Lazio vs. Ludogorets

Lazio have been the standout team in the Europa League this season, and they are the only remaining team with a 100% record.

Ludogorets look hard to support based on the fact that they have won just two of their last 24 away matches in Europe. A home win for the high-flying team from Rome looks a likely outcome at the Stadio Olimpico.

Athletic Bilbao vs. Elfsborg

Elfsborg have suffered defeats in all three of their matches against Spanish opposition, and they have failed to hit their stride in the final third this season.

The Swedish side have recorded just two shots when they have been ahead. Athletic Bilbao ticks plenty of boxes, as they look a good chance to record a fourth straight win in the Europa League. 

AZ Alkmaar vs. Galatasaray

AZ have avoided defeat in their seven matches against teams from Turkey, with Galatasaray looking six of their eight matches against Dutch teams. The hosts have won their opening two home matches this season.

However, the in-form visitors could prove to be the value angle based on their attacking form, recording 92 shots, with 37 being on target in their four matches.

Anderlecht vs. Porto

Anderlecht are enjoying a fine period in Europe, having lost just once in their last nine. Meanwhile, they have won each of their four home matches against Porto.

The Portuguese side have picked up just one win in their last 14 on the road, and have conceded 33 goals across that period. Therefore, a home win could be the most appealing angle based on the trends.

Besiktas vs. Maccabi Tel Aviv

Besiktas have avoided defeat in all six of their previous matches against clubs from Israel. They come into this round after winning each of their last two, but they haven’t recorded three successive wins since 2011-12.

Maccabi Tel Aviv are pointless in the Europa League, and their five-game losing sequence doesn’t look likely to end on Thursday. 

Qarabag vs. Lyon

Qarabag have struggled against French opposition, winning just once in their last ten.

The Azerbaijani club also has the lowest win rate of any side that has played over 20 matches in the Europa League. Lyon’s form in Europe has been reliable, but struggles have been endured on the road. Therefore, a draw may not be out of the question.

Ferencvaros vs. Malmo

Malmo’s poor record in the Europa League is worth consideration this week. The Swedish side have lost eleven of their last 12 in the competition, and have suffered defeats in 63% of their last 32 matches.

Ferencvaros have won their last two without conceding, and they could be primed to win three straight matches to nil for the first time since 1967-68.

Nice vs. Rangers

Rangers have avoided defeat on their last five trips to France, winning twice and playing out two draws. Nice have trailed for 70% of their matches in the Europa League this season.

The Gers have been excellent on the road in Europe, going five without defeat. However, the fact that three draws have been played out could be a telling factor.

Braga vs. Hoffenheim

Braga have picked up victories in four of their last six matches against German teams. Meanwhile, the Portuguese side recorded two wins against Hoffenheim in the 2017-18 Europa League campaign.

However, they come into this match after losing three of their last five at home. A close encounter is likely on Thursday, but the narrow preference is for the attack-minded visitors.

Real Sociedad vs. Ajax

Ajax have won two of their last 12 matches against Spanish sides on the road, but both wins have come across their last three visits.

Sociedad have already suffered defeats in each of their two home matches this season. Ajax’s attacking threat makes them the play on Thursday after netting a Europa League-high of 13 goals.
