The Europa League continues with Matchday 2 after an exciting first round with a lot of fun matchups. What should we expect from the most important UEL matches on October 5, and what odds to take?
Liverpool are the top of our 23/24 Europa League predictions. They are pretty much the best team in this tournament and should get the win at home here. Diogo Jota is pretty much nailed to start this game, as he is suspended for the next Premier League match. He has scored two goals in the last three games and is in good form.
Both teams dropped points in their first group stage game, as Marseille drew with Ajax away and Brighton lost to AEK Athens at home. The Seagulls have gone over 2.5 goals in seven of their last eight matches, and they are coming off a 6-1 loss to Aston Villa, so an open game here is the most likely outcome.
There’s no clear favorite in this matchup, according to the Europa League odds. Both teams have won their first group stage game and are on 3 points. The Hammers have gone over 9.5 corners in every single match so far this season, while Freiburg’s first UEL game had 13 corners, so the odds on this pick are enticing.
