Ahead of the Curve: Experts combine for 20/1 Europa League treble
Before becoming a Sports Journalist for Free Super Tips, Aaron spent three years studying Sports Journalism at the University of Sunderland while taking in the Black Cats' 'glory years' under Martin O'Neill. Now back in Northern Ireland he turns niche stats into predictions for FST, while he's one of the few people on this island who is equally comfortable at Windsor Park and the Aviva.
After the Champions League took centre stage last week, the Europa League is given a chance to shine with games spread across Wednesday and Thursday.
We’ve called in three Racing Post tipsters for their early value picks for the games and with two of them backing an upset in Norway, we’ve got a 20/1 treble for you to consider.

Ahead of the Curve treble

Bodo/Glimt beat Besiktas and Lugano at home in the Europa Conference League last season and took Ajax to extra time in the knockout round playoff. Their Aspmyra Stadion home is not an easy place to visit and they host Porto, who recently lost away to Sporting Lisbon.
Steve Davies
The runaway Norwegian champs have a sizeable edge on their unpopular artificial pitch where they have beaten the likes of Celtic and Roma in recent years and have already won three Champions League qualifiers this season. They are a good team anyway and Porto might not fancy this.
Tip: Bodo/Glimt to beat Porto
Joe Casey
Hoffenheim have been very open at the back to start the new Bundesliga season and they could be part of a high-scoring affair as they visit Midtjylland on Wednesday.
Over 3.5 goals has landed in the visitors’ four games this season and in four of the home team’s last five, it looks a big runner again here.
Tip: Over 3.5 goals

Tottenham have won and conceded in wins over Coventry and Brentford in the last week and another high-scoring game is expected as they return to European action. Spurs have conceded in seven of their last eight home wins and they’ve managed two clean sheets across their last 20 matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Qarabag are outsiders here but they’re no pushovers – twice scoring in defeats at Bayer Leverkusen in last season’s competition. Each of their last six Europa League outings have seen both teams score, so back Spurs to win and concede once more.
Tip: Tottenham to win & both teams to score vs Qarabag
