Europa League Tips tonight

Hertha Berlin 1.51 v Brondby 8.40; The Draw 4.50
Thursday, 19:15
Live on Betfair Live Video

Germany's premier capital club went from looking almost certain to claim a Champions League spot in late March, sitting third, six points clear of Borussia Monchengladbach in fifth with seven Bundesliga fixtures to play, to being grateful to cling on for a Europa League berth in seventh after earning only two points from a possible 21.
Whether they are over that isn't yet apparent, though Brondby's five past failures to reach the Europa League group stage coupled with near-elimination at home to Hibernian last week, getting by on penalties, will leave Hertha confident of progress.
They are a short price for victory, so consider selecting under 2.5 goals at 1.83. It paid out in six of their past eight continental contests, as well as both legs of Brondby's tie with Hibs, which delivered a mere two in total.
Recommended Bet: Back under 2.5 goals @ 1.83


Away in Europe last season, West Ham beat Andorra’s Lusitanos 1-0 and were felled 1-0 by Malta’s Birkirkara before exiting with a 2-1 loss to Romania’s Astra Giurgiu."
Recommended Bet: Lay West Ham to win at Domzale @ 1.61
Domzale 6.80 v West Ham 1.60; The Draw 4.30
Thursday, 19:45
Live on BT Sport 2

West Ham are strong favourites to win the away leg of their double header with the side who finished third in the Slovenian PrvaLiga, but there are several reasons to suspect that they are worth the lay at 1.61.
The first is their unconvincing travelling displays in last season's competition despite entering two rounds earlier and therefore theoretically facing less taxing teams. They beat Andorra's Lusitanos 1-0 and were felled 1-0 by Malta's Birkirkara before exiting with a 2-1 loss to Romania's Astra Giurgiu.
Domzale should be more prepared for the task at hand than their guests after blasting through two rounds, prevailing in both home encounters, and playing two league games. The Irons by contrast have won just one of their five friendlies, being turned over 3-0 in two of those.
Recommended Bet: Lay West Ham to win @ 1.61

St Etienne 1.72 v AEK Athens 6.00; The Draw 3.90
Thursday, 20:00
Live on Betfair Live Video

Whereas the two showdowns above pit a club already up and running against fresh entrants, both of these clubs are kicking off their campaigns with this third qualifying round clash.
St Etienne were granted their participation for taking sixth place in Ligue 1 and AEK Athens for coming third and lifting the cup on their return to Greece's top tier.
The hosts appear to be deserving frontrunners at 1.72. Their tally of ten Ligue 1 triumphs in front of their fans was bettered by only four rivals, while they won three and drew the others of their most recent five Europa League matches in France.
AEK Athens on the other hand have lost a substantial eight of their last 12 European road trips.

Recommended Bet: Back St Etienne to win @ 1.72

Atletico Madrid v Borussia Dortmund: In-form Germans will score again

Atletico Madrid  1.84  v Borussia Dortmund  5.10 ; The Draw  3.75 Tuesday 6 November, 20:00 Live on BT Sport Extra Borussia mark themselves out as contenders with Atletico thumping The reverse fixture produced one of the shock results in the last round of  Champions League  games, as Borussia Dortmund thrashed Atletico Madrid 4-0 at home. Dortmund's margin of victory against such an experienced European outfit, famed for their defensive solidity, was a major show of intent and marks them out as real contenders to win the competition. At the weekend they continued their fine form with a 1-0 win at  Wolfsburg , which stretched their unbeaten record this season (P17 W14 D3 L0). Lucien Favre's  side are now four points clear at the top of the Bundesliga, which is the same number that currently separates Atletico Madrid from the La Liga leaders Barcelona. A 1-1 draw at Leganes over the weekend, stretched Atletico's unbeaten run in their d...

Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund: Eagles to build a wall in Berlin

Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund Saturday 27 May, 19:00 Live on BT Sport ESPN Eintracht Frankfurt This time last season, Eintracht Frankfurt were  fighting for survival  in a Bundesliga playoff against second-tier side Nurnberg. Fast forward a year, and they are preparing for their first major cup final since 2006, having finished well clear of relegation trouble this term. Having steered the Eagles through that playoff against Nurnberg, coach  Niko Kovac  set about galvanising not just the squad, but the entire club. Working with sporting director Bruno Hubner and former Germany striker Fredi Bobic,  Kovac has injected new life into an organisation that was drifting. Youngsters like defender  Jesus Vallejo  and forward Ante Rebic have been brought in on loan to good effect, and astute pickups like holding midfielder Omar Mascarell and forward Branimir Hrgota have become effective cogs in the machine. Although Frankfurt have twice...

Real Madrid v Plzen: Back hosts' scoring struggles to continue

Real Madrid  1.09  v Plzen  40.00 ; The Draw  15.00 Tuesday 23 October, 20:00 Live on BT Sport ESPN Lopetegui on brink as Madrid malaise continues Ordinarily this match would almost be guaranteed to be a routine home win that had the potential to be embarrassing for the visitors, but these are not ordinary times at  Real Madrid . The Spanish giants are now without a win in their last five games (D1 L4), after losing 2-1 at home to Levante at the weekend.  Marcelo's  72nd minute goal broke a painful spell of 481 accumulated minutes without a goal. Unsurprisingly,  Julen Lopetegui  is under huge pressure and it would be no surprise if he were sacked before this match takes place on Tuesday. If he survives the game and it's aftermath, then Sunday's El Clasico could finish him off. Despite Real's abject form, it would still be a massive shock if they failed to beat Viktoria Plzen, who were thrashed 5-0 by Roma in their most recent...
