FK Krasnodar v Trabzonspor - 17:55

On the back of a crucial 2-0 away win against Trabzonspor, I’m backing Krasnodar to repeat the trick on home soil.

Thursday’s visitors have just one point from their three Europa League matches thus far, and the defeat to the Russians a fortnight ago all-but scuppered their hopes of qualifying.

No such issues for Krasnodar, who can close the gap on Basel and Getafe at the top of Group C with a victory here, and considering they’re unbeaten at home domestically, I’m confident they’ll claim the points.  

FK Krasnodar - 1pt @ 6/10

Braga v Besiktas - 20:00

Braga sit at the top of Group K, and they look set to beat pointless Besiktas at home.

It’s been a pretty miserable campaign for the Turkish outfit, who have also lost three of their five away games in the Turkish Super Lig.

Braga have won five of their last seven matches in all competitions, and considering they beat Besiktas 2-1 in Istanbul, a home win this time around looks the most likely result by some distance.

Braga - 1pt @ 11/17

Olexandria v St Etienne - 20:00

My final pick is the big value shot, as Olexandria at 37/10 to beat St. Etienne at home is massively overpriced.

Both sides are locked on two points at the bottom of Group I following their 1-1 draw in France, and yet St. Etienne are odds-on favourites despite playing two home games compared to Olexandria’s one.

Furthermore, St. Etienne have lost three of their last five Ligue 1 away games, and it seems odd that the Ukrainians are such big outsiders considering their tougher start, positive result in the first match and home advantage.

37/10 is well worth taking to push the value of this treble up to 10/1.
