Shelbourne with a +2 handicap is the pick here. Ajax are being built up like some kind of European powerhouse, but I'm not buying the hype — they're nowhere near as fearsome as people think. At 1.97, taking the hosts with that head start looks like a solid sp…

Handicap 2 (-2.5)odds 2.07

Shelbourne vs Ajax in the Conference League — this one looks straightforward. Ajax are the far superior side and should cruise to a comfortable win. I expect a 4-0 scoreline, which means the -2.5 handicap on the visitors at 2.07 is the right call.

Handicap 1 (2.5)odds 1.62

Shelbourne hosts Ajax with a 3-1 deficit from the first leg, and the tie looks all but settled. But in these return fixtures, the favorite often takes its foot off the gas, especially with a new domestic season demanding attention.
Ajax fired 32 shots and cr…

Benfica have been in devastating form since their only setback in the previous round, scoring at least five goals in three consecutive matches. Even when they slowed down in their last league outing, they still managed two goals. Hearts, on the other hand, we…

Benfica are heading to Scotland, and that alone makes this a tricky fixture. The conditions won't suit them. I'm backing Hearts to keep it close, covering the +1.5 handicap.

This is Hearts versus Benfica in the Europa League, and I’m backing the visitors to cover a -1.5 handicap. Benfica are a genuine European heavyweight, and I expect they’ll have no trouble securing a comfortable win on the road.

Benfica will cover a -1.5 handicap in this Europa League clash against Hearts. The visitors simply have too much quality to settle for a narrow win, and I expect them to cruise past the Scottish side by at least two goals.

Benfica to cover a -1.5 handicap against Hearts — that's my pick here. A two-goal victory margin should come as no surprise given the circumstances.

Anderlecht brought back exactly what they needed from Thessaloniki — a 1-0 win, settled in the first minute. Now they just have to manage that advantage at home. After a few rough seasons, Victor Bruno’s side looks solid: they dispatched Hammarby, won the fir…

Handicap 1 (0)odds 1.95

Austria Vienna are the clear favorites here, and I don’t see Beitar pulling off an upset. The Austrian side has the quality and home advantage to control the game, so backing them with a handicap of 0 at 1.95 is solid value.
This is a straightforward play—if…

Austria Vienna may be the favorite on paper, but Beitar’s home loss in the first leg doesn’t tell the whole story. I’m backing the visitors with a zero handicap here — if they avoid defeat, the bet cashes, and at 1.97 that’s solid value. They’ve got the quali…

Playing at home in front of their own supporters, Gent should make their advantage count and win this one by a comfortable margin. I see them covering the -1.5 handicap without much trouble.

Gent on a -1.5 handicap is my pick here. The win by two or more goals is a realistic outcome, and at 2.26 the odds are tempting. Let's see if they get it done.

Győr's -1 handicap at 3.30 is the play here. The Hungarian league clearly has more quality than what Riga brings to the table — now it's just about proving that on the pitch.

Riga have a real chance to avoid defeat here. Győr aren’t exactly a powerhouse, and with the visitors getting a zero handicap at a solid 2.12, I see value in backing them to at least escape with a draw. This is a Conference League qualifier where the gap isn’…

Rangers have a great chance to cover the -1.5 handicap playing at Ibrox against Jagiellonia. The home crowd and the quality gap in the Europa League should be enough to secure a multi-goal victory, especially with the first leg taking place in Glasgow. At 2.4…

Motherwell came away with a point from the away leg, which sets things up nicely for a home victory. I’m backing the hosts to cover the -1 handicap at 2.20 — this is a game they should win with room to spare.

Shkendija will finish the job and get the win against Hibernian. Playing in Macedonia is a different beast for Scottish sides, as we saw with Hibernian's struggles in Kosovo, where they lost 2-0 to Malishevo. The home advantage here is a massive factor.
