Football – Europe – Europa League Betting Tips
The other match being played in Group A on Thursday night sees second placed FC Zurich taking on AEK Larnaca with further betting tips from the Europa League on match day 5.
FC Zurich sit level on points with Bayer Leverkusen and hold a commanding and unassailable seven point margin over tonight’s opponents AEK Larnaca and Ludogorets, so there’s no way they can be caught now and regardless of the result, will progress through to the knockout rounds of the Europa League.
Zurich’s campaign saw them get off to a flyer as they racked up three straight wins over AEK Larnaca away and then back-to-back home wins over Ludogorets and Bayer Leverkusen at their Stadion Letzigrund, and with home advantage again this evening, the hosts look well set to add to their points tally.
Midfielder Kololli (6 goals) and forward Odey (5 goals) look the most likely for the hosts.
AEK Larnaca have had a difficult Europa League campaign as they’ve managed to amass just two points during the group stages so far, thanks to recent back-to-back draws with Ludogorets, ending in home an away 1-1 and 0-0 results respectively.
However, the Cypriot outfit had started their Europa League campaign with disappointing defeats to the top two clubs, FC Zurich and Bayer Leverkusen and they’ve ben playing catch-up ever since – and they’ve failed to catch either of them up now.
AEK Larnaca have recorded just two away wins from their last 10 on their travels in this competition, and with Zurich holding home advantage here, the betting tips fancy a home win for the Swiss club. However, AEK have also been involved in a number of draws during this 10-match sequence (5), so I advise using the handicap on Zurich in this one.
Pick; Zurich AH-0.25 @ 1.63 Bet Victor
