Europa League Round of 16 Second Leg Betting Tips

For our Europa League Round of 16 second leg betting tips, we have focused on two games in which the underdogs currently hold the lead.

Betting Tip 1: Olympiacos To Win

Olympiacos are in real trouble in their round of 16 fixture against FK Bodø/Glimt, with the Greek powerhouse needing to overcome a 3-0 deficit to remain in the competition. While this seems unlikely, especially considering that FK Bodø/Glimt looked rather strong defensively in the first leg match, José Luis Mendilibar will likely go all-out to give Olympiacos fans some hope.

On paper, Olympiacos are the better team and the current scoreline will only amplify the need to score goals, and a lot of them. While the Greek team are missing some of their key players, including their superstar and leading goal scorer for the season Ayoub El Kaabi, his replacement, Roman Yaremchuk, certainly has the talent required to find the back of the net.

We think that Olympiacos will walk away with the win in the second leg, however, we aren’t backing them to overcome the 3-0 deficit, especially with such a thin squad.

Betting Tip 2: Tottenham To Qualify

It hasn’t been a particularly fun year to be a Tottenham fan, and it was even worse to have been Lucas Bergvall last week, as his own goal is the difference between these two teams as we head into the second leg. The good news is that the second leg will take place in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in front of a crowd that will be more than up for the occasion.

Tottenham will come into this match with mixed emotions after securing a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth at the weekend, with Son Heung-min being back to his old tricks. Son has been sorely missed this season and while there’s no doubting his quality, he will need to show it if Tottenham are to get past AZ Alkmaar, who spent their weekend preparing for the clash in London.

While Tottenham have been performing significantly under everyone’s expectations, we can’t see them bowing out of the Europa League to AZ Alkmaar, which is why we’re backing them to win the game and progress to the quarter finals, be that through a convincing victory, extra time, or penalties.
