Europa League Betting Tips
It is certainly hard to look past the top three in Athletic Bilbao, United and Spurs. Spanish side Athletic are hosting the final, so if they make it to the San Mames showdown, the ‘favourite’ tag will surely be attached to them.
Each of the three sides mentioned above possesses world-class players and in truth, they should be competing in the Champions League rather than the Europa League.
That being said, United and Spurs are struggling for form domestically, so wagering on them to go all the way in this tournament comes with risk.
If you are looking to place a bet on a team who are doing well in their respective division and at slightly longer odds, look no further than Lyon.
The French side are fifth in Ligue 1 and on a run of four victories in five, while they thrashed FCSB 7-1 on aggregate in the last 16.
Young playmaker Rayan Cherki leads the way for assists in the Europa League with eight in 10 matches and striker Georges Mikautadze has three goals and four assists in the competition.
If Lyon can get past United in the quarter-finals, a task they should be confident of completing, stopping them will be difficult!
