Thursday's Football Betting Tips
The Champions League is a hard act to follow but that is the task that awaits today. There are a decent number of games taking place, though, with the second and third-tier European competitions heading our way.
The Europa League will attract most attention and there are two English sides taking to the grass, with both on the road. Nottingham Forest have the tough task of heading to Primerira Liga leaders Porto, whilst Aston Villa head to Italy for a showdown with Bologna. The final Europa League tie sees Freiburg host Celta Vigo.
Another English side are in Conference League action, with Crystal Palace having home advantage against Fiorentina. Mainz vs Strasbourg, Shakhtar Donetsk vs AZ Alkmaar and Vallecano vs AEK Athens round out the days action.
Bologna vs Aston Villa: Under 2.5 goals
- Bologna have gone south of the 2.5-goal threshold in three of their last five matches, and in four of their last five when at home.
- Aston Villa have seen three of their last five matches fall short of the 2.5-goal cut-off, with that extending to four of five when looking at their away form.
Crystal Palace vs Fiorentina: Fiorentina or draw
- Crystal Palace might have home advantage in this match but that might not mean a great deal; they've won just two of their last 10 at Selhurst Park.
- Fiorentina arrive here on a six-game unbeaten run, dating back too a defeat on March 2nd.
