When are the Europa League games played?

On Thursday nights, usually at 18:45 and 21:00 Central European Time. Our tips go up on Wednesday or Thursday morning.

Why do favourites lose more in this competition?

Many clubs rotate on Thursday to keep players fresh for Sunday. Long away trips play a part too, so we check line-ups and travel before tipping.

59 won from our last 82 Europa League tips

The Europa League is played on Thursday nights, and that one detail explains a lot about betting on it. Clubs play on Thursday and then again on Sunday in their league. Many of them care more about the league game, so line-ups change and favourites drop points more often than in the Champions League.

The format

Like the Champions League, the Europa League now uses one league table of 36 clubs. Each team plays eight games, the top eight go into the round of 16, the teams from 9th to 24th meet in a play-off round, and the rest are out. The final is in May.

How we pick Europa League tips

Who takes it seriously. Some clubs see the Europa League as their best chance of a trophy and play their strongest side. Others rest players. We look at recent line-ups before we tip.
Travel. The competition stretches from Portugal to Azerbaijan. A long trip before a Sunday league game often means a weakened away team.
Quality gaps. A club from one of the big five leagues at home to a side from a smaller league is often a good spot for a home win or double chance.

Most tips here are double chance or wins at odds between about 1.15 and 1.45. We'd rather post fewer tips on a Thursday than force a pick on a game we can't read.

Kick-off times

Thursday games are usually at 18:45 and 21:00 Central European Time. From late October to late March that's the same time in Lagos, and from late March to late October it's an hour earlier in Lagos. The times on this page are in WAT.

More European tips

Tuesday and Wednesday nights are covered on our Champions League predictions page, and the Conference League page covers the other Thursday games. For the weekend leagues, see the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A pages.
