSV.
Feyenoord are handily priced at 21/20 to take a first leg lead.
Portuguese pair, Braga and Benfica look solid enough picks and make for a 9/10 Double.
Benfica lead the way in the Primeira Liga and should swat aside the Toulouse who are languishing in 14th in Ligue 1.
Braga struggled in a tough Champions League group which included Real Madrid and Napoli, but four points won against Union Berlin were enough to see them finish in third and suggests they’ll have the quality to edge Qarabag at home.
In the Europa Conference Norway’s top two return to action having not kicked a ball competitively for months, however that’s allowed them to focus all their attention on tonight’s matches.
Champions Bodo/Glimt have a tough task in Amsterdam against Ajax who are in a much more respectable fourth place in Eredivise after an appalling start to the season.
A good run of form was ended at the weekend however with a 3-2 defeat at Heerenveen, so perhaps there’s some cause for optimism for Bodo. But the Eliteserien champions have lost a lot of goals following the departures of Pellegrino and Faris Moumbagna.
That could blunt their chances of sealing a win but they can still get on the scoresheet and a home win with both teams. Scoring pays a healthy 7/4.
Molde host Legia Warsaw and look more likely to get a result at 11/10. Legia have won just four of 10 away from home in Ekstraklasa and lost at Aston Villa and AZ in Group E.

Racing Tips
Rizzel has two 2pt selections from Sandown's jumps meeting for Thursday's racing.
As always, post your betting tips for today in the comments section below.
In December 2020 we sadly 
Big game in Cyprus as the top 2 clash,APOEL entertain Aris Limassol with both sides tied on 53pts after 24 games. Should be a good competitive game and looks tight too call on paper but history and home/away form point towards advantage APOEL.
The sides have 44 previous H2H meetings in league matches… APOEL have lost twice and have won 17 of 22 on home soil
APOEL boast the only undefeated home record in the division,they’ve won 10 & drawn 2 of their 12 matches at HQ.
Aris are equally impressive at home with 10 wins also,however their standards slip on their travels where they’ve lost 4 of 12 including embarrassing defeats at bottom 2 Doxa & Karmiotissa
APOEL won the last 2 home meetings 4-3 & 4-2 in 2023
APOEL win & BTTS 11/4
** As the table stands Aris haven’t beaten a team higher than 6th away from home,5 of their 7 victories away were against bottom half clubs
Poor 👎
Confused…put a goals line on at Hills for loose change. First game 9am in Australia and bet365 have it 0-0 at HT already 😐 that’ll be the line down even though the first one should be voided

Caxias

São José RS
23:00
Brazilian Campeonato Gaucho A1
BTTS 11-10 (Ladbrokes/ BETWAY) NAP **
Caxias BTTS in 6/7 and conceded in all 7.
Sao Jose BTTS in 5/7 and scored in 6 of them .
6 of last 7 head to head seen BTTS with 5 of them score draws.
The 3 here ended 1-1 1-1 and 2-2.
Prediction 1-1 or 2-1
International beat these 2 teams 1-0 and 2-0 so you can skip those as international are better and play in serie A.
1-1 on 67 minutes 🇧🇷👍
Red card, penalty awarded and own goal scored in Ac Milan game.
