Thursday's Europa League treble is priced at 4/1!
LASK Linz v AZ Alkmaar - 17:55
AZ Alkmaar and LASK drew their first-leg 1-1, and it’s the latter who I see winning this second-leg at home.
LASK, who have comprehensively won their three Europa League home games against Rosenborg, PSV and Sporting, will fancy their chances on Thursday, particularly because AZ have lost three of their last four in all competitions.
The home side are great value here.
Salzburg v Eintracht Frankfurt - 20:00
Despite comprehensively winning the first-leg at home, I’m backing against Eintracht Frankfurt as they travel to Salzburg.
This is partly because their 4-1 home win allows them to lose this game by a couple of goals and still qualify, but they also played in the Bundesliga as recently as Monday (a defeat to Union Berlin).
Furthermore, Eintracht have lost seven of their last 11 away games, and despite Salzburg being without the recently-departed Erling Haaland, they should still win on the night, even if it’s not enough to overturn the large first-leg deficit.
Celtic v FC Copenhagen - 20:00
Finally, I have Celtic beating FC Copenhagen at home.
Celtic will be content with a 1-1 draw in Denmark, and their four excellent home wins in this competition—most notably against an outstanding Lazio side—will give them the confidence to win this tie.
The visitors have lost five of their last eight away games in the league, and these struggles on the road will cost them dearly at Celtic Park.
