The Turkish teams, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, had a really great day yesterday. Maybe Galatasaray couldn't win this time and it ended in a 1-1 draw. But the Marseille - Lazio game also ended in a draw with the result of 2-2. Galatasaray are still the leader in their group with 8 points and the second, Lazio, are following them being 3 points behind. And it was a very productive day for Fenerbahce as they destroyed Antwerp by 3-0 away. They finished their competitor in the first half already by scoring 3 goals. And Olympiacos lost to Frankfurt by 1-2 home which helped Fenerbahce to decrease the point gap with the second, Olympiacos, to one.
Not a great Dinamo performance, but a solid one - the result is the most important thing anyway. Their defence always manages to give away cheap goals - yesterday their offensive play managed to get them off the hook.
Genk's last minute draw with West Ham puts pressure on Dinamo to win the next game as well - a draw might not be enough for them anymore. In the last game Genk is hosting Rapid so Dinamo will want to secure qualification before going away to West Ham.
Amazing performance From West ham united in Europe. Hitting 3 wins and a draw in their Europa league games and also maintaining a good shape in the Domestic league as well. If you told me at the beginning of the season we would be joint third and top of our group in Europe i would not have believed. Look at Declan Rice last night, Dude was outstanding against Genk last night. That was 100% world class, the tackles, Stamina, dedication, leadership, the drive and most of all dedication. It all boils down to David Moyes, how he has tried to bring out the beast in him and I want them to also be able to replicate this form in the later phase of the competition. Genk's last minute draw with West Ham puts pressure on Dinamo to win the next game as well - a draw might not be enough for them anymore. In the last game Genk is hosting Rapid so Dinamo will want to secure qualification before going away to West Ham.
Entertaining matchday in Europa League with some surprises.
What a big win by Bayer against Betis - 4:0.
Leicester is so inconsistent this season that they weren't able to win against Spartak at home. Vardy missed penalty and foxes is risking not to reach next round.
Lazio - Marseille was good game to watch and it ended 2:2.
Dinamo Zagreb achieved very important win against Rapid.
One of biggest surprise is Real Sociedad draw with Sturm.
Midtjylland win against Crvena Zvezda away is also big surprise. Early red card played huge role in this game.
But Monaco 0:0 PSV and 0 shots on target by both teams is something disgraceful.

I was also surprised that Spartak was able to draw in away match, I rather expected a major defeat for Spartak than an effective draw. Now a really funny situation has arisen in the group - the teams have 7, 6, 5 and 4 points from the first place to the second. In fact, everything will be decided in the last two rounds and each team has a chance to take first place.

Crvena Zvezda against Midtjylland today ended in 0-1 for Midtjylland for me that was the biggest surprise of the day in the Europe League,that early red card change the entire match plus later an own goal by Crvena Zvezda and another red card for them and they even had a really good chance in the last minute to draw the match but in the end lost.
Leicester City has failed to win at home again,two loss in a row at home this is not a good one for them this time around,will they be able to turn things around ?
West Ham was quite an interesting match also,the home side are the first team to score West Ham in this Europa league competition, although they sit on top of their group, chances of Finishing first is possible for them.
Crvena Zvezda against Midtjylland today ended in 0-1 for Midtjylland for me that was the biggest surprise of the day in the Europe League,that early red card change the entire match plus later an own goal by Crvena Zvezda and another red card for them and they even had a really good chance in the last minute to draw the match but in the end lost.
FK Crvena Zvezda was the favorite in this match. They were at the top of the table with 7 points from 3 matches. But I did not like their performance against FC Midtjylland tday. I could not enjoy this match. Both teams committed many fouls, but Zvezda's players received two red cards, but Midtjylland committed 19 fouls in the match. But, Midtjylland has attacked a lot and they really deserve to win this match.

West Ham just needs 1 step to go. If they win tonight they should be the first club to go to the next round. there's still 1 more club, Lyon with perfect points. ..
@blue Snow the odds are slightly lower for my liking, but if I had to recommend one team for the win then it would be West Ham, because they have been absolutely brilliant since the season started. Also Genk will try their best but I see West Ham winning it by 1 - 0 or 2 - 1, and what score line are you expecting for this fixture?.West Ham just needs 1 step to go. If they win tonight they should be the first club to go to the next round. there's still 1 more club, Lyon with perfect points. So far, West Ham's performance very well in the last 5 games, they never lost. they only lost against Brentford before. West Ham turns with a full team with favorite to win, odds Genks 3.9 and west ham 1.9, draw 3.7. Genk just needs a miracle and full support from the stadium if wants to continue in europe.
Going with West Ham on this match, I think they have a solid chance at winning today since Genk is struggling a bit based on their recent form, and looks like others are on it as well as the odds are slowly moving down (1.80 atm).
The first half is about to end and Leicester is yet to score a goal, Although, they are dominating the match. They have high probabilities of winning the match.
Unfortunately, Leicester played a lot of possessive football, a lot of passing and moving the ball around behind, but it couldn't get them anywhere. A win in this game was very important for their europa campaign, but they couldn't secure it, the players didn't show any hunger to attack and get goals, they just seemed okay passing the ball to one another alone. I never expected Vardy to miss that penalty, but this is football and anything can happen regardless of who and the experience they have. Defensively Leicester has to improve really, they have been conceding very poor goals lately.
The best game for me tonight will be the Leverkusen match against the Spanish club Real Betis!! I think that the result of a tie will be suitable for both clubs, and Celtic will work to reduce the difference and get a chance to make it among the favorites to the next round!! That's why I will place my bet in favor of Celtic and draw for Betis.
I am not sure if we watched the same match, but Betis terribly lost against Leverkusen. Shortly before the end it is 4 -0 for Leverkusen. Betis had no chance at all. I didn't bet on the match, but I already saw Leverkusen as favorites after watching the club's last Bundesliga games (with the exception of the disastrous Bayern game
). 
Even though Marseille played so well and shoot so many shots, they could only score one goal other than a penalty. In the match they should have won, they saved the draw in the last minutes. With this result, the probability of advancing to next round decreased. Even if they win their own games, they are no longer in control. Marseille was the favorite of this group but they are now in third place. Lazio, on the other hand, got a very important point and they will probably finish the group as the leader.

Murderous night for me in Europa, after a fairly okay UCL round. Absolutely got slaughtered by Monaco, West Ham, Galatasaray, Rangers, all finding a way to draw when they needed all the points to either confirm qualification or stay alive.
in my case it was the same thing, whenever i bet on these Europa League games i always lose bets, unlike the champions league where i do well
today is being a nightmare, all the games in which I thought I would have some profit, the teams ended up in a draw, I wonder if I will have any success in the rest of today's games
In another match Midtjylland is leading against favorite Crvena zvezda goal through own by Zvezda player look like Midityliand can win and have third spot in their group.
Lokomotiv is a team that has a fairly weak defense in group E and they have conceded 4 goals in 3 matches in the european league, in contrast to galatasaray who have now achieved perfect points and have not conceded a single goal, in my opinion if galatasaray can improve their front line later of course they will get an easy victory from the Lokomotiv, I see even though Galatasaray have a strong defense but their attack line is quite blunt in the last 3 matches so they always win by a thin score.
It's not that Lokomotiv's defense is weak, they basically have a lot of holes in their lineup that are hard to patch. There are a couple of good players, but it's not enough to win in European competitions. It used to be better, but many players just run away to Europe if offered (and this sometimes happens). For me personally Galatasaray is a winner in this match without any effort, even with their strikers who have been playing lately.Currently, both Russian clubs at bottom of their groups, and they have no chance for having some better results in these matches. Galatasaray is very good club right now they are on top, and they are going to have this spot until end of this round their quality is some better than Russians.
West Ham played poorly against Genk, although they had opportunities to win this game! Now let's see how Leicester play, I hope they don't let them down tonight! England have disappointed me so far...
By the way, it's interesting to watch the Marseille v Lazio match... I don't understand why the chances of the visitors winning are so high?
West Ham scored 2 goals in the second half, after losing in the first half and was in the best opportunity of winning the match. But they made a own goal, which resulted to the game ending in 2-2 draw. It was a great match.By the way, it's interesting to watch the Marseille v Lazio match...

Lazio is losing and the first will soon end, I literally don't want Lazio to lose this match. However, Marseille is at home, and also don't want to lose their home match. The match is getting more tough and interesting.

I have a bet for tonight, I think of it as a safe... but is there a safe bet in sports betting?
Braga is playing better football than Ludogorets, I believe they will win this game! Red Star is struggling, but I guess they will settle with a draw at least if they don't win the game! Celtic can be a surprise, I don't expect a draw in this game definitely, there can be only one so my bet is 1 or 2! Nice odds for these bets, and as you see I will go for it! Good luck all!

Unfortunately, we can already say that Legia lost. The beginning was quite optimistic and with some luck Legia could lead with an advantage of two goals, but nevertheless, Napoli's players were higher in class and were able to turn the tide of the meeting. If today Leicester wins Spartak at home (of which I'm sure) Legia will move from first place to third.
Despite controlling the match, but napoli were a bit surprised when they conceded a goal in the 10th minute and it was clear that the napoli players were getting a little pressured in the first half, but luckily they were able to get 2 penalty goals and managed to comeback with a score of 1-4 in the match, In my opinion, the Leicester and Spartak match will be a fierce match because whoever can win the match will be able to occupy the second position in the group C standings.We are going to watch a nice game between Monaco and PSV this week I think. Nine days ago, PSV hosted them and Monaco managed to beat them by 2-1 away in a tough game. They won thanks to the goal came in the 89th minute. Monaco are the current leader of the group also. I have really missed this powerful Monaco since the last season. They have been performing really good lately. And I think that they will obtain another victory in this game. But my first choice would be both teams to score.
By the way, I don't know about "both sides to score". After all, Monaco is playing at home. PSV scored a good goal, but one and that was at home. So the French can hold back the defense in their own walls and even with the support of not a small number of fans, PSV clearly will be very difficult to score, and even more importantly do not miss. I would bet on the total of more than two goalsMonaco just shockingly lost the match in the French championship, in the match in which they were the favorites.
The question is how this defeat will affect the Monaco players before this important match with PSV.
This match is very important for both teams, and Monaco is getting closer to its goal of passing the group with a possible victory.
I expect an exciting match with a lot of goals, and I give Monaco a better chance of winning.
It looks like we couldn't make a good prediction.
The Monaco - PSV game today was just one of the most boring games ever. None of the teams got even one shot on target on their attempts. This is a very poor performance for both sides. I'm glad that I didn't place a bet on both teams to score. I would lose my bet by far after this poor result. But Monaco are still the leader as Real Sociedad got a draw against Sturm Graz today also. Jump to:
