What is the best game in GW1 of the Europa League?

Leicester v Napoli

Leicester face the stiffest of tests to kick-off their Europa League campaign as they welcome Napoli to the King Power Stadium. Luciano Spalletti’s side, still reeling from missing out on the Champion’s League, finishing 5th last season but only two points behind second, have started the new season perfectly, one of three teams with three wins from three Serie A games.

Kelechi Iheanacho Player Goal Minutes (PGM) 19-22

Iheanacho can count himself unlucky to not have seen much playing time so far this term given how well he played in the second half of last season. If, as expected, the Nigerian gets the nod tonight, he will try and take out that frustration on a Napoli side that has struggled to keep clean sheets, despite how well they’re doing.

James Maddison FGS industry best 10/1

Another man with something to prove is James Maddison, who has fallen from the fringe of the England squad back to battling for his place at Leicester. There are few more skilful midfielders around, and there’s no doubt he has plenty of potential to grab a goal, either in open play or curling in a free-kick. And don’t forget, with Spreadex’s First Scorer Insurance, if your selection doesn’t score the first goal of the game but does get the last, you get your money back as a free bet.

Who are West Ham playing in the Europa League?

Dinamo Zagreb v West Ham

West Ham face a tricky trip to Croatia to start their Europa League campaign, and despite rumours that David Moyes will give some of this squad players a run out, they’ve been firmly installed as favourites to win here. Zagreb won the domestic double last term and are top of the Croatian league this season.

West Ham to win Match (47.6-51.3)

The Hammers will be more than happy to grab a point from this tricky away game and rely on winning back at home, and there’s been money on a variety of Zagreb markets. Selling West Ham to win Match at 47.5 would win 47.5 times your stake if they don’t win, but if the Hammers win you’ll have lost 52.5 times your bet.

Are Tottenham in Europe this season?

Spurs are in the Europa Conference League, and while a team just a couple of years removed from appearing in the Champions League final will have designs on getting their seat back at the top table, this represents a very winnable trophy. They start their campaign away at Rennes.

Spurs Europa Conference League Tournament Winner (13.3-18.2)

Along with Roma, Spurs are the biggest name in this competition, and plenty of punters believe they could go a long way. Even if Nuno Espirito Santo does rotate some of his players, Tottenham have a decent squad full of players looking to impress the new manager and gain more playing time. The Tournament Winner market awards 100 points to the champions and none to anyone else, so buyers at 18.2 will win 81.8 times their stake if Spurs do lift the trophy, but lose 18.2 times it if they don’t

Is there a Thursday Night American football game?

Washington Football Team v New York Giants

Both these teams lost on opening weekend and will be desperate not to fall to 0-2 in Thursday Night Football. The Giants have won their last five against Washington, though it’s the hosts that are slight favourites tonight to end that run.

Kenny Golladay Performance (57-63)

Wide receiver Golladay signed a four-year $72million deal to join New York in free agency in the summer, but has been struggling with injuries in pre-season. Despite missing the warm-up games, and not having played with his new teammates much, Golladay managed 4 catches for 64 yards in last week’s 27-13 loss to the Broncos. As his familiarity with the offence grows, will he be able to make more of an impact on the game? This market awards 25 points per touchdown and one point per yard gained by rushing or receiving.
