Erik ten Hag has to do without Marcus Rashford tonight

It was a good Wednesday for followers of the Daily Acca, as Paul Robinson delivered a 3/1 winner, and he is looking to follow up in the Europa League.


Bet 1: Back Man United @ 4/11 - KO 20:00 BST

Sevilla have been having a poor campaign, but they have managed to scrape their way through to the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

Their journey should be about to come to an end though, as they just don't have the necessary quality to live with Manchester United over two legs - even if Marcus Rashford is absent tonight.

The Spanish side only just narrowly edged out PSV and Fenerbahce in the previous two rounds - losing both away legs - and they were winless in their three Champions League group fixtures too. United, meanwhile, are unbeaten in 14 at Old Trafford - winning 11 of them.

Bet 2: Back Leverkusen @ 1/2 - KO 20:00 BST

Two in-form teams meet in Germany tonight, and I am backing the hosts to come out on top and build a first leg lead.

Bayer Leverkusen are currently on a seven match winning run in all competitions, and they are nine without defeat. They failed to make it out of their Champions League group, but that was prior to the World Cup, and they have been in much better form since.

Union Saint Gilloise are unbeaten in seven, but it has to be said that the Belgian league is less competitive than the Bundesliga, and they were knocked out of Champions qualifying by Rangers.

Bet 3: Back Juventus @ 3/4 - KO 20:00 BST

Juventus are only seventh in Serie A, but that is a bit of a false position as they had a 15 point deduction. If you add those back on, they would be in second.

What it also means though, is that they are highly unlikely to qualify for next season's Champions League - unless they win this competition.

Massimiliano Allegri's men have real shot of getting that done, and while they lost 2-1 at Lazio at the weekend, I am not overly concerned by it.

Sporting Lisbon knocked Arsenal out in the last 16, but the Gunners probably had more of their focus on their Premier League title bid, and I don't really rate the Portuguese club highly enough to think that they can get a result in Turin.
