UEFA Europa League Odds for Group Stage Games of Matchday 6 | MyBookie Soccer Preview

2023–24 UEFA Europa League | 53rd season of Europe’s premier club football tournament
Matchday 6: Thursday, December 14th, 2023

Stade Rennais vs Villarreal

UEL Odds: Stade Rennais +115 vs Villarreal +220
Hour: 12:45 pm ET
Roazhon Park, Rennes, France

Stade Rennais was on a 2-match winning streak, but in their last couple of games, things haven’t gone their way. Marseille beat the home team in this 2-0 and then in their next game, AS Monaco got by Stade Rennais 2-1.

Villarreal has 2 draws and a loss in their last 3. The road team in this matchup fell to Champions League participant Sociedad in their last. Villarreal is a solid club. The odds make the road team playable.

St. Gilloise vs Liverpool

UEL Odds: Union St-Gilloise +175 vs Liverpool +140
Hour: 12:45 pm ET
Lotto Park, Brussels, Belgium

Liverpool has notched their ticket to the Round of 16. So it makes sense that Pool, which is likely to hold back the attack some, offers just a +140 moneyline.

Union St-Gilloise has won 3-of-5 with a couple of draws. USG is playing for pride. But Liverpool, even if they start backups, is the better team. A draw is possible. A Union St-Gilloise outright win? Not so much.

Europa League Pick: Draw

Brighton vs Marseille

UEL Odds: Brighton & Hove Albion -1 +100 vs Marseille +1 -120
Hour: 3:00 pm ET
Amex Stadium, Falmer, England

Brighton has won 3 with a loss and a draw in their last 5. The home team in this offers a decent payout to lay a goal.

But Marseille is a quality Ligue 1 team. The road squad has won 4 straight and is a point ahead of Brighton in the group. Taking the +1 makes some sense because neither team will be overly motivated to win this.

Europa League Pick: Marseille +1

Betis vs Rangers

UEL Odds: Real Betis -130 vs Rangers FC +325
Hour: 3:00 pm ET
Amex Stadium, Falmer, England

Betis shows a win and a couple of draws in their last 5. The home team in this is playing decent soccer because the draw in the last came versus Real Madrid.

The Rangers are on a 3 match winning streak. The group is tight with 3 of the 4 teams, Betis, the Rangers, and Sparta, within a point or 2 points of each other. Betis steps it up on their pitch.

Europa League Pick: Real Betis

Sporting vs Sturm Graz

UEL Odds: Sporting CP -1 +115 vs SK Sturm Graz +1 -135
Hour: 3:00 pm ET
Estádio José Alvalade, Lisbon, Portugal

SK Sturm Graz has 3 wins, a loss, and a draw in their last 5. The road team in this won their last, but it was an Austrian Bundesliga match.

Portuguese Liga team Sporting CP has won 2-of-4 with a draw and a loss. Sporting fell to Guimaraes in a 3-2 game in their last. Sporting could bounce back in a big way in this. Sporting requires a win to ensure a trip to the knockout stage. Laying the goal makes sense.

Europa League Pick: Sporting CP -1

West Ham vs Freiburg

UEL Odds: West Ham United -130 vs SC Freiburg +315
Hour: 3:00 pm ET
London Stadium, London, England

Freiburg is on fire. The road team in this has won 3-of-5. The great news if you’re looking to back the road team is that the 3 wins have come in Freiburg’s lats 3 matches. So the Bundesliga squad is on a 3-game winning streak.

Neither Freiburg nor West Ham must win this. Because the home side lost their last match, it makes sense to back the hot squad.

Europa League Pick: SC Freiburg
