UEFA Europa League Winning Picks for Matchday 5

If you are a fan of soccer, you are certainly in a great part of the season, as we have all kinds of leagues and tournaments in full swing right now.

The international break came last week, but with domestic leagues returning to action over the weekend, we now turn our attention to European competitions.

Europa League Betting Analysis

The Champions League will see their games played on Tuesday and Wednesday, after which we get a full slate of Europa League games on Thursday.

We are halfway through the league portion of the tournament in the Europa League, with Matchday 5 almost upon us.

The top 8 teams head into the knockout phase, while teams 9 through 24 go into the playoffs, so a lot still to play for right now.

Let’s take a look at the games we like on Thursday.

Anderlecht +216 vs Porto +120 Draw 234

When: Thursday, November 28, 2024, 12:45 PM
Where: Lotto Park, Brussels, Belgium
UEL Pick: Anderlecht 3-2 Porto

If the league portion of the tournament ended today, Anderlecht would take one of the top 8 spots, as they are currently sitting in 5th. They have picked up 10 points from a possible 12 after winning their first 3 games and drawing in Matchday 4.

Anderlecht has scored 7 goals and surrendered just 3. Porto are not in the best possible spot right now, as they are clinging to life in one of the playoff spots, although only just. They are 22nd overall, with just 4 points thus far. Porto has scored 8 and surrendered 8, so we might get goals here.

Midtjylland +238 vs Frankfurt +104 Draw +250

When: Thursday, November 28, 2024, 3:00 PM
Where: MCH Arena, Herning, Denmark
UEL Pick: Midtjylland 0-1 Frankfurt

The last matchday proved to be a tough one for Midtjylland, as they took their first loss of the tournament after winning 2 in a row and drawing their opener. That has left them sitting outside the top 8 in 13th, but a win here might well move them back into the automatic qualification spots.

They tend to keep things tight, scoring 4 times and surrendering just 3 through 4 games. Frankfurt is up in 4th at the moment, taking 10 points from a possible 12. They opened with a draw, but they have since won 3 in a row. They have scored 8 and surrendered 4.

Manchester United -450 vs Bodo Glimt +980 Draw +530

When: Thursday, November 28, 2024, 3:00 PM
Where: Old Trafford, Manchester, England
UEL Pick: Man U 2-0 Bodo Glimt

With the Premier League already off the table for United, they will be looking for silverware elsewhere. They have some work to do if they are to move into the top 8, as Manchester United is currently down in 15th. They are unbeaten through 4 games, but 3 draws have hurt them in terms of the standings.

United has scored 7 and surrendered 5. Bodo Glimt is sitting 1 point ahead of United in the table, taking 7 points from their opening 4 games. They have scored 6 and surrendered 5, but this is a tough trip.

Tottenham -143 vs AS Roma +320 Draw +310

When: Thursday, November 28, 2024, 3:00 PM
Where: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, England
UEL Pick: Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Tottenham had an opportunity to move to the top of the table in Matchday 4, but a 3-2 loss to Galatasaray dropped them down to 7th, 3 points back of Lazio, who remain unbeaten through the opening 4 games. When you consider that Galatasaray are in 3rd place, it was not what you would consider a bad loss for Spurs.

They have scored 8 and surrendered 4 to this point. Roma needs to start picking up some points if they are to stay in the competition. Thus far, they have 5 points from 4 games, with their lone victory coming against bottom of the table Dynamo Kyiv.

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.

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.
