    Feyenoord v Roma

    Europa League match at Stadion Feijenoord, Rotterdam
    TV: TNT Sports, 5:45pm

    Over 2.5 Goals

    Both teams come into this clash in good shape. The hosts are unbeaten over their last nine games, winning four and drawing one of their last five in all competitions. Roma have played four games since Daniele De Rossi took over from Jose Mourinho, wining three and losing one, scoring 10 goals over those four matches. With the hosts scoring eight over their last home league games, we should be seeing at least three goals scored here.

    Paulo Dybala to have 1 or more Shots on Target

    Romelu Lukaku will lead the line for Roma against Feyenoord but he’s only hit the back of the net once since De Rossi’s taken over the hotseat. Paulo Dybala have three goals over those four games and has nine Serie A goals and six assists so far this season. With an average of 2.4 shots per game, he should be landing at least one on target.

        Galatasaray v Sparta Prague

        Europa League match at RAMS Park, Istanbul
        TV: TNT Sports, 8pm

        Over 2.5 Goals

        Goals should be on the menu here as well. Galatasaray have now gone 12 games without a loss and have scored a very healthy 22 goals over their last seven fixtures. On home soil, the Turkish side have won nine in a row, scoring 15 goals oover their last five, conceding five.

        Sparta Prague have only played one competitive game this season, a 0-3 away last weekend in the league. Their away European form this season is pretty bad with just one win and three losses but scored six goals over those four games so we’re likely looking at a 2-1, 3-0 or 3-1 here so we’re going with Over 2.5 Goals.

        Shakhtar Donetsk v Marseille

        Europa League match at the Volksparkstadion, Hamburg
        TV: TNT Sports, 5:45pm

        Under 2.5 Goals

        Shakhtar Donetsk haven’t played a competitive game since December 13th, an away Champions League 5-3 loss to Porto. They’ve played seven friendlies since but not really against anyone of much quality. Marseille’s form has really taken a dive of late, they’re winless over their last five, drawing four and losing one, and have scored just five goals. Hard to see many being scored here, so we’re backing Under 2.5 Goals.

        Young Boys v Sporting

        Europa League match at the Stadion Wankdorf, Bern
        TV: TNT Sports, 5:45pm

        Both Teams to Score, No Draw

        Sporting are the favourites here, they’ve won 11 of their last 12 in all competitions and have scored a rather impressive 21 goals over their last five fixtures. Young Boys won’t be shy of giving it a go here, they beat Maccabi and Red Star Belgrade at home in Europe this season and were 1-3 losers to both RB Leipzig and Manchester City.

        Sporting have struggled on their European travels this season, winning one and drawing two but their goal-scoring of late has greatly improved. Both teams should be scoring here but we don’t see it ending level, especially since both sides have scored 10 and 21 goals over their last five matches.
