Salzburg vs Milan
Salzburg are unbeaten at home so far this season with six wins from six games, leaving them full of confidence heading into this game against a Milan side that were defeated in their opening Europa League game and have just one win in their last five matches.
However, Milan still possess the greater talent on the pitch and will be expected to dominate the proceedings against the hosts, and with the likes of Goncalo Ramos and Christian Pulisic in forward areas, we are backing Milan to capitalise on their control and win this one.
Milan to win, 1.92 – 5VR72D6
Lyon vs Crystal Palace
Four of Lyon’s last five matches have seen at least 2.5 goals be scored, including all of their last three outings, while six of Crystal Palace’s last seven competitive fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals.
With both now set to clash on Thursday, given the high-scoring nature of matches involving these teams, we are predicting this match to follow a similar trend and deliver over 2.5 goals.
Over 2.5 goals, 1.60 – 5VR7B7H
SCU Torreense vs Sunderland
Sunderland head into Thursday’s fixture in need of a streak-snapping victory after losing each of their two English Premier League matches since starting their Europa League campaign with a 1-0 win against AZ Alkmaar.
The visitors will be the overwhelming favourites to claim the victory, with the English Premier League side boasting the far stronger team on paper, with the Black Cats expected to dominate the match and create plenty of chances.
While Torreense will be hopeful of building on their stunning 2-1 win against Lillestrom on matchday one, the second-division Portuguese side remain the underdogs and are expected to lose here.
Sunderland to win, 1.40 – 5VR7JH9
KKS Lech Poznan vs Bayer Leverkusen
Patrik Schick has scored six goals in seven appearances for Bayer Leverkusen at the start of the 2026/27 season, including scoring in each of his last two matches for the German side.
As Leverkusen now face a Lech Poznan side that conceded four goals in their opening defeat to Crystal Palace, the German side are anticipated to cause similar problems in the final third, and with that in mind, we are backing their in-form striker to score again.
Patrik Schick to score anytime, 2.00 – 5VR7V6P
