Benfica conceded goal from Standard in Liege!
But they managed to tie already.
Same Roma against CSKA i  Moscow .

if Sociedad loses and AZ wins then Sociedad will be eliminated to the next round...
*very hot match. Dundalk appears to provide a stiff resistance to the arsenal, the first half was not over but Arsenal was already leading 2-1. very likely Arsenal will win in this match.

Be carefull about Rangers, Lech Posen can be dangerous opponent, they played very well against Benfica in first matchday, and some players excluded from second game against Benfica are back! It is definitely to risky to bet such low odds.

You don't really need to think much about this as the chances are quite slim with the number of matches on the last day. $10 for $250 definitely looks good to me. Besides, you won't go broke with that. It's also one of those things that you won't do regularly on sports betting. I'm assuming you're responsible enough to not put a huge amount (by your standard) on this.

God help me but I didn't have time to do anything on research or even real betting but I took a blind swipe at Europa League. There's a special on Sportsbet for all late games to have 1 goal at least by half time for 25/1.

Didn't even get to check if those are good odds but psychologically, seems plausible on final match day for group stages.

Standard Liege - SL Benfica

in the interview the coach of benfica (jorge jesus) guaranteed that he goes to this game with the aim of winning the game and I think that Standard Liège will do everything to win in order to say goodbye with more dignity. I'm thinking of placing a bet on this game. I'll bet benfica will win this game

PFC CSKA Sofia - AS Roma

Young Boys - FC CFR 1907 Cluj

I believe AS Roma and Young Boys will win

I was trying to mix some games in a 5-game multi (excluding AS Roma) but decided to scrap it and ended up with a single (Leverkusen to win and BTTS). Odds at 3.18 was good enough for me and I'll just wait for how odds will change as the games in different groups progresses. I'm hoping the underdogs score first in the first half.

I actually agree here. Watch for Spurs, Arsenal, Leicester and maybe I would say all the Italian clubs. Take a live bet when they are 1 goal down, you should get really good value plus then you also know who is actually available on field and on bench!

There is no such thing as nothing to play for in football games especially in an official Europa league match, the two teams trained to the build up of the game and will field their players -although some snr players may rest- but the team will be a complete eleven players on the pitch, and also there is history to play for because the game will go down in history as a team one and a team lost or it was a draw, and fielded jnr players has a thing or two to prove to the coach.

be careful for those who want to bet on the arsenal vs Dundalk match.  issues that spread, arsenal will drop their young players and make their core players rest for a while because whatever the result of this match will not affect both team positions, but arsenal is still the best pick to win this match even though Dundalk is the host..

I am talking with a few colleagues right now and they greatly insist on the game Dundalk vs Arsenal to finish with under 10 or max 10 corners.I do not agree with this but they say that in a game where there is nothing to play for the game takes place only in midfield.

Many games which no one plays for nothing as both teams have qualified or both teams are eliminated so not a good day to bet today in Europa League.

Molde can also qualify with a loss, but it needs to be a one-goal-difference loss only, where Molde themselves have to score, so something like 1-2/2-3/3-4. If they lose 1-0, the H2H will be tied, but Rapid has the better goal differential and take 2nd place in the group. This normally screams over, but a) odds are poor b) Rapid will look to not concede first - they have 90min time to score that one goal. If they concede, they will have to win 3-1+ c) Molde will look for a 0-0 here and they can defend well.

The under is probably more interesting, where you hedge your bet asap, once a goal has been scored


For Alkmaar the calculation is really easy: Win and in They don't need to have one eye in Napoli. With 3 points at Rijeka, it's not possible for both Napoli and Real Sociedad to finish better than them. Same as Trofo I think Napoli will more or less park the bus and look for a draw here in first place. They would most likely lose first place with a draw, but first you have to make sure your qualify for KO phase. Real Sociedad is not super lethal upfront, so I am thinking under here as well. Napoli will probably win this with some late counter-attack...

I won't make any pre-match bets. In these last rounds with lots of different scenarios and teams having to push more and more as we near the final whistle, there are lots of good bets to be found inplay. Way better bets than pre-match, so keep your powder dry

Yes this match doesn't change anything. Roma stay at the top and CSKA still can't qualify the same goes for the Dundalk vs Arsenal match
The competition for points is in Group F Napoli, Alkmaar, Real Sociedad, Sociedad have to fight because it is not easy to beat Napoli at home while Alkmaar must repeat the win like in the first leg.

Although Dinamo Zagreb has nothing to play for tonight (they have already secured 1st place in the group), I'd really like that they take the game against last placed CSKA with maximum seriousness. If they do not concede tonight, I believe they will become the first team in an european competition without conceding a single goal in the group stage.

They have a really stable league situation so do not have to rest players, I hope they achieve this feat tonight.

AS Roma odds at 1.9 looks like another trap by bookies. It already happened last night with Liverpool in UCL and good thing I avoided that match saving me a few bucks. Be careful to those who are planning to take that bait. Roma might have better players on paper but they are currently leading by six points which means they don't need this match.

Not the game I would choose for my single. I actually think this will end as 0:0 or 1:0 for one side. Napoli is Italian squad and all of them know how to play tight game when draw is enough to see them trough. Sociedad also played a lot of tight games. They play sort of attacking football but they are not scoring a lot of goals.
I am skipping that one and playing a following multi with insurance:
Rangers to win @1.57
Lille to win @2.0
Dinamo to win @1,8
Bayer both to score @1.7
Milan both to score @1.69

Indeed that would be very entertaining clash where Real Sociedad have to play with full energy to show something extraordinary play to prove they are good team. I also expecting this could be a high scoring game so that I also will do agree with you over 2.5 goals is a nice choice.

Last Matchweek of the group stage, a lot of teams have qualified to the next round already so only a few matches actually matter to find out which teams will be present in the Round of 32 draw next Monday.

I'll focus on the biggest match tonight; Napoli - Real Sociedad. There are a few combinations of results that could resut in either napoli or the italians getting KO'd thanks to AZ Alkmaar being the 3rd player in this group with chances of qualifying to the next round tonight. Gonna go with O2.5 goals in a single ticket, expecting both to go for the win and find the net a few times

and a fun acca at almost 24 odds cos why not?

Today is the game week 6 for europa league teams and some teams are still gonna battle out tonight to ensure qualification to the round of 32.  The following ties should be so much interesting

Young Boys ?  -  ? CFR Cluj; This time is a struggle between 2nd and 3rd position; a draw means young boys are through to the next round; while an away victory means Young boys are out of the europa league.

Rapid Wien ?  -  ? Molde; Same scenario applies to this match; a draw or win for Molde sends them to the next round; while Rapid wien will be looking to win the tie and proceed to the  next round.

In Group F, Its a big night for Real Sociedad and AZ Alkmaar; with both teams playing away from home tonight; Alkmaar are 3rd due to h2h records and will be hoping that sociedad draws or lose to their; while they win theirs. It remains to be seen who qualifies from the group becase Napoli also cannot lose at home to Sociedad.

Maccabi Tel Aviv ?  -  ? Sivasspor; Winner of the tie will be the one to progress to the next round in group I

I agree with you.
Even in Croatian national league Dinamo is not so good like in last a few years  but in the Europa league they are perfect.
Any way, if I can forget about their coach and his brother, I may even enjoy because of their results in Europe 😀
