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.
Bodo/Glimt vs Porto: Porto to win @ 1/1 (2.00)
We kick off our Europa League betting predictions with Bodo/Glimt vs Porto and we’re backing Porto to win the match. It’s hard to back this tip up from a cold hard stats perspective because Bodo/Glimt are in an exceptionally strong run of form. That being noted, Porto are in a decent run of form too with only one defeat in 20 games and the Portuguese side are well versed in European competition with plenty of experience in the Champions League, which is a step above this competition. That should stand them in good stead to get a win here.
Roma vs Athletic Bilbao: Athletic Bilbao or draw @ 4/5 (1.80)
Roma’s Stadio Olimpico is a notoriously difficult stadium to visit but at 4/5 (1.80) we think the value on Bilbao to avoid defeat is really strong. Including pre-season, Roma have only won two of their last 10 matches and, right now, they’re winless in four games including their first three competitive games of the new campaign. Bilbao meanwhile are a highly capable side on their day and have avoided defeat in five of their last 10 matches. It’s also noteworthy that the last head to head meeting between these sides ended 2-2 despite Bilbao playing 30 minutes with 10 men.
Ajax vs Besiktas: Over 2.5 goals @ 8/11 (1.73)
Last but not least we wrap our Europa League tips up with a total goals wager backing over 2.5 goals to be scored as Ajax host Besiktas. Ajax have gone north of 2.5 goals in each of their last three games with a total of 11 goals in that period whilst Besiktas have gone over 2.5 goals in three of their past four matches with a game average of 5.0 goals.
