Besiktas and Malmo went head-to-head earlier this week and ended with a 2-1 win for the former. But fear not, there’s a huge slate of Europa League football on Thursday.
The new phase of the league is starting to win a few more, and we would have reached the halfway point after the end of matchday 4 with the games coming into the new year.
There is still plenty of time for teams to secure a more advantageous position in the standings, but the table is starting to take shape. While Tottenham can afford to take their foot off the gas in a difficult environment, Manchester United desperately need three points on Thursday night.
Here’s how 90 minutes predicts that matchday 4 of the Europa league stage will be achieved.
Again, there is a healthy balance between early and late starts. Tottenham trip to Galatasaray is the highlight of the 5.45pm slot, with Ange Postecoglou’s side aiming to maintain their 100% league start in what is undoubtedly their toughest test of the competition so far.
The hosts are always well prepared when a Premier League The representative comes to town, and the Lilywhites will jump out with a win on Thursday after picking up seven points so far. Gala have been purring domestically and could enjoy a young Spurs side here.
rangers recorded their second win of the league stage against FCSB on Matchday 3, but they remain off the pace in the Scottish Premiership. Gers will not benefit from the comforts of home on Thursday, with a long flight to Athens on their bill. Conference winners Olympiakos they have found form in this competition after losing the first day.
Eintracht Frankfurt, Central Jutland i Athletic Club are the other top eight current starters involved in Thursday’s first pitches. Frankfurt has a potential opponent with a banana skin Slavia Praguewhile Midtjylland are on the road as they face aa FCSB team looking to bounce back from defeat at Ibrox. Athletic Club have been very efficient in three games in the league stage, and will be expected to triumph against Ludogorets on Thursday
Elfsburg have surprised a few with their performances so far, edging Gala close in Istanbul last time out, and will have plenty of confidence going into their upcoming tie with panties. While the Portuguese side are 27th in the table with two defeats, they have won their last three domestic matches. Elfsborg is one of several teams he has to overcome Rome in the last few weeks, and Ivan Juric can get the boot if his team is defeated Union Saint-Gilloise.
Karabakh they are moving up the rear for matchday 4 and one of the three teams without points. A visit to the Arctic Circle is not what they expected this week, where they are undefeated They/Glimt the team waits.
beautiful they were terrible in Budapest last time but have been an entertaining watch in Ligue 1 so far this season. They must ignite their campaign in the south of France on matchday 4 as they face each other Twente.
