Europa League Predictions

Here are our free betting tips and Europa League predictions for the next round of the Europa League 2024-25 accompanied, as always, by the latest and best odds available.

Fenerbahce vs Man United: Fenerbahce or draw @ Odds TBC

We could not start our Europa League tips anywhere else, could we? A shambolic Man United travel to Turkey to face Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce. There is a lot that can change between now and when this game is played but, right now, we see Fenerbahce frustrating United and earning at least a draw from the match. Fenerbahce have lost only one competitive home match since March 14th. Man United meanwhile are very fragile at this moment in time, lacking a cutting edge, giving cheap goals away and, most importantly, winless in four matches. The Red Devils have also lost on their last two visits to Fenerbahce.

Tottenham vs AZ Alkmaar: Brennan Johnson to score anytime @ Odds TBC

We again focus on an English team with our second Europa League pick. This time we’re positive about their chances though as we back Tottenham’s Brennan Johnson to score anytime as Spurs host AZ. Tottenham, especially at home, will create plenty of chances and, at the moment, Johnson is scoring for fun. The former Nottingham Forest man has netted in five straight games and, remarkably, he’s not played 90 minutes in any of them!

Lyon vs Besiktas: Over 3.5 goals @ Odds TBC

See, we’re not all about the English teams; our final betting prediction sees us backing Lyon and Besiktas to share at least four goals when they meet in a couple of weeks time. Lyon have gone over the 3.5 marker in two of their last four matches with a game average of 3.8 goals whilst Besiktas have gone over 3.5 goals in two of their last three with 11 goals seen in that period. On top of that, these sides have faced off in this competition before; the last meeting ended 2-2 with all four goals coming inside the opening hour. Whoever will qualify for the final, one thing you can bet on is that taking advantage of the bet365 bonus code and/or the William Hill new customer promo code is always a good idea!
