Double Suggestion:

Thursday's Fixtures.

Double
Olympiakos vs Osmanlispor - Draw no bet (Olympiakos)
Ath Bilbao vs Apoel Nicosia - Asian handicap (-1 Ath Bilbao)

N.B. Double Suggestions are posted when the fixture choice is poor and the confidence levels aren't high enough for an official "Premium Double".

At time of posting, odds of 1.89

These selections can be found in the UEFA Europa league.

The Europa League is notoriously unpredictable due to squad rotation as some teams having bigger fish to fry elsewhere, therefore we will once again err on the side of caution and post this double as a suggestion rather than a Premium Double, so caution advised.

Our first selection (Draw no bet - Olympiakos) are the big boys of the Greek football, and this season is no different as they currently have a 13 point lead at the top of the Greece Super League, meaning they have the luxury of being able to focus on this competition without too much affect on their league title challenge. Domestically they are unbeaten at home all season, with 10 wins and 1 draw, scoring 30 goals and conceding just 4 in the process. So to have a home defence that strong makes them very difficult to beat at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, and that's not even taking into account they score almost 3 goals per game. Their opponents tonight (Osmanlispor) certainly caused a few surprises during the group stage, finishing top of their group and recording an away win at Villarreal along the way. Domestically they have been very average though, and with this competition now getting to the business end, Olympiakos should take this game very seriously, and with the draw covered and home advantage, it should be enough to make this a very safe selection.

Our second selection (Asian handicap -1 Ath Bilbao) are one of the strongest teams in the competition. They didn't set the world on fire during the group stage, however they did win each of the home games, scoring 9 goals in the process. Domestically they have the second strongest home record behind Real Madrid, with their only home loss coming against Barcelona and it was only by a 1 goal margin. Now their opponents tonight (Apoel Nicosia) are certainly not at Barcelona's level of quality, however they are used to winning domestically so will have a strong mentality if not the best technical ability. Apoel Nicosia topped group B of this competition, and recorded 4 wins along the way, however they did suffer 2 defeats on the road, which exposed frailties in defence. Ath Bilbao are the quality side here and they should put out a decent lineup, therefore with home advantage, this game should be a fairly comfortable win in the end for Ath Bilbao.
