Football – Europe – Europa League Betting Tips
Thursday night also brings us match day 5 in the Europa League and my next preview features German club Bayer Leverkusen playing host to Bulgarian outfit Ludogorets as the betting tips continue in Group A.
Bayer Leverkusen sit joint top of Group A level on points with FC Zurich but possess a one goal superior goal difference ahead of this important encounter against Ludogorets at their BayArena. Leverkusen recorded a solid 2-0 home win over Stuttgart in the Bundesliga on the weekend and will be keen to register a third successive win on home turf here.
Bayer Leverkusen had previously beaten FC Zurich 1-0 at home, and along with an away win at tonight’s opponents and a 4-2 win over AEK Larnaca, the hosts should be in confident mood despite a 3-2 loss away at FC Zurich.
Ludogorets sit in third place level on points with AEK Larnaca and joint bottom of Group A ahead of their trip to Germany on Thursday night with nothing but pride left to play for as they have no hope of catching up to the top two teams of the group who hold an unassailable seven point cushion.
The visitors started their campaign with back-to-back defeats to Bayer Leverkusen at home and an away defeat at FC Zurich, and although they’ve avoided defeat in their next two matches which were home and away to AEK Larnaca, they face a tough trip here.
Ludogorets have managed just two wins from their last 11 away matches in the Europa League so it seems very unlikely that they’ll overturn Bayer Leverkusen here. Instead, the betting tips fancy a home win here for Leverkusen and to cover the asian line too.
Pick: Bayer Leverkusen AH-1 @ 1.66 Bet Victor
