UEFA Europa League Predictions Today: UEL Best Bets for October 15

I expected to see even odds for Lyon in this one, so the +120 available at most betting sites immediately grabbed my attention. The French side and Crystal Palace have both been inconsistent since the start of the season, but I trust Lyon more, especially at home.

The team is unbeaten on its own stadium this season and has scored in every game there, including multiple matches with 3+ goals. I’m not sure that Crystal Palace’s leaky defense can hold the hosts in this one.

The English side has allowed 2 goals per game in the EPL since the start of the season, so going away to Lyon spells trouble. The hosts should create plenty of chances here, so the +120 available for a home victory is among the best Europa League bets today.

NEC Nijmegen has been struggling offensively recently, as the team has scored more than one goal in only one of its last six games. Furthermore, matches in UEFA competitions have been a problem since the start of the season.

The Dutch side only has three goals in five games in the Champions League qualifiers and the Europa League. NEC will face an easier opponent in Levski Sofia next, but the Bulgarian side is actually decent at the back.

Levski has only conceded four games in ten games in the Bulgarian league. You would be right to question these stats given the league’s level, but European games have been mostly solid as well.

The Bulgarian champions kept a clean sheet twice against a decent Kairaty side in the Champions League qualifiers and only lost to Salzburg by one goal in the Europa League opener.

I don’t trust Levski enough to back them for an upset here, but they should be able to keep it close, so grabbing under 2.5 goals is my top pick.
