    AC Milan v Rennes

    Europa League match at the San Siro, Milan
    TV: TNT Sports, 8pm

    AC Milan to Win

    Both sides come into this great shape, Milan have won four and draw one of their last five, as have Rennes (winning one on penalties). On home soil, Milan have won three, drawn one, and lost one, scoring 11 and conceding six. Rennes on their recent travels have won five on the trot but their away European games this season only saw them beating Panathinaikos and Maccabi Haifa, losing to Villarreal. The French will make it a tough night but Milan’s form against strong sides should see them coming out on top.

    Ruben Loftus-Cheek to have 1 or more Shots on Target

    Former Chelsea man, Ruben Loftus-Cheek has certainly been finding his stride of late in Italy, scoring four goals over his last seven for the Rossoneri and averages 1.2 shots per game. In such goal-hungry form, we’re getting some decent odds here for him to land at least one shot on target.

        Benfica v Toulouse

        Europa League match at Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica, Lisbon
        TV: TNT Sports, 8pm

        Arthur Cabral to Score

        Benfica are obviously quite short odds to take the victory here. The hosts are joint top of the Portugues league while their French opponents are just two places above the Ligue Un relegation zone. Their Brazilian striker, Arthur Cabra has been in mighty form of late, bagging four goals over his last four for the Eagles and he loves cup competition, scoring four in the Portuguese cups so far this season, as well as one in Europe and bagged eight for previous club Fiorentina on their path to last season’s Europa Conference League final against West Ham. We’re backing him to add to his tally.

        Ajax v Bodo Glimt

        Europa Conference League match at the Johan Cruijff Arena, Amsterdam
        TV: TNT Sports, 8pm

        Ajax to Win

        Ajax are back up to fifth in the Eredivisie after what was a terrible start to their campaign. Their Europa League group stage saw them winning just one of their six games so now find themselves in the Conference League. Since their last European game, a 3-1 win over AEK Athens, they’ve played seven, winning three, drawing two, and losing two.

        Bodo Glimt haven’t played a competitive game since a 1-3 loss away to Club Brugge, playing four friendlies of which they won two and lost two. They haven’t a snowball’s here.

        Betis v Dinamo Zagreb

        Europa Conference League match at the Estadio Benito Villamarin, Sevilla
        TV: TNT Sports, 8pm

        Betis to Win

        Hard not to see the hosts winning here. They’ve won three, drawn one, and lost one of their last five. Dinamo Zagreb’s results of late have seen them winning two, drawing one, and losing one since their winter break. They’ve actually played 11 European games this season, across all three competitions but have only won five, two of which were against lowly Astana, and only won one of the road so this one should have ‘home win’ written all over it.
