Best Football Betting Tips Today: Slavia Prague v Leicester
Leicester will look to put in any kind of positive result in the first leg of this Europa League contest at Slavia Prague.
The Foxes are a quote of even money to earn the victory on the night.
Leicester have been in good form recently having lost just one match in all competitions since mid-December.
In this season’s Europa League group stage, Leicester took a W4 D1 L1 record, winning once on the road.
This looks like a tricky game as Slavia Prague are a team in form as well.
They are 11/4 to make the most of home advantage.
Saliva Prague have won seven of their last eight games in the Czech league (D1).
They did also win all three home matches in the group stage of this season’s Europa League.
A low-key draw may be the best option out of this for football betting tips today.
Draw at 12/5

Football Betting Picks Today: Sociedad v Manchester United
The Red Devils hit the road on Thursday night as they make the trip to Spain to face Sociedad.
Manchester United are the 11/10 favourites for this one and it may be a good chance for them to shake off some indifferent form.
United have only taken the one victory in their last six games in all competitions.
On their one previous visit to Sociedad, there was a 0-0 draw in the 2013 Champions League.
United dropped out of this season’s Champions League group stage after managing only a W3 L3 record and conceding at least three goals in each of their last four games.
Sociedad could be a tough nut for United to crack, however.
The Spaniards are 11/5 to get the home win.
They have lost just one of their last ten games in all competitions.
Sociedad have dropped only one of their last nine home games in all competitions as well.
In the group stage of this season’s Europa League Sociedad went W2 D3 L1 and may have enough about them to avoid defeat in the first leg of this Round of 32 tie.
Draw at 13/5

Football Betting Tips for Today: Royal Antwerp v Rangers
Rangers had a really good campaign in the group stage of the Europa League, taking a W4 D2 record.
Across all competitions, this season Rangers have lost only one fixture.
It’s impressive stuff and while the level of competition is going to get harder in the Europa League now, they aren’t without a chance here at all.
In fact, Rangers are the 10/11 favourites to get the win on Thursday night.
They are good and solid at the back and are clearly a team thriving with confidence at the moment.
Royal Antwerp are the 14/5 home underdogs in this first leg.
The Belgians claimed a W4 L2 record in the group stage of this seasons’ competition.
That did include a 1-0 home success over Tottenham.
But they did also suffer a home loss against LASK Linz along the way.
It’s one of those tricky fixtures to get a full read on, but the away win does have appeal.
Rangers to win at 10/11

Online Betting Football Tip: Granada v Napoli
Next for today’s football betting, we are looking at Granada v Napoli from the Europa League.
The two clubs will be meeting for the first time.
Granada have been struggling to find a winning touch recently as they have only one victory in their last seven games in all competitions.
There is a quote of 9/4 on the home win happening on Thursday in this fixture.
They have banked only one win in their last five home fixtures as well.
After coming through qualification rounds, Granada earned a W3 D2 L1 record in the group stage, returning a W1 D1 L1 home record and failing to score in two of the three.
Napoli have seen their form take a bit of a dip, but a weekend league victory over Juventus should have lifted their spirits.
They are likely going to have the extra bit of quality up front to settle this leg in their favour.
Napoli to win at 23/20

Online Betting Football Tip: Benfica v Arsenal
The Gunners make the trip to Portugal for a tricky task on Thursday night in the first leg of this Europa League tie.
Arsenal are 13/10 to get the win on the night to set themselves up for success.
The form of Arsenal recently has gone a little bit patchy to be fair with only two wins in their last six in all competitions.
On their one previous trip to face Benfica away from home, Arsenal claimed a 1-1 draw in the 1991 European Cup.
Arsenal won a perfect six from six in the group stage of this season’s campaign and the goals were flying around from them.
We think that they have enough to get a lead.
Benfica are in good form at the moment, but stepping out of the Portuguese domestic scene there is going to be tougher questions asked.
They too went undefeated in the group stage of this season’s Europa League, winning three.
There is a quote of 9/5 on Benfica to get the win.
We don’t think that they give Arsenal an easy night, but the visitors can nick it.
Arsenal to win at 13/10
