Football – Europe – Europa League Betting Tips
The final pick in this evening’s Europa League second leg ties features another home side behind in the count with Belgian side Genk looking to overcome a 3-2 defeat last week in the first leg against Spanish side Celta Vigo.
Genk finished top of Group F with a two point margin ahead of runners-up Athletic Bilbao in the group qualifying phase which was largely thanks to an impressive showing in their home games where they registered three straight wins over Sassuolo, Athletic Bilbao and Rapid Vienna.
Genk carried their strong home form into the round of 32 when they beat Astra Giurgiu 1-0, and
they hold home advantage in this second leg, where they’ll once again be depending upon their strong home form here this evening if they’re to progress into the semi-finals.
Visitors Celta Vigo earned a vital 3-2 lead in last week’s first leg at their Estadio de Balaídos, and the Spanish outfit could be one of the dark horses to go all the way in this season’s Europa League as they’ve flown under the radar throughout the majority of this competition to date.
Celta Vigo suffered just one defeat in the group stages as they finished second to group winners Ajax, with a win, draw and loss on their travels in this phase, but they registered another win on the road at Shakhtar Donetsk in the round of 32 and recorded a 2-0 win away at Russian outfit Krasnodar in the round of 16.
The Spanish outfit are therefore very capable of scoring here this evening as an away win isn’t out of the question, and this second leg could go all the way here.
Pick: Both teams to score @ 1.53 bet365
