Aston Villa vs Bologna

Tyler Morris; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Villa return to Europe under Unai Emery after a stuttering domestic start, and that usually brings a reaction at a busy Villa Park. Emery has challenged his forwards, and potential starters Jadon Sancho and Harvey Elliott add ball-carrying and creativity that should manufacture sights of goal for Ollie Watkins and late-arriving John McGinn. The hosts’ likely back four of Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Pau Torres and Ian Maatsen can play, but Villa have not been watertight, conceding in the league and exiting the EFL Cup on penalties.

Bologna arrive buoyed by a Coppa Italia triumph and have match-winners in Riccardo Orsolini’s left foot and the penalty area instincts of Santiago Castro. Vincenzo Italiano’s sides rarely sit in, and without first-choice right-back Lorenzo De Silvestri in the UEFA list plus injuries to Nicolo Casale and others, the Rossoblu may need to outscore problems. With Villa’s goal drought broken and Bologna’s recent late scoring, both nets should ripple.

Ferencváros vs Viktoria Plzeň

Gram Dodd; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Robbie Keane’s Ferencváros are open by design. They have struck at least twice in nine of 13 this season and shipped two or more in four of their last six, a profile that screams BTTS. Barnabás Varga leads the line with Lenny Joseph likely in support, while creators Naby Keïta, Jonathan Levi and Gabi Kanichowsky supply from midfield. The hosts have been oddly flat at Groupama Arena, failing to win their last three at home, which invites a competitive Plzeň. Brian Priske’s men just lost to Sparta Prague but prior to that they pieced together a strong run, and crucially they eliminated Ferencváros last season over two legs.

With Matej Vydra expected to feature behind Rafiu Durosinmi and Adu, plus wing threats like Cheick Souaré arriving from midfield, the Czech side carry punch even when they concede territory. Ferencváros’ back three of Ibrahim Cissé, Bence Otvos and Toon Raemaekers can be stretched by diagonal balls, so goals for both feels logical.

Rangers vs Genk

Steve Harrington; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Ibrox will demand front-foot football after a bruising Champions League playoff collapse. Russell Martin’s Rangers snapped a barren run by beating Hibernian 2-0, and the likely XI features James Tavernier’s relentless overlaps, a central pair of Mohamed Diomande and Nico Raskin, and a lively trio behind Bojan Miovski in Mikey Moore, Thelo Aasgaard and Djeidi Gassama. That set-up generates volume, but it also leaves gaps in transition. Genk’s domestic form is modest, yet Thorsten Fink’s side still scored six across two legs versus Lech Poznan and possess direct runners in Joseph Ito, Bilal El Hadji Steuckers and Adedeji-Sternberg working around striker Oh.

Zakaria El Ouahdi’s raids from right-back add an extra channel of threat. Rangers have leaked frequently this term, while Genk concede thanks to individual errors at the back with Mujaid Sadick and Matte Smets still bedding in. The ingredients point to a rousing night: home pressure creating chances and Belgian counters landing.

Red Bull Salzburg vs Porto

John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Salzburg are strong starters in this competition and usually attack in waves at home, particularly with Petar Ratkov and Yorbe Vertessen leading the press. Even with Karim Konaté out, Thomas Letsch’s side produce width and numbers via Maurits Kjaergaard and Mads Bidstrup, which should force attempts against Porto’s reshaped defence. The Dragons arrive perfect domestically under Francesco Farioli, yet their Europa League away record is patchy, with 10 losses in 17 on the road.

There is, however, plenty of quality going forward: Pablo Rosario continuing at right-back overlaps into advanced areas; Pepe drifts between lines; while Samu and Jesús Sainz can finish off quick moves. With Stephen Eustaquio suspended, Porto’s midfield balance changes, which might aid Salzburg transitions but also open up lanes for the visitors to counter. Given Salzburg’s three-game winless run and Porto’s ruthless form, the safest angle is both outfits creating and conceding. Expect chances at either end rather than a cagey opener.

Stuttgart vs Celta Vigo

Wolfgang Shotten; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Sebastian Hoeneß’s Stuttgart have rediscovered tempo, winning three of four, with Ermedin Demirović in excellent touch and a fluid three behind him in Jamie Leweling, Bilal El Khannouss and Tiago Tomás. The Swabians’ full-backs, Max Mittelstädt and Lorenz Assignon, push high, leaving space for counters—an issue against Spanish opponents historically. Celta Vigo might be winless, but five consecutive 1-1 draws highlight their ability to craft a goal even when under pressure.

The experienced Iago Aspas links with Strand Larsen’s replacement pair—Tasende Iglesias and Carles Pérez Zaragoza—while Óscar Mingueza’s advanced positioning from the right can exploit Stuttgart’s high line. With Deniz Undav sidelined and a youthful centre-back pairing that is still knitting together (Jeltsch alongside Dan-Axel Zagadou’s role filled by Jeff Chabot), Stuttgart are more dynamic than solid. Claudio Giráldez prefers brave build-up through Fran Beltrán’s deputies—Moriba and Hugo Sotelo—inviting turnovers but also progressive entries. The balance of styles should yield goals both ways.

FC Utrecht vs Lyon

Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Utrecht have marched into the league phase on the back of six unbeaten European matches, scoring freely against Sheriff, Servette and Zrinjski. Ron Jans uses Souffian El Karouani aggressively from left-back, with Taylor Booth alternatives in Isak Hansen-Aarøen’s role covered by the mobile trio of Othmane Boussaid’s stand-ins—here, Ilyas El Messaoudi Zechiel, Can Bozdogan and Zidane Iqbal provide thrust behind David Min. The Dutch side’s recent Eredivisie blanks are a concern, but their continental rhythm should return at Stadion Galgenwaard.

Lyon travel with momentum: four league wins from five and a defence that has largely held up, anchored by Nicolas Tagliafico and a central unit of Moussa Niakhaté and Aïssa Mandi’s deputy Nathaniel Mata. Yet Paulo Fonseca’s men (caretaker Jorge Maciel on the touchline) are without suspended Corentin Tolisso and several injured options, so extra responsibility falls on Malick Fofana and youngster Karol Karabec to support Martin Satriano. That shift could loosen Lyon’s shape and encourage an end-to-end contest. Both sides have the tools to score.
