Today, the participants of the round of 16 in the Europa League and the Conference League will be finalized. The return leg matches of the playoffs in these two lesser European competitions are on the schedule. The proposed odds were current at the time of compiling the ticket.
Rennes – Milan – gg @ 1.63 at Mozzartbet
AC Milan settled the question of advancing to the round of 16 at their San Siro. The Rossoneri celebrated a 3:0 victory, and it would take a real miracle for Rennes to make up a three-goal deficit. However, looking at the results of these two teams from last weekend, it seems that anything is possible. Rennes achieved another solid triumph in Ligue 1, their fifth in a row, and if we include the French Cup, then it’s their eighth. Meanwhile, Milan suffered an unpleasant 4:2 defeat in Monza. The Milanese were down 2:0 and a man short after Jović’s dismissal, but they managed to tie the game at 2:2 in the finale. However, just when a complete turnaround seemed possible, the host reacted with two quick goals to put an end to the match. The Scudetto is lost, and in the Champions League, they failed to advance to the knockout stage, so the Europa League is crucial for Milan for the rest of the season. As for Rennes, they have the opportunity to attack the third place in Ligue 1, the last spot leading to the elite European competition.
For this match, we suggest betting on both teams to score (gg), with odds of 1.63 at Mozzartbet.
Qarabag – Braga – t2 over 1.5 @ 2.05 at Mozzartbet
Perhaps the biggest surprise in the first matches of the Europa League and Conference League happened at the Quarry in Braga. There, Azerbaijani team Qarabag visited and celebrated a 4:2 victory. Qarabag has almost secured the title in their league, although just a few days before the match in Portugal, they played a 3:3 draw at home against Sabah. Braga, before their defeat to the Azerbaijanis, also lost to Sporting with a score of 5:0, so it’s clear that the momentum was poor for the Portuguese team. Somehow, we feel that not everything is decided in this two-legged tie; Braga will do everything to make up the two-goal deficit in Baku, and it works in their favor that away goals don’t give an advantage, as even a 2:0 win would be enough for them to force extra time. Their victory over Farense over the weekend suggests they are starting to come out of their mini-crisis, but a tougher task awaits them in this away game in the far east, for them. Braga must start offensively, and we believe they are capable of scoring two goals in distant Baku. The only question is whether they can defend their net.
For t2 over 1.5 goals the odds at Mozzartbet are 2.05.
Toulouse – Benfica – t2 over 1.5 @ 1.85 at Mozzartbet
Thanks to Angel di Maria, Benfica managed to gain an advantage after the first 90 minutes of the duel with French team Toulouse. Penalties were awarded twice for the Eagles, and the Argentine successfully converted both, the second in the sixth minute of injury time. However, the French have an active score; they need a one-goal victory to take the match to extra time, but they must be aware that they are facing the famous Portuguese team on the other side of the field. Benfica played in the Champions League and managed to reach third place in their group only with a victory in the last round in Salzburg, and that too by the necessary two-goal margin. Ahead of them were Real Sociedad and Inter, and that victory in Mozart’s city earned them a spot in the Europa League. Toulouse played in the Europa League group with Liverpool, finishing behind them, but they were more successful than Belgium’s Royal Union and Austria’s LASK. In Ligue 1, Toulouse achieved a significant victory on Sunday in Monaco, defeating them 2:1 and avoiding the relegation zone. Benfica is of higher quality, and despite the fact that the game is in Toulouse, we expect an open game with at least two goals in the host’s net.
For t2 over 1.5 goals the odds at Mozzartbet are 1.85.
Ludogorets – Servette – t1 over 1.5 @ 2.10 at Mozzartbet
A tough battle was fought in Geneva seven days ago, where Servette and Ludogorets played a goalless match, but the host had five times more shots on the goal of the Bulgarian champions, attempting 25 times but failing to find the net. The chances of advancing to the round of 16 are now slightly higher for Ludogorets, but that doesn’t necessarily mean much. In the Conference League group, the Bulgarians had the same number of points as Fenerbahçe, but the Turks were better in the head-to-head score. They left behind Denmark’s Nordsjælland and Slovakia’s Trnava. Meanwhile, Servette, as the Swiss vice-champion, played in the Europa League, where they finished third in their group behind Czech Slavia Prague and Italian Roma, and ahead of Moldova’s Sheriff. The Swiss league resumed before the Bulgarian one, which could be a slight advantage for Servette, but the game is in Razgrad, and Ludogorets has much more European experience, although the “crazy forest” is no longer as strong as it once was.
Our suggestion is to bet on t1 over 1.5 goals, for which Mozzartbet offers odds of 2.10.
