Europa Conference League betting tips for Thursday, April 17

5:45pm - Real Betis to beat Bialystok & under 4.5 goals – 6/5 (Bet365)

This exact bet was a winner in last week’s Conference League acca and I see little reason why it isn’t worth another crack here.

Real Betis won that game 2-0, a comfortable enough victory but not one that means they can afford to take their foot off the gas in the away leg.

They have, however, won four of their last five away games, and the same level of dominance as the first tie should see this win comfortably.

Betis won the xG count 3.34-0.32 in that match, so a victory with under 4.5 goals looks an obvious bet.

5:45pm - Fiorentina to beat NK Celje & under 4.5 goals – 3/4 (Ladbrokes)

We backed Fiorentina to win the away leg with under 3.5 goals – which they did, 2-1 – and are giving ourselves another goal’s worth of protection this week.

The hosts are in the driving seat with a lead after the trickier match of the two but are not so far clear that they can afford to take this game lightly.

Raffaele Palladino’s side have won six of their last eight matches, all of which have featured under 4.5 goals.

NK Celje have lost five of their six away games in this competition, with five of those six also featuring four goals or fewer.

8pm - Tyrique George (Chelsea) to score v Legia Warsaw – 23/10 (Unibet)

George scored his first Chelsea goal in last week’s 3-0 win in the first leg of this tie and looks a lovely price to net again in the reverse game.

The forward started off the left last week, netting a goal worth 0.56 in xG terms, and should be part of a Chelsea victory that could even trump the first leg in terms of goals.

The Blues have scored 20 times in five home matches in this competition so getting one of their attackers at this price feels an obvious bet.

8pm - Rapid Vienna to beat Djurgarden (20:00) – 8/11 (general)

Rapid Vienna lead this tie 1-0 after the first leg away from home, so are a simple inclusion to finish it off in front of their own supporters.

The Austrians have won three and drawn one of their home matches in this competition, including an impressive 3-0 beating of Copenhagen.

Last week’s first leg was actually a relatively even affair, but that should move into our favour for the home tie.

Djurgarden lost away to Pafos in the last 16 and we are comfortable backing against them again here.
