Best Football Betting Tips Today: Lech Poznan v Rangers
Rangers are through to the next round already and they need to match whatever it is that Benfica do on the same night, to finish in the top spot.
They could get an easy game as they make the trip to Poznan for Thursday nights’ game.
That is because Lech were smashed 4-0 by Benfica in their last match, eliminating them from the competition.
Rangers have taken a W3 D2 record from their five games and have been impressive on the road.
They started their campaign with a 2-0 win at Standard Liege, before playing out a 3-3 draw at Benfica.
Rangers are 8/15 odds on to pick up the win that secures the top spot.
They are W2 D2 L1 from five previous visits to Poland.
Lech hold a W3 D3 L3 record at home in the Europa League proper and were winless in four such fixtures before they beat Standard Liege on matchday three.
It’s been a total of five goals scored in their two home games but they are 9/2 underdogs for the win.
That’s because they are facing a Rangers team who are unbeaten in all competitions this season and have something to play for.
Rangers to win at 8/15

Football Betting Picks Today: Tottenham v Royal Antwerp
This is a winner-takes-all match in Group J of the Europa League that we are next looking at for football betting for today.
Whoever gets the win will finish top of the section.
With home advantage on their side, Totteanh are strong odds-on favourites at 3/10 for the win.
They have to pick up a victory to get the top spot, that’s because they trail group leaders Antwerp by a couple of points.
So far at home in this campaign, Tottemah have taken a 3-0 win over LASK and have thumped Ludogorets 4-0.
So there are good signs from their European home form this season.
It’s been three games played (including qualifiers) and Spurs have scored 14 goals in that sequence.
Tottenham’s overall home record in the group stage of the Europa League is a highly impressive W14 D2 L1 and they are on a seven-match winning streak in such fixtures.
Antwerp only have to turn up and play for a draw.
They took a 2-1 win in Bulgaria against Ludogorets in their first away game of this campaign, ending a seven-match winless streak of road form in Europe (D3 L4).
The Great Old followed that up by beating LASK 2-0 as well.
Their overall record against English clubs is now W3 L2, with one win and one loss in England.
Royal Antwerp are 17/2 underdogs for Thursday’s game and while they are in form, we see Spurs rolling past them.
Spurs to win to nil 11/8

Football Betting Tips for Today: Leicester v AEK Athens
To land the top spot in Group G of the Europa League, Leicester have to match the result of SC Braga on the night in their game against Zorya.
That’s because the Foxes are level on points with the Portuguese side but hold the head to head advantage between the two.
Leicester have won their two home games in the group so far, scoring seven unanswered goals in total.
They also earned a win on their visit to Greece, earning a 2-1 success in Athens.
This will be the first time that Leicester have played host to a Greek side and the Foxes are 1/3 odds on for the win.
Leicester haven’t been in the sharpest of form recently though, having taken a W1 D1 L3 record in all competitions.
They lost 1-0 at Zorya in their last group stage game.
AEK Athens are out of the running, sitting bottom of the group with only three points earned from their first games.
They have leaked a lot of goals as well, conceding eight in their last three Europa League fixtures alone.
It has been a W1 L4 record that AEK Athens have taken from their five previous trips to England.
Impressively they have only suffered one loss in their last 12 away fixtures in the Europa League (including qualifiers).
However, in their last twelve games in the competition proper, home and away they have won one of their last twelve.
Leicester to win to nil at 13/10

Online Betting Football Tip: Celtic v Lille
We finish our football betting tips today with a visit to Parkhead.
While Celtic’s campaign has already come to a very disappointing end, they round off their European run this season with a home game.
They are 21/10 to pick up a win against group leaders Lille on Thursday night.
But the Scottish champions are well out of form at the moment having gone winless in their last five games (D2 L3).
It has only been one point from their five games in the Europa League group that Celtic have taken.
That point did come when they visited France, the Bhoys taking a 2-2 draw against Lille in that one.
Celtic have no interest in this game other than pride.
But Lille, in contrast, have everything to play for.
A victory would guarantee that they go through to the next round as group winners.
It is an unbeaten W3 D2 record that the French side have taken and they won by a three-goal margin at both Sparta Prague and AC Milan in their away games.
We think that the French side turn up in a determined enough mood to take a win
Lille to win at 13/10
