Thursday 23rd January
See AllBet of the Day Tip
These sides have scored just eight goals in 12 combined matches in the Europa League league phase, with under 2.5 goals landing in nine of these 12 games.
Correct Score Double Tip
Lyon may be the better side on paper, but Fenerbahce are unbeaten in six games and have only lost one of their Europa League ties. Two of those have ended 1-1, so take the spoils to be shared on Thursday.
Both of Rigas’ points in the Europa League have come at home with draws against Galatasaray and Anderlecht. Their Anderlecht tie was a 1-1 scoreline, while Ajax played out an identical result away to Slavia Prague earlier this season.
Europa League Mega Accumulator Tip
Manchester United have only won one of their last eight games in 90 minutes and face a tough test when they host Rangers, who have only lost one of their six Europa League group games and usually reserve their best for this competition.
Union Saint-Gilloise are unbeaten at home in the Europa League this season and won 2-1 against Nice in their last tie. They face a Sporting Braga side that have won just one of their seven points away from home in the Europa League this season.
Rigas may be winless in the Europa League, but they have drawn at home to Galatasaray and Anderlecht and only narrowly lost away to Eintracht Frankfurt. Ajax have lost their last two Europa League games and have only won three of their last seven competitive away games.
Frankfurt can show their class here against a Ferencvarosi TC who let Paok put five past them in the last round of fixtrues. Frankfurt come in on good form and should comfortably beat their Hungarian rivals, scoring a few goals in the process.
Elfsborg have been performing much better than Nice in this competition. All seven of their points have come at home and Nice are second-bottom in the standings with just two points from a possible 18.
Europa League Win Accumulator Tip
Hoffenheim have only scored six times in their last ten games and have won just one of those outings so are well worth taking on against a Tottenham team who should have some of their attacking talents returning.

How does the Europa League work?
Strap yourselves in – it gets complicated. Think of the Europa League as the Champions League’s little brother, or second-tier. There are a whole manner of ways in which teams can qualify.
In the big European leagues, the two or three teams best-finishing teams outside the Champions League qualification spots qualify for the Europa League. Entry can also be possible through winning a domestic cup. The lower the standard of the league, the fewer teams can qualify.
The tournament begins with four qualification rounds, usually filled with teams from small leagues, teams that finished outside the Champions League spots in the biggest European leagues, and 10 losers from the Champions League play-off round.
The official competition begins with a 48-team group stage, made up of 12 groups containing four teams each. In each group, each team plays each other twice, once home and once away. The top two qualify.
Then the knockout stage begins with the round of 32, where those who qualified from the group stage are joined by eight teams that finished 3rd in their Champions League groups. During the knockout stages there are two legs in each fixture, except the final, which is a stand-alone match.
Our Europa League tips cover all the games, from the group stage right through to the final.
