Europa League picks: Ajax and Zenit can bag you some extra cash for the weekend
Europa League takes centre stage on Thursday night and Sportsbet.io’s resident tipster has picked out a terrific 2.32 double for you get stuck into.
There’s a whopping 13 games taking place, involving teams from England, Spain, Germany and Italy — but we’ve whittled it down to just the two.
Ajax v Legia Warsaw (Back Ajax to win @ 1.43)
Dutch side Ajax returned from a tricky trip to Poland none the worse after being held to a goalless draw by opponents Legia Warsaw.
Ajax have a sensational record on their own patch both domestically and in this competition and will prove too strong for an up-against-it Legia side.
They may have dropped out of the Champions League, but they were battered by Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund and will be dumped out again here.
Zenit v Anderlecht (Back Zenit to win @ 1.59)
Anderlecht have given themselves every chance of qualifying for the next round of the Europa League having beaten Zenit on their own patch.
They travel to Russia with a two-goal lead, but it may not be enough as Zenit are a formidable force in the cold on their plastic pitch.
Zenit have played 38 Europa League games in their history and in that time they have lost just the one, don’t expect it to be two on Thursday night.
