St Etienne beat Man Utd
We waste no time going in with a bold call, but I believe Manchester United have done everything they need to in the first-leg, and will look to remain competitive in France and stay within the three-goal margin. We saw against Hull in the League Cup that, if they don’t have to win, they won’t. 12/5 is worth a pop.
Ajax beat Legia Warsaw
Moving on to Thursday’s ties and the Dutch giants got out of the first leg away from home win a 0-0 draw, which is always handy in this competition. Back in front of their own fans they have to be fancied to score and make a game of this, and traders agree, giving 2/5 on the locals.
Besiktas beat Hapoel Beer Sheva
Sheva have proven themselves to be a tough side to beat on their own patch, with Celtic struggling there earlier in the season, but they were hammered 3-1 by Besiktas last week, and The Black Eagles will want to put on a show for their support, now that they are through. Besiktas to win in Turkey is always worth having, especially at 3/4.
Roma beat Villarreal
I fancied Villarreal to make a game of this in Spain, but Roma were true to their Serie A form and completely wiped the floor with their opponents, taking a 4-0 lead back to Italy. We can’t argue with a result like that and the home win makes sense at 7/10.
Copenhagen beat Ludogorets
Ludogorets’ European adventure appears to be over and they travel to Copenhagen hurting from a 2-1 home defeat. This tie remains in the balance, meaning Copenhagen must go out and push for a cushion. 7/10 will do us a turn.
Tottenham beat Gent
Spurs lost the first leg 1-0, but they had plenty of chances before the goal, and wasted them. They won’t be so generous in their own backyard and I am confident that the Premier League side will win and get themselves through at 2/7.
