After the Champions League took centre stage last week, the Europa League has been given a chance to shine with matches scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.
We’ve asked three Racing Post tipsters to give their opening price for the game, and two of them have backed an upset in Norway, so we’ve put together odds of 20/1 for you to consider.

Ahead of the Curve Treble

Bodo/Glimt beat Besiktas and Lugano at home in the Europa Conference League last season and took Ajax to extra time in the knockout round playoffs. Their Aspmyra Stadium home is not an easy place to visit and they host Porto, who recently lost to Sporting Lisbon.

The Norwegians have a huge advantage on their unpopular artificial turf, where they have beaten teams such as Celtic and Roma in recent years and have already won three Champions League qualifiers this season. They are a good team anyway and Porto might not like that.
Tactics: Bodo/Glimt to beat Porto

Hoffenheim have adopted a very open approach to the start of the new Bundesliga season and could be part of a high-scoring encounter when they visit Midtjylland on Wednesday.
Four of the visiting matches this season have finished with over 3.5 goals scored, and four of the home team’s last five, so it looks like a big success here as well.
Tip: Over 3.5 goals

Tottenham have conceded goals several times in wins over Coventry and Brentford last week and are expected to have another high-scoring game on their return to European action. Spurs have conceded goals in seven of their last eight home wins and have kept two clean sheets in their last 20 games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Qarabag are the outsiders here, but they are no easy feat – they scored twice when losing to Bayer Leverkusen in last season’s contest. Both teams have scored in their last six Europa League encounters, so back Spurs to win and concede goals once again.
Tip: Tottenham will win and both teams will score against Qarabag
