Matchday 3: Thursday, October 265th, 2023
Olympiacos vs West Ham United
UEL Odds: Olympiacos +208; West Ham United +101
Thursday, October 26th at 12:45 pm ET
Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, Piraeus, Greece
Home squad Olympiacos is in terrific form. The Greek Super League team has won 3 with a draw in their last 4. The three wins, over Kifisia, Aris, and Pas Giannina, were by a combined 11 goals to 1.
But although Olympiacos has dominated their league opponents, the team lost their last Europa League match and it wasn’t versus a very good team, TSC Backa Topola. West Ham fell to Aston in their last. This is a big step down. The EPL squad gets the win.

SK Sturm Graz vs Atalanta
UEL Odds: SK Sturm Graz +310; Atalanta -118
Thursday, October 26th at 12:45 pm ET
Merkur Arena, Graz, Austria
Austrian Bundesliga squad Sturm Graz is playing great soccer. The home dog in this has won 4 straight. Sturm Graz is undefeated in October.
Atalanta has 3 wins, a draw, and a loss in their last 5. The loss came in a Serie A match versus rival Lazio. In their last Europa League match, Atalanta blasted Sporting CP 2-1 on the road. The Serie A team faces a hungry opponent but should be too much for home side.

AS Roma vs Slavia Prague
UEL Odds: AS Roma -137; Slavia Prague +380
Thursday, October 26th at 3:00 pm ET
Olimpico, Roma, Italy
Slavia Prague is playing well, but the underdog must travel to Italy to take on scorching Roma.
The favorite in this has won 4 straight. Although none of the wins came against top competition, Roma’s excellent form is undeniable. Not only that, but Roma beat Servette 4-0 in their last Europa League match.

Bayer Leverkusen vs FK Qarabag
UEL Odds: Bayer Leverkusen -1.5 -175; FK Qarabag +1.5 +132
Thursday, October 26th at 3:00 pm ET
BayArena, Leverkusen, Germany
Qarabag is a quality club. Like Leverkusen, Qarabag has 6 points in the group. So the road team is good enough to keep this closer than the spread.
However, Bayer Leverkusen is one of the Bundesliga’s top teams. This season, Leverkusen is in a fight with Bayern Munich for the top spot on the Bundesliga Standings. Leverkusen has won their last couple of home games 4-1 against Heidenheim and 3-0 versus Cologne.
Playing against Leverkusen is tough. But the payout makes laying -1.5 impossible. Grab the +1.5 on the dog and hope the favorite only wins by a goal.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Ajax Amsterdam
UEL Odds: Brighton & Hove Albion -1.5 -128; Ajax Amsterdam +1.5 +103
Thursday, October 26th at 12:45 pm ET
Amex Stadium, Falmer, England
Neither squad is in great form. If we back Brighton, though, we can expect a -128 payout and we must lay 1.5 goals.
Brighton doesn’t often win by 2 or more goals. Ajax isn’t as good as they have been in the past. However, they can for sure keep any loss to within a goal. Amsterdam gets the nod.
Europa League Pick: Ajax Amsterdam +1.5 | Bet Brighton & Hove Albion vs Ajax Amsterdam Today

Liverpool vs Toulouse
UEL Odds: Liverpool -2.5 +130 vs Toulouse +2.5 -170
Thursday, October 26th at 12:45 pm ET
Anfield, Liverpool, England
The hook makes Liverpool difficult to back. The Reds have won 3-of-5 and all 3 wins came by 2 goals.
Toulouse, though, is a Ligue 1 squad that must travel to Anfield. Liverpool gets the attack going early and cruises to a 3-0 or 4-1 victory.
Europa League Pick: Liverpool -2.5 | Bet Liverpool vs Toulouse Today
