Bournemouth v AC Milan 20:00, UEL
Bournemouth have maximum points from their opening two Europa League matches, with five goals scored across both games, and they will be looking to maintain their 100 per cent record as they welcome European giants AC Milan to the Vitality Stadium for the first time on Thursday evening.
AC Milan arrive here on the back of a comfortable 4-0 victory over Salzburg, which followed a 2-0 defeat at home to Benfica in the opening round.
This could be an open contest, with both teams likely to attack. I think we are going to see goals. Over 2.5 goals is an attractive betting proposition, as is both teams to score, draw.
AC Milan manager Ruben Amorim failed to beat Bournemouth as Manchester United manager in three attempts; the most recent was last December, which ended in an entertaining 4-4 draw.
BEST BET: BTTS/Draw (7/2)
Besiktas v Crystal Palace, 20:00, UEL
Besiktas arrive here with maximum points from their opening two Europa League matches; they scored seven goals across both games, but lost 2-0 in their latest domestic outing.
Having won their European opener 4-0 against Lech Poznan, Crystal Palace lost 3-2 away to Lyon in the second round, and lost 5-0 away to Brighton in the Premier League on Sunday.
I think there will be goals, and I also think the home crowd will have a big impact on the game. All things considered, my best bet is both teams to score and Besiktas to win.
Best Bet: BTTS/Besiktas (11/5)
Celtic v Celta Vigo, 20:00, UEL
Celtic have lost their first two games in the competition, but with home advantage and after a big domestic win, I think they will avoid defeat. They reached the knockout round playoffs of the 2025-26 Europa League.
Celta Vigo arrive here on the back of a 2-1 victory against Alaves, but their European campaign started with a defeat, and their away form is inconsistent.
I think both teams will push for a win, which will leave them open at the back. The Bulgarian referee has also been generous with his card distribution this season, and should we see a red card, that could leave things even more open.
My best bet for this one is over 3.5 goals.
Best Bet: Over 3.5 goals (9/5)
