My own advice on the Europa League today, make sure you bet on matches that have something on the line. No need with the large slate to waste time on a match between two eliminated squads IMO where you're simply guessing whether either team will care about playing. Good luck gents.
Europa League
Parlay: Lazio + Fulham [-114]
Lazio hosts group leaders Sporting CP today with a win needed to guarantee qualification to the next round. The Italian side could still qualify depending on Vaslui's result with Zurich today, but should want to take care of business on their own. Sporting has nothing to play for here as they are firmly set to advance at the top of this group after winning four of five group matches. Fulham can clinch a spot in the KO stages with a win at home today against group bottom feeders, Odense. With Wisla Krakow hosting Twente who are already guaranteed top of the group, Fulham can't rely on Twente to necessarily win or take a point that would give Fulham advancement regardless of their outcome. Therefore, I think Fulham heads in looking for the win. Odense have dropped four straight in this group after winning against Wisla Krakow in the opening match. Fulham should be confident here after beating this squad 2-0 on the road already. They will miss goal scorer Andy Johnson from that match, but still have good quality here to get the win.
Dynamo Kiev-Maccabi Tel Aviv Over 2.5/3 [-121]
Kiev has to win and win big today and the hope Besiktas falls at home to a 2nd string Stoke City side. Pretty unlikely, but this should be a team playing with urgency up against a Tel Aviv side that has yielded 14 goals in five group stage matches. The only match where Tel Aviv did not yield multiple goals was the 1st meeting with Kiev at home. The plus is that Tel Aviv scored in four of the five group matches. I don't think Tel Aviv roll over here as they have a newly promoted manager looking to instill confidence in this squad, so I think they will give 100% and that could mean they add a goal to the mix.
