Recap + EUROPA WAR SLATE BABY! (Patreon)

yeahhh today sucked LOL. So many chances to hit so many of these but nope!  1-5. -4.1u day.

Yuck - but good news! I'm going big on Europa tomorrow! Here's my slate! 

I'm posting my 6 Europa Bets first with my article. I'll get the Europa Conference slate up in a separate post but that one takes me a bit to dig through so bear with me! Wanted to get this first slate out though right away! Qarabag is my favorite play if you only played one! 

3.7 Slate:.

Europa League Games. 1u Each

Qarabag v Leverkusen. BTTS -105. 

Score Prediction: 1-2/1-3/1-4 Leverkusen 

*Thoughts*

I have unironically said this for years now. I will always bet Qarabag to score, when they are at home, and only when they are at home. They know 100% against Leverkusen of all teams they have to try to get something at home, before they travel to Germany and lose by 40 goals. This is my StoppageTime play and my favorite play of the day! I know these two teams clashed in Group stage and Qarabag didn't score at home, but that's not happening twice! 

AS Roma v Brighton. Roma over 1.5 TT. +100. 12:45pm ET. 

Score Prediction. 2-1 Roma 

Thoughts

My thoughts here are as soon as Murinho left and Rossi came in, this Roma team has actually been so dam fun to watch.  Brighton are absolutely unbettable for me just with how hot or cold they can be, but I will bet Roma every week, either BTTS or TT every single time moving forward, and this time I lean towards TT with how well Ross has done in competitions so far! 

Marseille v Villarreal. Over 2.5 goals -125. 3pm ET. 

Score Prediction. 2-1/2-2 Marseille Lean

*Thoughts*

Gang I'm just saying there's some serious "They're back" allegations for both clubs right now. Marseille who was my tender baby last year for TT fell apart this season, and now that new manager bump has them damn near violent with goals.  12 goals in their lsat three matches, while Villarreal is doing the same thing. Slow start to the season but they just dump trucked (might be the wrong phrase) Sociedad and Granada. Two teams wanting goals I'll take it safe and play the over. 

S.L. BENFICA vs. RANGERS F.C. | 3/7 | 3 p.m. ET

Score Prediction: 2-1 / 2-2 Sporting Lean 

Picks:

• BTTS -130. 1u
• Over 2.5 goals -135. 1u
• James Tavernier ATGS +400. .5u

Portuguese giants Benfica will host the current table-leaders in Scotland, Rangers. Both teams are in tremendous form right now, scoring a ton of goals and playing good defense in their title races. Benfica are currently one point behind Sporting CP in Liga Portugal, while Rangers are two points ahead of Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. While both clubs will be a bit distracted with league play, the thought of bringing home a European trophy and a Champions
League spot will be priority. Expect both clubs to play their best in both legs and go for goals.

Rangers have now scored in 28 matches straight across all competitions including league play, Cup games, and Europa League group stage matches. This is a club that chooses offense over everything and will always go for goals regardless of their opponent. The tricky thing for them, though, is that they rely heavily on their home-field advantage. Playing at Ibrox Stadium is brutal, so while I do think they'll score in the first leg on the road, the second leg is where they might really shine.

Benfica are also looking solid in league play, however they're coming off their worst loss in ages. They just played league rival Porto before this match and were handed a 5-0 loss in which a red card from Nicolas Otamendi saw Benfica play a man down. This is the kind of loss that should fuel Benfica to play fierce as a tough Rangers side plays as the road underdog.
