Football – Europe – Europa League Betting Tips

Next up is a Group C clash between home side Saint Etienne and visitors Qabala in the Europa League on Thursday night as these two teams seem to be battling it out to avoid the wooden spoon in this group.

Saint Etienne have actually drawn both of their previous Europa League matches so far with stalemates against joint leaders in the group, Mainz and Anderlecht respectively, and a win this evening could see them jump top of the group depending on the result between the aforementioned Mainz and Anderlecht on Matchday 3.

On the domestic front, Saint Etienne have suffered just one defeat from their last 12 matches overall, while they hold the same record in the Europa League with both defeats during these sequences being away from home.

Visitors Qabala sit bottom of Group C having lost to Anderlecht 3-1 away and a 3-2 defeat at home to Mainz, and the fact that they’ve conceded 3 goals in each of their two group matches so far in the Europa League must be a cause for concern for the Azerbaijan outfit here.

Qabala head into this encounter having lost their last three matches actually as they have also suffered a 1-0 defeat at Maribor prior to the group stages of this competition, and in fact they’ve secured just one win from their 13 matches away from home in their Europa League history.

That rare win came against Hungarian side MTK during the qualifying rounds back in July this year, but they’ll be facing much tougher opposition this evening at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
