It's a short priced treble for Paul Robinson's Daily Acca today, but it has still received a boost to odds of 13/8.

Bet 1: Back Under 2.5 Goals in Sociedad v Roma @ 40/85 - KO 20:00 GMT

Roma take a 2-0 lead to Spain in this Europa League last 16 tie, and with Jose Mourinho being the master of digging out results, I can't see there being many goals in this game.

The Italians will sit back and defend, and the defence will also have a point to prove following the concession of four goals at home to Sassuolo at the weekend.

The hosts are winless in five in all competitions, and they managed to score just two goals during that run. A total of 10 of their last 11 have seen this selection land.

Bet 2: Back Nice @ 4/11 - KO 20:00 GMT

Into the Europa Conference League now, and I expect Nice to extend their 1-0 lead in the second leg of their tie against Sheriff.

The French club are at home here, and they are unbeaten in front of their own fans since a defeat here in mid-October.

The visitors had some great results in Europe last season, but they were dumped out of the Europa League in the group stage, and only scraped past Partizan in the last round of this competition.

Bet 3: Back Arsenal @ 1/3 - KO 20:00 GMT

We finish back in the Europa League, with Arsenal still having a bit of work to do in order to qualify for the last eight.

They drew the first leg with Sporting, 2-2, in Lisbon, so it's not like Mikel Arteta can rest his best players tonight, despite having a big Premier League clash with Crystal Palace coming up on Sunday.

The Portuguese side are a level below the Gunners now though, and they will likely come unstuck at the Emirates.
