Aberdeen and Motherwell reached the 2nd round of Europa League qualification in emphatic fashion – but how much could football spread betting punters have won? It’s the Daily Spread Betting Roundup.

Have Aberdeen ever reached the Europa League proper?
Attempting to put August’s controversies behind them, Aberdeen got revenge for Barry Town on Thursday night, as they beat Faroese NSI Runavik 6-0.

That overwhelming score line meant backing the Scots at a one-sided Aberdeen/NSI Runavik Goal Supremacy spread of 2.2-2.4 still made you 3.6 times your opening bet.

Similarly, the Total Goals Minutes makeup hit 336 against a high starting spread of 153-163. That’s 173 times your original wager.

Man of the match was Ryan Hedges, who managed to score a hat-trick in the 45 minutes he was on the pitch. With goals in the 50th and 59th minutes, and a penalty in the 86th, his SMM spread came in at a whopping 426. Buy at his substitute spread of 0-0.5, and you won 425.5 times your initial stake.

Aberdeen have never actually reached the Europa League proper, repeatedly stalling at the 3rd round of qualifying. The last time they were officially in a European competition was 2007/08, when they reached the final-32 of the penultimate UEFA Cup.

What is the furthest Motherwell have gotten in the Europa League?
There was an element of catharsis to Motherwell’s 5-1 victory over Glentoran. It is their 1st win of the 2020/21 season, on the 6th time of asking, and gives them a boost ahead of Sunday’s trip to Celtic.

All 6 of the goals came in the 2nd half, meaning the Total Goal Minutes makeup shot up to 460. Buy at a starting spread of 155-165, and you walked away with 295 times your opening stake.

That Liam Polworth’s and Christopher Long’s 75th and 87th minute goals were headers also pushed the Headed SMMs market to 249, against an initial spread of 43-50. That’s 199 times your original bet.

Like Aberdeen, Motherwell have never reached the Europa League proper. However, they have gone one better than the Dons, exiting in the play-offs on a couple of occasions.
