The Europa League quarter-final first leg kicks off with Manchester United traveling to Austria to play LASK while Rangers host German side Bayern Leverkusen. Wolverhampton will be traveling to Greece to face Olympiakos who knocked Arsenal although they are still appealing for a postponement of their game due the owner of Olympiakos coronavirus condition.
Copenhagen and Basaksehir will play each other and we should note that all the games will be played behind closed doors because of the recent outbreak and spread coronavirus. Italy has suspended all sporting activities in the country already. We will be giving the analysis on the whole games and then make predictions afterward.
LASK vs Manchester United
Austrian side LASK will be looking to give their fans yet another reason for celebration when they host high flying Manchester United at their Linzer Stadion in the Europa League quarter-final first leg. The Austrian outfit have been scoring goals for fun in all competitions of late, and they are on the right track to win the domestic trophy. An entertaining game is expected in as both teams are in top form in their various domestic leagues.
The Red Devils did well to beat ten-man Club Brugge 5-0 in the previous round, but they face a much tougher side in the Europa League quarter-final first leg game. They have been doing well since the arrival of Bruno Fernandes and Odion Ighalo, they are yet to lose a game in the last eight games. In the absence of Marcus Rashford all eyes will be on Anthony Martial who gave the opener in the Manchester Derby. We are predicting that there will lots of goals in the game, we are predicting on over 2.5 goals in the game.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Basel
Eintracht Frankfurt play host to Basel at their Commerzbank-Arena in the Europa League quarter-final first leg games. Die Adler set up a meeting with Swiss outfit by beating Salzburg in their last game. Eintracht’s away record is anything but good, but seeing that they are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Filip Kostic and Co.
The RotBlau, on the other hand, proved their worth in the two-legged tie against Cyprus side APOEL, but they face a tougher side in the Thursday clash. Considering that die Adler recorded five wins in the last six home games in all competitions, we are positive home win, the visitors are going to return home empty-handed from the trip to Germany.
Basaksehir vs Copenhagen
After beating Sporting CP to advance to the Europa League quarter-final, Istanbul Basaksehir will be looking to move one step closer to winning the tie. The Turkish side rolled over the Portuguese Lions 4-1 in Istanbul, and it is no wonder they are seen as favourites to win Thursday’s football match. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Bosnia international Edin Visca.
Copenhagen, on the other hand, did well to beat the odds and eliminate Scottish giants Celtic in the Europa League last 32. They will be looking to continue in the run as they take on Basaksehir in the Europa League quarter-final game. Seeing that both sides are scoring side betting on goals will be a very good idea our prediction will be both teams to score or over 2.5.
Sevilla vs AS Roma
Sevilla held Athletic Madrid to a 2-2 draw in their domestic league in the weekend and are looking very confident ahead of the Italians. They booked their place in the Europa League quarter-final after beating Cluj in their last Europa League game. They welcome Roma to their Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan with lots of confidence in their eyes. Julen Lopetegui’s troops aim to put an end to their three-game winless run in the Europa League, but beating Roma won’t be an easy task.
The Giallorossi, on the other hand, eliminated Belgian side Gent in the last 32, with the team extending their unbeaten run in the Europa League to eight games. Roma are not seen as good travelers we predict that they are going to find the net in the first leg encounter. A lively contest is on the horizon in Andalusia, and we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score.
The Other Europa League quarter-final games and predictions includes:
Inter Milan vs Getafe: G-G
Wolfsburg vs Shakhtar Donetsk: G-G
Olympiakos vs Wolves: Over 1.5
Rangers vs Bayer Leverkusen: Over 2.5
