UEFA Europa League Predictions Today: UEL Best Bets for November 5

Levski Sofia have been playing very well since the start of the season, both domestically and in Europe. The team leads the Bulgarian league by winning ten games and drawing two since the start of the season, with zero losses so far.

Even if you (rightfully) don’t read too much into that, the Europa League performances deserve a lot of credit. Levski started with a close 1-0 defeat against the decent RB Salzburg at home but then bounced back by taking four points from the away games against NEC and Viktoria Pilzen.

This provides an excellent platform for Levski to qualify for the knockouts, and a win against Jagiellonia Białystok will be a monumental step in this direction.

The hosts will be full of confidence and fiercely supported by the local crowd, but there are more reasons to back them. Jagiellonia’s defense has been leaky so far, allowing 18 goals in 12 games in the Polish league, as well as six in three Europa League games.

The team has been inconsistent up front as well, often struggling to create many chances. Levski’s disciplined defense and quick transitions up front should be enough to outplay Jagiellonia and win this game.

I’m really not sure where this totals line is coming from. Sunderland have struggled for goals this season, scoring only four in three Europa League games and only seven in nine Premier League matches.

Playing on two fronts has been a big issue, especially in attack. Sunderland don’t create enough big chances and convert at a poor rate in the rare occasions when they do.

They should still dominate possession against Dinamo Zagreb at home and likely win, but don’t expect fireworks in this one. The Croatian side will sit back and defend, looking for opportunities on the counter.

Obviously, a single early goal could ruin any under bet, but the value on this one makes it one of the best Europa League picks today.
