Thursday's Football Betting Tips
Today sees a day dominated by European qualification games, with the Europa League the dominant force of the schedule, but with a few teams closer to home also taking to the grass in the Conference League.
Starting with the latter, Scottish duo Motherwell and Hibs are both in action. Motherwell welcome HJK to Fir Park, whilst Hibs are on the road, heading to Shkendija. Dublin-based Shelbourne, meanwhile, welcome European giants Ajax.
In the Europa League, we have a real variety of matches. Hearts vs Benfica is a big one, albeit with the tie all but over, with Hearts having lost 6-1 last time out. Rangers, meanwhile, remain alive and kicking. They host Jagiellonia Bialystok, aiming to overturn a 2-1 deficit.
Omonia vs Lincoln Red Imps is finely balanced, with the first leg having ended 1-1, whilst Craiova vs KuPS is subject to the same conditions. There are then a series of matches where one side has the advantage. Gornik vs Ferencvaros and Kl vs Lech are the most likely for comebacks, with trailing sides holding home advantage in the second legs.
Motherwell vs HJK: Motherwell to win
- HJK do not have an amazing away record, having suffered two defeats in their last four games on the road.
- Motherwell are undefeated across their last five games in all competitions, winning three and drawing two.
Hearts vs Benfica: Over 3.5 goals
- Hearts have gone over 3.5 goals in each of their last two games, while Benfica have broken that threshold in each of their last four. Both sides have averaged 5.5 goals per game across those respective periods.
- The first leg, played in Portugal last week, saw seven goals hitting the net, as Benfica ran riot in a 6-1 victory.

Other Tournaments
We've covered off Europe's top five leagues above, which is important because they do dominate headlines and betting slips on a day-to-day basis. Our football betting tips do not stop there, though.

Types Of Football Bets You Can Place Today
The list below will give you a better understanding of the types of bets you can make with football betting tips today but, remember, this is far from exhaustive with bookies offering hundreds of different betting markets.
Match Result – Win Draw Win
With Match Result betting, you're betting either on one side to win or the match to end in a draw. Example: Bet on Real Madrid to beat Barcelona
- The match ends 1-1. Your bet loses❌
- The match ends 1-0 to Real Madrid. Your bet wins✔️
BTTS – Both Teams To score
With BTTS/BTTS – No, you bet on whether two teams can score in a game or not. Example: Bet on “BTTS – Yes” in the Tottenham vs Chelsea game.
- The match ends 3-0 to Tottenham. Your bet loses as one of the teams didn't score. ❌
- The match ends 2-1 to Tottenham. Your bet wins as both teams scored. ✔️
Goalscorer betting
This class of bet means you bet on a player to score in the game. There are a few variations. Some example bets include:
- Erling Haaland to score a hat-trick vs Bournemouth – 5/1
- Kane to score first – 3/1
- Yamal to score anytime vs Real Madrid – 6/4
Total Goals (Over / Under)
This type of bet involves predicting how many goals will be scored in a game. To avoid a “push”, Over / Under bets often refer to an imaginary “half-goal”. Example:
- Over 2.5 goals (90 mins) – 4/7
- Under 1.5 goals in the first half – 1/2
- Paris Saint-Germain to score over 2.5 goals – 5/4
