January 23rd: Thursday’s Europa League Double – 4/1 Special, Betting Tips & Predictions

With the penultimate round of Europa League group stage fixtures getting underway on Thursday, we have plenty of crucial showdowns from across the continent.

As the Premier League duo of Manchester United and Tottenham steal centre stage, we have 16 European battles pencilled in on Thursday night.

For those of you looking to stick on a midweek Europa League flutter, we have taken a glance at two of the most appealing European betting markets.

20:00 Manchester United vs Rangers 

While Manchester United might have mounted a dramatic late comeback at home against Southampton last week as they claimed a 3-1 victory, Ruben Amorim’s men came immediately crashing back down to earth. Putting in a nightmare performance at Old Trafford as they fell to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Brighton, the former Sporting Lisbon boss has a real challenge on his hands. Mustering just a single win from any of their previous eight appearances across all competitions within 90 minuets, Thursday’s hosts have also gained a reputation for their glaring struggles on home soil. Including an infamous 3-0 drumming against Bournemouth on December 22nd, United have lost four of their last five domestic showdowns at Old Trafford. It should also be highlighted, the Premier League giants have shipped 12 goals in their previous five consecutive appearances in front of their own supporters.

Although Rangers might have already seen their Premiership title dreams go up in smoke, Philippe Clement’s men are enjoying a recent purple patch. Extending on their Scottish Cup adventure last weekend as they stormed their way to a 5-0 romp against Fraserburgh, the former Monaco boss has seen his squad win their previous three appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 11-1. Laying down a marker on January 15th as they claimed a 3-0 victory against Aberdeen, the Blues have also not suffered a single defeat from any of their last seven outings. Opening Thursday’s trip to Old Trafford sat in the driving seat to punch a Europa League quarter-final ticket, Clement’s side will be relishing a famous trip to Manchester in midweek. Although the Scottish heavyweights might have failed to record a single victory away from Ibrox since the start of December, Rangers could ask some real questions here.

20:00 Eintracht Frankfurt vs Ferencvaros 

Although Eintracht Frankfurt might have signed off 2024 in the midst of a blip, Thursday’s hosts have come roaring back in some style. Gaining plenty of plaudits from across Germany’s elite this season, Dino Toppmoller’s side are scrapping it out at the top of the Bundesliga standings. Collecting a heavyweight scalp last weekend as they secured a 2-0 victory against Borussia Dortmund, the Eagles have now won each of their previous three consecutive Bundesliga appearances. Putting in a dominant display on January 14th as they cruised their way to a 4-1 romp against Freiburg, Frankfurt have collected 13 points from their six European showdowns this season. Knowing that they could officially wrap up a quarter-final ticket on Thursday night, Toppmoller’s men have also continued to shine on home soil. Including a 7-2 victory against Bochum on November 2nd, Frankfurt have won seven of their last nine matchups at Deutsche Bank Park.

While Ferencvaros might have their sights set on clinching a seventh consecutive domestic crown in 2025, the Greens struggled to find much stability prior to Hungary’s festive break. Last seen in Europa League action putting in a nightmare display as they slumped to a 5-0 drumming against Greek giants PAOK, Thursday’s guests have seen their quarter-final dreams take a real dent. Failing to collect back-to-back victories across any competition since returning from November’s international break, new boss Robbie Keane should have a stern examination on his hands here. Including a 2-1 loss against Anderlecht on September 25th, Ferencvaros have lost nine of their previous 12 Europa League battles outside of Budapest. Remarkably shipping five goals in two of their last three appearances away from the Groupama Arena, the former Ireland international finds his squad pencilled in as a real underdog contender when they travel to Germany in midweek.
