AEK Athens vs. AC Milan
AC Milan have made huge investments in the summer break, making a lot of good transfers and spending over 200 m euros. But the newcomers need time to find their rhythm and start performing at their best level. Right now, they struggle to find their best shape, the squad lacks depth and their manager Vincenzo Montella is in big danger to be sacked after winning just one match in their last six Serie A fixtures. In Europa League they are leading Group D with 7 points but their opponents are not high-level clubs. The Greek team, AEK Athens, are unbeaten in Europa League this season being in pole position to finish the group in 2nd place and qualify further in the knock-out stages. AC Milan were held to a goalless draw in the reverse match and they will have a tough travel in Greece playing against a decent team. Best pick for the match: Both teams to score at 1.9 with Betfair.
Lyon vs. Everton
Ronald Koeman has been sacked by Everton following the 5-2 defeat by Arsenal in the Premier League but unfortunately for the Toffees the negative results keep on coming. The enter this match on the back of 4 defeats in a row in all competitions with the most recent one being away at Leicester 0-2. Lyon come into this match full of confidence and in fine form being unbeaten in their last 7 matches in all competitions and scoring 19 goals in the process. Everton are sitting 4th in the EL standings with just 1 point and we expect their interim manager David Unsworth to rotate his squad and rest some of his important players ahead of the Premier League clash next weekend against Watford. Lyon should have enough to win this match and secure their 2nd spot in the standings. Best pick for the match: Lyon to win and over 1.5 goals at 1.75 with Unibet.
Arsenal vs. Red Star Belgrade
The Gunners host Red Star Belgrade on Thursday at the Emirates as they look to continue their Europa League winning streak and to secure their knock-out stage spot with two rounds to go till the end of the group stage. They won the reverse match 1-0 in Serbia and their manager Arsene Wenger is expected to rotate for the Europa League once more by resting his important players ahead of the Premier League clash against Manchester City. Theo Walcott, Olivier Giroud and Jack Wilshere should all make their appearance in the starting XI. We expect a clear home win with Arsenal solving the match from half-time. Best pick for the match: Arsenal to win HT/FT at 1.84 with WilliamHill
Lazio vs. Nice
Lazio and Nice are the best teams in their group and they should both qualify further. Lazio have one of the best seasons in Serie A being amongst the teams fighting for the title. Their star striker Ciro Immobile is on fire being the number one scorer in the top-flight league with 14 goals scored in 11 Serie A fixtures. Nice enter this match on the back of 5 defeats in a row losing also the reverse match 1-3 on their turf. We expect an easy home win but for better value we will combine it with the over 1.5 goals in the match. Best pick for the match: Lazio to win and over 1.5 goals at 1.8 with Unibet.
