With the Europa League group stage drawing to a close on, the likes of Tottenham and Manchester United will steal centre stage.
As the race for a top-eight finish is going down to the wire, we have 18 Europa League battles from across the continent.
For those of you looking to stick on a Thursday flutter, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Europa League betting tips.
20:00 Tottenham vs Elfsborg
Suffering an infamous collapse over the weekend as they fell to a 2-1 loss at home against relegation scrappers Leicester, Tottenham find themselves at the heart of a public crisis. With the pressure on Ange Postecoglou’s shoulders now at a boiling point, Spurs have broken a string of unwanted records this season. Despite landing a dramatic 3-2 victory when they travelled over to German outfit Hoffenheim last week, Thursday’s hosts have lost each of their other three appearances across all competitions. Although Spurs might be sat in the driving seat to punch a top-eight finish here, Tottenham have gained a reputation for their glaring defensive issues. In fact, Postecoglou’s side have conceded at least a pair of goals in six of their previous seven home fixtures across all fronts. Dealing with an injury crisis in north London, the Lilywhites know the importance of overcoming what would be an infamous banana skin here.
Although Elfsborg might have endured their own domestic struggle last season, the Swedish giants have continued to shine while on the European stage. With the 2024 Allsvenskan campaign drawing to a close back in November, Thursday’s guests have their full attention on Europa League action. Last seen collecting another scalp as they clinched a 1-0 victory against French outfit Nice, Oscar Hiljemark’s side have secured consecutive European victories. Claiming what was an iconic 1-0 win against Italian giants Roma on October 3rd, Elfsborg will certainly be relishing a trip to north London here. However, despite looking to officially book their play-off ticket with another sensational display, Elfsborg have drastically struggled to find any kind of stability on foreign soil. Last seen on their travels falling to a 3-0 drumming against Athletic Bilbao, Hiljemark’s men have lost their previous three showdowns outside of Boras by an aggregate score of 10-5.

20:00 Olympiacos vs Qarabag
Making real history last season as they got their hands on a maiden piece of European silverware, Olympiacos have once again continued to shine this time around. Crowned Europa Conference League winners last summer, the Greek giants find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Leading the chase at the top of the Super League standings, Thursday’s hosts are unbeaten in all of their previous 18 consecutive appearances across all competitions. With that purple patch stemming all the way back to October 27th, Olympiacos have also not suffered a single defeat in front of their own supporters so far this season. Last seen in Europa League action putting in another stellar display as they clinched a 1-0 victory away at Portuguese icons Porto, Jose Luis Mendilibar’s side will be desperately seeking a repeat performance when they return to Piraeus on Thursday night.
While Qarabag might find themselves sat in the driving seat to punch a fourth consecutive domestic title in 2025, the Horsemen have endured a real European nightmare. Last seen in Europa League action falling to an action-packed 3-2 loss at home against FCSB, Thursday’s guests have lost six of their seven performances this season and have already seen their play-off dreams go up in smoke. Putting just three points on the board from a possible 21 and battling it out at the foot of the table, Qarabag have also lost all of their previous three Europa League showdowns by an aggregate score of 7-3. Getting their European adventure underway with a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Tottenham on September 26th, the Blacks have also continued to show some glaring defensive struggles. Continuing on from last season, Gurban Gurbanov’s side have conceded at least a pair of goals in 10 of their previous 11 Europa League matchups.
