The road to glory begins as the UEFA Europa League qualifiers kick off, with clubs from across the continent battling for a coveted spot in the league phase. With several fixtures on the schedule, there is sure to be no shortage of drama and entertainment.
We take a closer look at a selection of these fixtures and pick out our best booking codes (odds at time of writing):
AEK Larnaca vs Partizan
AEK Larnaca are heading into this encounter unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions, with three wins and two draws – including a particularly impressive 2-2 draw against Anderlecht last time out.
In comparison, Partizan have lost all of their last three clashes and have only won three of their past 10 matches, alongside six defeats and one draw, leaving them in far from ideal form as they head into this away match.
With the stark contrast of form in mind, alongside Larnaca’s home advantage in this first leg, we believe the hosts will win this one.

Sheriff Tiraspol vs Prishtina
Sheriff Tiraspol have been in superb goalscoring form heading into Thursday’s clash, scoring 13 goals in their last four matches, while Prishtina have seen plenty of goals in their matches throughout their league season, with 78 goals in 36 fixtures.
That includes 36 goals conceded in 36 league matches, and with Sheriff’s strong attacking ability and recent goalscoring form – as well as Prishtina’s goal record this term – we expect plenty of goals in this encounter.
Over 2.5 goals, 1.68 – Book Here

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Ilves
Shakhtar Donetsk are undoubtedly the strongest team of any in the Europa League first round qualifiers, and they will be expecting to secure a major victory in their first leg meeting with Ilves.
The hosts have competed in the Champions League in each of the last eight seasons, meaning they have plenty of experience at the highest level of club football, while the visitors have not competed in any European competition since 1991/92 (UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup).
Given the major contrast in experience of European football, as well as Shakhtar’s significantly stronger team, we expect a home win and several goals to be scored in this meeting.

Legia Warsaw vs FC Aktobe
Legia Warsaw are also one of the stronger teams in the first round of qualifying, and given they are at home for this first leg meeting with an FK Aktobe side that have never reached the league/group stage of a European competition, the hosts are expected to secure a comfortable win.
Legia Warsaw to win & over 1.5 goals, 1.48 – Book Here
