Football – Europe – Europa League Betting Tips

This week also sees the start of the group stage of the Europa League and my first pick features Marseille taking on Eintracht Frankfurt with a number of betting tips available for our readers.

Marseille seem to have hit form at just about the right time as they prepare for their opening Group H match at their Orange Vélodrome having registered recent back-to-back wins in the French Ligue 1.

Wins over Monaco 3-2 and a crushing 4-0 romp over Guingamp will give Thursday night’s hosts welcome momentum for their Europa League campaign, as the goals have flowed freely for the hosts.

Marseille sit in second spot to Ligue 1 leaders PSG, and although they lost 3-1 away at Nimes, they’d previously posted another 4-0 home win over Toulouse. Midfielder Payet (3 goals) and striker Thauvin (5 goals) have been amongst the goals early on this season and will be keen to add to their respective tallies here.

Eintracht Frankfurt face a very difficult opening fixture in the group stages of the Europa League as they not only have to travel to Marseille but they’re expected to be without a number of key personnel for this tricky clash.

The likes of Salcedo, Chandler, Rebic, Pacienca and Ronnow are expected to be missing, and the visitors have also lost their last two matches on the trot in the Bundesliga with defeats to Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund.

Eintracht have actually lost six of their last seven matches overall in all competitions, and although they’re unbeaten in their last four in the Europa League overall, they’re not in the best frame of mind ahead of this opening game.

Marseille have the momentum so my betting tips advise a home win here.
