Back this 7/1 Europa League acca on Thursday

Attention turns to the Europa League on Thursday evening, with a host of sides looking to move a step closer to the next phase of European football's second tier competition. 

Odds Now's Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) has browsed over the fixtures and picked out a tidy 7/1 accumulator for would-be punters to dive into.

Odds Now's Europa League betting selections

Selection #1 - Frankfurt to beat Ferencvaros (5/8)

The German club boast the third-best home record in the Bundesliga ahead of their meeting with the Hungarian champions.

In fact, the positive form has also carried over to their European exploits, with Dino Toppmoller's men taking seven points from their three Europa League home fixtures so far. 

Frankfurt have impressed at both ends of the pitch, having scored in all of these games while conceding only three. 

The visitors have also put in a sturdy performance in the competition so far, claiming noteworthy wins over the likes of Nice, Dinamo Kiev and Malmo in the Europa League.

However, the Dinamo result is their only away win during normal time following a penalty shootout victory against Borac Banja Luka in the preliminary play-off rounds.

Still, Ferencvaros deserve plaudits for their efforts, though a victory over this Frankfurt side seems a step too far.

The hosts are performing terrifically in the German Bundesliga, having recently rode out a rocky patch of form to put another winning run together and rightly come in firm favourites to win this one.

Selection #2 - Porto to beat Olympiakos (6/10)

Three consecutive losses have left Porto third in the Portuguese top-flight, four points behind current leaders Sporting Lisbon. 

Their Europa League form has also been patchy, with Vitor Bruno's men winning two, drawing two and losing two so far. 

Scoring hasn't been an issue - they have found the net in every match so far - but their performance at the other end of the pitch has certainly held them back.

Porto have averaged 1.67 goals conceded in the competition, though they have been much tighter on home turf (conceding only three so far).  

The opposite can be said of opponents Olympiacos, who head to northern Portugal having scored only one away goal in the Europa League.

Thankfully for manager Jose Luis Mendilibar, the Greek runners-up have been watertight at the back, averaging a mere 0.5 conceded so far in Europe.

Each side's misgivings leaves the game well-poised at Estadio do Dragao, but the added quality of Porto should still see them edge an entertaining encounter. 

Bruno's men have arguably faced better opposition so far in the tournament and, despite recent form, will have too much for their Greek counterparts on their day.

Selection #3 - Qarabag to beat FCSB (13/10)

The Azerbaijani champions made for an entertaining watch in last season's iteration of the Europa League, but things haven't been quite as plainsailing this time around.

Qarabag have lost five of their six matches in the competition this term and are yet to pickup a single point at home. 

Meanwhile, Romanian champions FCSB are riding the crest of the wave, having already exceeded expectations in the 'League Phase'. 

The visitors find themselves in 10th heading into this one, level on points with Rangers in the final automatic qualification spot. 

Can they keep this up against a Qarabag side who, for all of their struggles at home, have been handed a rough deal against tough opposition?

The home side have faced Ajax, Lyon and Malmo on home turf and were also faced to play large portions of the game against the Dutch club with nine men. 

FCSB's story makes for a great read but I'm going to sway in favour of Qarabag getting off the mark against their over-performing Romanian counterparts.
