Tonight, the second-leg matches of the Europa League and Conference League round of 16 are scheduled, and we will find out which clubs will advance to the final stages of these competitions. The suggested odds were valid at the time the ticket was compiled.
West Ham – Freiburg – 1 @ 1.75 in betBonanza
This is already the fourth duel between the Hammers and Freiburg this season. Coincidentally, these teams were in the same Europa League group and advanced together. Following a victory by the Germans in the playoffs, the draw paired them in the round of 16. In the group, West Ham won both matches, but Freiburg was more successful seven days ago, winning 1:0. The advantage is not significant, but it’s not negligible either.
The English team played rather poorly against the bottom-of-the-league Burnley last Sunday and barely saved a point at the end, despite the visitors’ two-goal lead. Freiburg was much more successful in their Bundesliga campaign, winning 2:1 in their visit to Bochum. They’ve improved their chances of qualifying for Europe for the third consecutive season. When they last met in London in mid-December, West Ham won 2:0 and secured the top spot in the group. We now give the advantage to the Hammers and suggest a win with an odds of 1.75 at betBonanza.
Slavia Prague – Milan – GG&3+ @ 1.90 in betBonanza
The Rossoneri gained a two-goal advantage after the first match at San Siro. Few may have expected six goals in Milan, but the fans enjoyed the goal-fest and a 4:2 victory. The Czech team faces a difficult task to overcome a two-goal deficit, especially since the old away goals rule no longer applies, making the two goals scored at San Siro not as significant as a 2:0 score. In the league, Slavia Prague convincingly won 4:0 against Teplice last Sunday, while Milan also secured full points in Serie A, albeit sending Empoli away with only one goal conceded.
The match in Prague is extremely important, with both teams eager for European success, and Milan is closer to overall triumph. Again, there might be a lot of goals, as the host has to attack and the visitors will have a chance to exploit space in their defense. Try GG&3+ with an odds of 1.90 at betBonanza.
PAOK – Dinamo Zagreb – 1&2+ @ 2.30 in betBonanza
We were a bit surprised by Dinamo’s victory over PAOK seven days ago, especially since it was achieved without conceding a goal and scoring two. Bruno Petković, the double scorer, was declared the player of the round in this competition for Croatia. The defeat at Maksimir left its mark on the Thessaloniki team, who just a few days later lost an important match in the domestic league against city rival Aris at their Tumba Stadium. Now, the title is three steps further away, and the match against the Zagreb team is currently the most significant of the season.
The Blues didn’t have many problems in the domestic league, beating Slaven from Koprivnica 5:2 but are still only third in the table. Rijeka and Hajduk are ahead, with all three teams within a few points, making the final stretch more interesting than ever. PAOK must attack from the first minute and achieve a lead, eventually winning by at least two goals difference. Our suggestion is a home win with at least two goals, and whether that will be enough for an overall triumph remains to be seen. For 1&2+ the odds are 2.30 in betBonanza.
Viktoria Plzen – Servette – 1 @ 1.85 in betBonanza
Both Viktoria and Servette are playing great in 2024. The Czech team lost the race for the domestic league title during the autumn, and the team from Geneva will probably compete with Young Boys until the end of the Swiss Super League. Servette linked four victories in the league, one each in the Swiss Cup and Conference League, and during that interval, the only draw was with Viktoria in the first match of the round of 16. Viktoria achieved their goal in the city by the famous lake, remaining undefeated, and now rely on their field and fans.
They are exceptionally confident, having beaten league leader Sparta Prague 4:0 on Sunday. Plzen skipped the playoffs in the Conference League due to dominantly securing the top spot in their group. In six matches, the Czech team recorded as many wins in duels with Dinamo Zagreb, Astana, and Balkani. Servette was better than Ludogorets in the playoffs, despite a 0:0 draw in Geneva, celebrating victory in the return leg thanks to a single goal. We give the advantage to Viktoria, not only because of quality but also because of more experience in Europe. For a home win, the odds are 1.85 at betBonanza.
Total odds for Thursday’s ticket at betBonanza is 14.15.
