UEFA Europa League Predictions & Betting Tips 23/01/2025
Tottenham have a chance to force their way into the top eight of the Europa League standings when they face struggling Hoffenheim in Germany. Both teams have underperformed in recent EL games, but if there’s a win in the upcoming encounter, then expect it from the Premier League side, thanks to their brilliant attack.
Manchester United can seal direct qualification to the next round of the Europa League competition when they host Rangers in Manchester, as they currently sit in 7th place with 12 points, thanks to their three wins and three draws in six games.
This week’s Europa League gameweek 7 predictions were based on current form, data and expert knowledge.
UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Gameweek 7 Predictions and Betting Tips: 23/01/2025
AZ Alkmaar and AS Roma to exchange goals: AZ Alkmaar vs AS Roma
- Date: 23/01/2025
- Kick-off: 18:45
- AZ Alkmaar struggle to keep clean sheets, and we think they can repeat the same against AS Roma, who rarely go blank in EL games.
AZ Alkmaar scored nine goals and conceded nine goals in six Europa League matches. The Dutch side has conceded more goals than matches played. The fact that AS Roma has scored eight goals in six matches suggests they can score against the Eredivisie side, but we doubt they can return to Italy with a fresh start.
AZ Alkmaar vs AS Roma prediction 23/01/2025: Both teams to score - yes
Tottenham to bounce back to winning ways: Hoffenheim vs Tottenham
- Date: 23/01/2025
- Kick-off: 18:45
- Both teams have struggled in the Europa League this term, but the visitors have quality attackers that can hurt the very best teams in Europe, and we think they can cause harm to the Bundesliga side.
Hoffenheim will try to push for a win, but their poor form suggests otherwise. They won just once in six Europa League matches, and their poor attack suggests they are unlikely to score more than two goals against Tottenham, whose attack finds it relatively easy to score two or three goals, irrespective of the stadium. Spurs have scored 11 goals already in the competition, and we expect their attack to make the difference in Germany.
Hoffenheim vs Tottenham prediction 23/01/2025 : Away team to win
Porto to extend their winning run: FC Porto vs Olympiacos
- Date: 23/01/2025
- Kick-off: 18:45
- Olympiacos have issues in the final third, and we expect them to struggle the same in Portugal.
Porto may have issues at the back, but they make up for that in the attack, having scored 12 goals in six matches. Olympiacos scored only five goals in six matches, and we expect them to struggle in the attacking half away from home, which is a good thing for the hosts, who are pushing for a direct qualification to the next round.
Porto vs Olympiacos prediction 23/01/2025: Home team to win
Fenerbahce and Lyon to display their attacking prowess: Fenerbahce vs Lyon
- Date: 23/01/2025
- Kick-off: 18:45
- Matches involving either team are fond of finishing with at least three goals. We think the upcoming encounter will follow suit.
Fenerbahce averaged 2.66 goals per game in six Europa League matches, while Lyon averaged more goals per game—4.16, thanks to their superb attack and not-so-great defense. We think both teams can produce at least three goals in the upcoming encounter in Turkey.
Fenerbahce vs Lyon prediction 23/01/2025 : Over 2.5 goals
Manchester United to extend their winning run to four games: Manchester United vs Rangers
- Date: 23/01/2025
- Kick-off: 21:00
- Rangers may have lost just once in six Europa League games, but Manchester United haven’t lost a game in the competition this term and are in better form with three wins in a row.
Manchester United can seal their automatic qualification for the next round when they welcome Rangers in Manchester. Both teams are in the top eight, but Man United haven’t lost in the competition this term, and the same can’t be said for Rangers. Both teams have done well, but with how United have played in the competition under Ruben Amorim, it isn’t a stretch to expect a win from the Red Devils.
