It hasn’t been a great week for Arsenal and Everton in the Premier league, so they may find respite in the Europa Cup; but then again…
Arsenal let down North London’s online betting fans by losing to a late goal against Watford so the Gunners might even be happy to run away to Belgrade, not the easiest place to visit at the best of times. Arsene Wenger’s team is joint favourite to win the Europa Cup at handicap betting odds of 7.00, the same as AC Milan. But football betting players may well take a look at the Premier League’s other representative, Everton, at a highly tempting price of 35.00. The Toffees need to show they can get it together though, and quickly.
GROUP STAGE WEEK 3 FRIDAY:
Crvena Zvezda vs Arsenal
There’s not much joy around the Emirates after Arsenal’s four-match winning run was ended by the Hornets on Saturday. Meanwhile, Red Star has won six in seven, scoring nine goals without reply in the last two games. Both are unbeaten in this competition so far and it will be a tight match. Arsenal is at 1.99 to win with a handicap of 0.75 goals.
Everton vs Lyon
The Toffees drew at home to Apollon in their last Europa game and followed that with a league defeat to Burnley and then a draw with Brighton. Lyon are unbeaten in four but, like Everton, are yet to win in this competition. Everton is 2.24 to clear the gloom, Lyon at 2.84 to make matters worse for the hosts and the draw is at 3.10.
Nice vs Lazio
Both of these teams are on six points and so this will go some way to deciding the group winner. It could be a good time for Lazio to travel to France on the back of a stunning win against Juventus while Nice suffered back to back defeats. But Alassane Plea has scored four Europa goals already for the hosts and will be a big threat.
AC Milan vs AEK Athens
Milan have lost three Serie A games in a row, with a little respite coming on a 3-2 win over Rijeka in the Europa Cup. With six points already to AEK’s four, this is a chance for Vincenzo Montella’s team to get back to winning ways and break away in this group.
Villarreal vs Slavia Prague
There’s a fascinating tussle in Spain where the Yellow Submarine, unbeaten in six home games, host a Slavia side which are unbeaten in five away from home. Both are yet to lose in their Europa group so something could give. If it doesn’t, a draw is available at 4.20.
