Soccer Betting Preview and Odds for the 2022-23 Europa League Group Stage – Matchday 5 Games

FC Union Berlin -121 vs Braga +330

When: Thursday, Oct. 27 at 12:45 pm ET

After a tough 3 matches where Braga lost 2 and drew in another, the underdog road squad in this has won 2 straight. In their last, Braga beat Portuguese Liga opponent Estoril via a 2-0 score.

Union Berlin has won 4-of-5. Berlin lost their last, a 2-1 match against Bochum. But although the home team fell in their last, Berlin has played much better soccer overall than Braga. Union Berlin gets it done.

Europa League Pick: FC Union Berlin

Lazio -176 vs FC Midtjylland +440

When: Thursday, Oct. 27 at 12:45 pm ET

Lazio and Midtjylland are in similar form. Both teams have won twice with 3 draws in their last 5.

The difference between each squad is that Midtjylland drew 1-1 versus Copenhagen in their last and Lazio beat rival Atalanta 2-0 in their last. Unless Lazio doesn’t show up with their best effort, the home team should prevail.

Europa League Pick: Lazio

PSV Eindhoven +181 vs Arsenal +138

When: Thursday, Oct. 27 at 12:45 pm ET

Road favorite Arsenal is in excellent form. The Gunners have won 4 straight with a draw. Arsenal beat PSV 1-0 in the first leg.

Eindhoven played well in that much. But in the match right after, PSV fell apart, losing 4-2 against FC Groningen. Still, although Eindhoven has had it rough in their last couple of matches, this happens on PSV’s pitch. The home squad offers attractive enough odds for a look.

Europa League Pick: PSV Eindhoven

Ferencvaros +260 vs AS Monaco -101

When: Thursday, Oct. 27 at 3:00 pm ET

AS Monaco travels to Ferencvaros playing some of their worst soccer of the season. The French Ligue 1 team has lost 2 with a draw in their last 3.

Home underdog Ferencvaros has won 3-of-4. The odds difference makes Monaco unplayable. The home team gets the nod.

Europa League Pick: Ferencvaros

Manchester United -2.5 +101 vs Sheriff Tiraspol +2.5 -128

When: Thursday, Oct. 27 at 3:00 pm ET

Tiraspol isn’t playing well. The road dog is on a 3-match losing streak. All 3 losses were by at least 2 goals.

United drew with Chelsea in their last and beat Tottenham by 2 goals in the match before. The Red Devils can cover the handicap.

Europa League Pick: Manchester United

SC Freiburg -1.5 +134 vs Olympiakos +1.5 -172

When: Thursday, Oct. 27 at 3:00 pm ET

Freiburg has 3 wins, a loss, and a draw in their last 5. The home team in this bounced out of an 0-5 loss to Bayern with 2 straight wins.

Olympiakos won their last but before beating Panetolikos, the road squad lost to PAOK Salonika. The Greek Super League squad gets 1.5 goals in this. Freiburg, though, is a good club. The +134 potential payout makes the home team worth backing.

Europa League Pick: SC Freiburg
