The second legs of the Europa League Quarter-Finals are heading our way this week. Check out the odds and ratings above then share any predictions you have below! 

[ALEXXXXXXXX]

Slavia Praha

Slavia Praha won 2-0 in the last round of the league, unbeaten in 23 consecutive matches, with a winning rate of over 70% and a perfect performance. They eliminated Leicester City and Glasgow Rangers who were stronger than themselves. In the first leg, a 1-1 draw with Arsenal and took the initiative.

 

Arsenal

Arsenal beat Sheffield United 3-0 in the last round of the league. Lacazette scored 2 goals and morale improved. The team's state is very unstable this season. It is very difficult to qualify for the Europa League next season. They can only strive for a breakthrough in the cup.

 

Verdict:

Although Arsenal's reputation is great, the advantage of strength is very small, and they are still away. The 1X2 first odd is 3.35-3.35-1.91, which means support the away team. Arsenal would not win easily.

 

Slavia Praha VS Arsenal

Pick: X2

[ALEXXXXXXXX]

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent form is very good, winning 5 of the last 6 matches, including Milan and Tottenham. In the first round of the contest, Manchester United won easily 2-0 away. The mentality of this game is very relaxed and there is no problem in promotion.

 

Granada CF

Granada has not been in good shape recently. Although they beat Valladolid 1-0 in the last round, but they have suffered 4 consecutive defeats in the past 5 games and their morale is relatively low. In this game, they have to beat Manchester United 3 goals to advance, which is very difficult.

 

Verdict:

There is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and Manchester United's promotion has been unstoppable. The 1X2 first odd is 1.44-4.00-8.00, which means support the home team. Manchester United should win this game.

Roma vs Ajax

The hosts managed to break their winless streak in Serie A last weekend by celebrating a narrow 1:0 victory over Bologna. Thanks to that win, they remained in the race for the Europa League spot next season, being just a point behind their arch-rivals Lazio. Paulo Fonseca’s side has been pretty productive this season, but the home side has trouble keeping its net intact. Roma’s home performances have been quite confident so far, despite losing twice on the previous five occasions. Gialorossi secured an excellent result in Amsterdam, and a 2:1 advantage is a considerable capital ahead of this match. Edin Dzeko and the lads need to put another efficient performance to secure a place in the semi-finals.

Despite being dominant in the first-leg, Ajax failed to put themselves in a commanding position in this tie. They went 1:0 ahead just before halftime, and that’s the perfect moment in matches like this. The Dutch team continued in the same fashion until the hour mark when everything turned upside-down. Dusan Tadic missed the chance to convert the penalty kick and drive his team to the victory. Instead, Erik Ten Hag’s side severely dropped in performance, and Roma quickly equalized. Eventually, Ajax conceded late in the game, and they will need to try catching up with rivals in this game. Ajax didn’t have enough stability in defense, especially since the third-choice goalie needed to put the gloves on. The visitors will still miss Andre Onana on the goal line, but Martin Stekelenburg should be back from injury. Daley Blind will miss out like in the first leg game, but the away side has enough options in the middle of the park. They will need to convert their chances into goals to get an opportunity to advance to the semi-finals.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Despite Roma’s advantage, everything is still open in this tie. Nobody should underestimate Ajax, as this team has massive attacking potential, while Gialorossi have been poor in the back. We don’t think Ajax will lose this game, but it’s questionable if it will be enough for a place among the best four Europa League teams.

Goals Market Prediction

Both teams have been clinical in front of the oppositions’ net this season, and we believe they will keep up where they left off. Neither of the sides managed to keep the clean sheet in their previous three encounters, so we expect the tradition to continue in this one.

Ajax AH +0 @ 1.85

BTTS Yes @ 1.45

Correct score 1:2 @ 9.5022Bet

Slavia Prague vs Arsenal

Tomas Holes’s goal in the final second of the first-leg match brought Slavia Prague a valuable 1:1 draw from London. The hosts face the UK side for the third time in the knockout stage of this competition, and they have been successful on the previous two occasions. Unlike those, Slavia will play the second leg at home and try to find a place among the top four Europa League teams. Jindrich Trpisovsky’s side heads to this match after a 2:0 victory in the Prague Derby against Sparta, which brought them very close to defending the title. However, the hosts will have selection issues once again. Ondrej Kudela serves his 10-match ban due to the racist outburst against Rangers in the first knockout round. Peter Olayinka and Abdallah Sima will also be unable to help their teammates, while the first-choice goalkeeper Ondrej Kolar is back in the squad. Slavia should put another disciplined performance, and the hosts hold their fate in their hands in this tie.

Arsenal broke their four-game winless streak with a convincing 3:0 victory away to Sheffield United last weekend. However, the away side is still far from challenging the Europa League qualification through the Premier League for the next season. They are nine points behind the fifth-placed Chelsea, and Mikel Arteta’s side has been very inconsistent this season. Their only chance to enjoy the continental campaign in the next season is to win this competition. The Gunners will need to search for an away goal as a precondition to advancing to the next round. Alexandre Lacazette will be the major threat for the opposition’s goalkeeper, as he scored a brace last weekend. However, Pierre Aubameyang and Martin Odegaard are doubtful for this clash, while David Luiz is definitely out. Arsenal needs to be clinical in front of the rival’s net to get a chance for progressing further.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Slavia Prague enjoys an excellent campaign, both on the domestic and continental stage. Despite their selection issues, the bookies severely underestimate the hosts. They will fight for a ticket to the semi-finals and might remain undefeated.

Goals Market Prediction

The home side rarely concedes at the home ground, but Arsenal has been very productive on the road lately. As the Gunners will search for an away goal, and Slavia failed to score at the home ground just twice this season, we don’t think either side will keep the clean sheet.

Slavia Prague AH +1 @ 1.60

BTTS Yes @ 1.90

Correct score 1:1 @ 7.00

Dinamo Zagreb knows how to make a shocking result in Europe, as Tottenham knows it very well. However, the visitors have lost each of their last six games against a Spanish team, while Villarreal have an incredible record in Europe, so we support Emery's men to get the job done. I expect a very close game again, since Dinamo wants a goal, they want a goal for extra time, I will go with the few goals.
VILLARREAL vs DINAMO ZAGREB @@ +2.50 Under, odds 1.80

As Italy's last representatives in Europe this season, Roma can hold the Italian flag high, thanks to the advantage of the first match to face Manchester United in the semifinals. I expect a replay of the score of the first match and I expect both teams to score again.
ROMA vs AJAX @@ Both team to score, odds 1.50
