Europa LeagueThe absence of suspended Maignan and injured Tomori and Gabbia weakens the hosts' defence.
Ferencvaros have won all three of their European games, scoring nine goals, with Zachariassen and Yusuf both in good form.

Europa LeagueJagiellonia have just three points and lost 3-0 to Anderlecht in their last European match, highlighting their inconsistency.

Europa LeagueOmonia have six points and demonstrated their threat on the counter with a convincing 3-0 away win at Celje.
NEC are without a home win in seven games and will be desperate for a result, which could leave spaces at the back.
We expect an open game with at least three goals.
Europa LeagueSalzburg have seven players unavailable, including Boma, Omoregie and Kitano, forcing them to make several changes.
Anderlecht have just three points and need a result, so we expect them to take the initiative in front of their home fans.

Europa LeagueFerencvaros play a physical game and have picked up plenty of yellow cards in this competition, while Milan’s attacking pace could force them into further fouls.

Our pick is a Milan win combined with a couple of cards for Ferencvaros.

How Reliable Are Our Europa League Predictions?
There is no such thing as a 100% certain football prediction, and the Europa League is a good example of why. Teams from different leagues meet each other, they often have very different schedules, and not every club approaches the competition in the same way. One side may field its strongest XI, while another could rotate heavily because of an important domestic match a few days later.
That is why our Europa League predictions are based on more than the names of the two teams. Form, team news, fixture congestion, motivation and the available odds all matter. We cannot promise that every selection will win, but our in-depth match previews and analysis explain the reasoning behind our selections, including how the potential return compares with the level of risk.
How We Choose Our Europa League Betting Tips
Looking only at domestic league position is rarely enough in this competition. A team from a stronger league is not automatically the better bet, especially if they have a demanding schedule, a long away trip or a manager who decides to rest several key players.
When preparing our Europa League betting tips, we look at recent performances, expected line-ups, home and away form and how seriously both teams appear to be taking the competition. Then we look at the odds, because the key to value betting is knowing when even a likely outcome is not worth backing at the available price.
Which Markets Do We Look at in the Europa League?
As with our other football predictions, we do not limit our Europa League tips to the match result. Depending on the fixture, our UEFA Europa League betting tips may focus on over/under 2.5 goals, both teams to score, double chance, Asian handicaps or another market where we believe the value is better.
This becomes particularly important in matches between teams that rarely face each other. Reputation alone does not tell the full story. Sometimes the better option is a goals market or a handicap, and sometimes there simply is not a good enough bet available. The same approach applies to our top football tips for today – we would rather skip a fixture than recommend a selection we cannot justify.
How Does the New Europa League Format Affect Predictions?
The Europa League no longer uses the traditional group-stage format. The league phase includes 36 teams, with each club playing eight different opponents – four matches at home and four away. The top eight qualify directly for the round of 16, while teams finishing from ninth to 24th enter the knockout phase play-offs.
That matters when making Europa League football predictions. As the league phase develops, one team may desperately need a win while another may already be in a comfortable position. That can affect team selection, approach and motivation, especially during the final matchdays.
Another important change is that teams no longer drop into the Europa League after being eliminated from the Champions League league phase. Once a club is knocked out of its European competition, its European campaign is over. This makes the tournament very different from the old format, where Champions League sides could enter the Europa League later in the season.
Where to Bet on Europa League Matches
Europa League matches are widely available across UK-licensed bookmakers, and the major fixtures normally come with a large selection of betting markets.
The more important point is to compare the price available for the selection you want. Even relatively small differences in odds can matter over time. That is why our UEFA Europa League predictions are not only about finding the right market, but also about deciding whether the available price still offers enough value.
Who Will Win the Europa League in 2026/27?
Picking one obvious winner before the tournament develops is difficult. The 2026/27 league phase includes clubs such as Milan, Juventus, Bayer Leverkusen, Marseille, Benfica, Celtic and Real Sociedad, which gives the competition plenty of depth.
Last season was another reminder of how unpredictable the tournament can be. Aston Villa won the Europa League for the first time after beating Freiburg 3-0 in the 2026 final in Istanbul.
Rather than choosing a winner purely on reputation, we prefer to see how the strongest teams perform during the league phase and early knockout rounds. Form, the draw, injuries and domestic commitments can all change the picture quickly, which is why outright Europa League predictions usually become more meaningful as the tournament progresses.
Which Club Has Won the Most Europa League Titles?
| Team | Trophies |
|---|---|
| Sevilla | 7 |
| Inter | 3 |
| Liverpool | 3 |
| Juventus | 3 |
| Atlético Madrid | 3 |
| Tottenham | 3 |
Sevilla are comfortably the most successful club in UEFA Cup and Europa League history with seven titles. Liverpool, Juventus, Inter, Atlético Madrid and Tottenham are next with three each.
Aston Villa joined the list of Europa League winners in 2026, lifting the trophy for the first time after their victory over Freiburg.
Where to Watch the Europa League in the UK
In the UK, UEFA Europa League coverage is available through TNT Sports. Matches can also be streamed through HBO Max, which became the UK streaming home of TNT Sports in March 2026. TNT Sports content is also available through providers including Sky, BT, EE and Virgin Media, depending on the viewer’s subscription.
Because several Europa League matches can take place at the same time, individual fixtures may appear on different TNT Sports channels or digital feeds. Our guide to Europa League broadcasters also shows the main TV channels and streaming services available in several other countries. It is therefore worth checking the schedule before kick-off if there is a particular match you want to watch.
