Europa League Betting Tips & Predictions: Pino Goal Trail to Continue

After three gameweeks in European football’s second-tier competition we have five sides from five different nations sitting with perfect records.

Let’s take a look at some Europa League odds and see if those records will still be standing by close of play tonight.

All of this evening’s plays are available to back with 10Bet and you can find out more about their new customer bonus here. 

Bayer Never-Losin’?

Perhaps the most impressive starters in this season’s Europa League have been Bayer Leverkusen, who have won all of their opening three matches without conceding.

Next up for them is the visit of Marseille, who have had a disastrous start to the league phase, losing all three games and scoring only once.

You could point to their Ligue 1 form, which has seen them win all of their last four, but those victories have come against four of the bottom seven sides in the division and they have still shipped five goals in that run.

I’m following European form here I'm liking the Europa League odds for a Home Win to Nil at 6/4.

Spanish Value on Home Soil

They’re sitting a lowly 25th in the Europa League table but Celta Vigo have been on the wrong side of some bad luck in the opening three gameweeks.

Losses in both of their opening games came via late winners from Omonia Nicosia and Italian giants Juventus, but they were excellent in their victory at Celtic last time out.

At home, they’re unbeaten in four La Liga games and welcome Royale Union Saint-Gilloise to the Balaidos Stadium this evening.

The Belgians are sixth in the table with two wins and a draw but they’ve had a much easier start to the campaign than tonight’s opponents and will find it tough here.

I fancy the hosts to get something and I’m backing the draw at 13/5. 

Pino Primed For Hoffenheim Visit

It’s been a tough start for them in the Premier League, but Crystal Palace have emerged from a tricky opening three Europa League matches in midtable.

Hoffenheim head to Selhurst Park tonight and the Bundesliga side sit one point below their hosts after beating Lyon 3-0 last time out.

Palace’s form has been inconsistent but they’ve so far been able to rely on the threat of Yeremy Pino, who has scored in all three matches in this competition.

Tonight he faces a side that has conceded 16 goals in their opening eight Bundesliga matches, so chances will surely come for the Spaniard. He’s currently a generous 27/10 to score anytime in this one. 

Benfica Marching On

Last up are Benfica, who begin the week top of the table after three wins and ten goals to their name.

They began the campaign with a superb away win at AC Milan, before thrashing Omonia and Celtic without breaking sweat.

Next for the Portuguese side are Lech Poznan, who have just one point so far and have also taken thrashings from Leverkusen and Palace in their opening trio of games.

This is a Benfica side that went the whole of last season unbeaten at home domestically, and although the Polish outfit are top of the pile in the Ekstraklasa, they’re without an away clean sheet so far this season.

I can’t see anything other than a comfortable home win here, so let’s jump into the handicap markets and go for Benfica -2 at even-money.
