UEFA Europa League Predictions Today: UEL Best Bets for October 2

Ludogorets are usually adventurous at home as well, so you can expect a fairly open game with chances on both ends of the pitch.

Furthermore, the Bulgarian champions have struggled to keep clean sheets on the European stage, conceding in each of their last three continental matches — and they did so against much weaker opponents. Betis should be able to exploit the opposition’s issues with ease.

Overall, I expect a line of 2.75 goals for this one, so I’m more than happy to take the -122 offered for over 2.5 goals.

What makes Porto special isn’t just the back line. This is a side that defends as a unit, pressing relentlessly and suffocating the opposition. That kind of cohesion is a nightmare for teams like Crvena Zvezda, who lack the technical quality to break down such a strong defensive unit.

On the other end, Zvezda hasn’t kept a clean sheet since early August and has looked vulnerable against far lesser attacks. Porto, with their mix of pace and power up front, should find the net and control the match tempo from start to finish.

Getting +163 for the Portuguese side to win to nil is great value in this spot, and one of the Europa League best bets today.
