Football lovers and bettors, the UEFA Europa League and Conference League both resume this week, and you can win big on BetKing by taking advantage of our free football prediction and expert analysis. As always, we’re offering markets on several mouthwatering fixtures this week, and we will be previewing six games with the potential to help you land that big win. **Roma vs Feyenoord** The first leg of this tie last week marked the third consecutive season that Roma and Feyenoord have faced each other in European competition, indicating a clear sense of familiarity between the two teams. Danielle De Rossi’s men came from behind to rescue a 1-1 draw at De Kuip and will be full of confidence going into this clash at the Stadio Olimpico. The Serie A side will look to build on strong recent form against Dutch opposition with just 3 defeats in 14 meetings (W6, D5). After beating Frosinone 3-0 at the weekend, Roma has a record of four wins, one draw and one loss in six competitive games under De Rossi. They will fancy their chances at home. Feyenoord are formidable opponents and will arrive in the Italian capital unbeaten in their last 11 matches across all competitions (W8, D3). However, to record a famous triumph in Rome, they will need to end a winless European away run of nine games (D3, L6) stretching back almost two years. While that may seem like a daunting task, the Dutch giants have scored in 28 of their last 29 away games, and snatching a goal here could be crucial. **Verdict:** Roma look like a more balanced side under De Rossi, and the Italians will lean heavily on their impressive home record this season (1 defeat in their last 12 home matches). This looks like a more cohesive team, and despite Feyenoord’s quality, our bet of the day is a narrow win for the Italians.
**Rennes vs AC Milan** Rennes are in real trouble after losing 3-0 in the first leg. After beating Clermont 3-1 in league action on Sunday, they must now attempt to do something that’s been done just once in this competition: overturn a 3-0 first-leg defeat. They can take solace in the fact that they were on an 8-game winning run before that defeat and have failed to score in only one of their 15 home games this season. Despite this tall order, the visitors are certainly beatable, as Monza proved by winning 4-2 at the U-Power stadium on Sunday. This result further hindered Milan’s pursuit of the Serie A title this season, leaving them trailing Inter by 11 points. Stefano Pioli’s side are already out of the Coppa Italia, which means the Europa League is their best opportunity for silverware this season. The Rossoneri haven’t lost a Europa League away game since December 2018 (W4, D3) but failing to score in four of their last six European road fixtures (W1, D3, L2) might be a cause for concern. **Verdict:** Milan hold an almost unassailable 3-0 lead from the first leg, and Rennes will need a miracle to overturn this. Rennes are capable of winning here, but we don’t see Milan allowing a three-goal advantage to slip. Martin Terrier has scored 6 goals in his last 6 games for Rennes, including a brace at the weekend, and we are backing him to find the net again.

**Bodo/Glimt vs Ajax** Bodo/Glimt threw away a comfortable 2-0 lead in their UEFA Europa Conference League knockout round first-leg by conceding twice in second-half stoppage time. With their domestic campaign on break until April, the Norwegian champions have had a full week to prepare for this clash, and perhaps atone for their errors. Despite last week’s frustrations, Bodo will draw positives from their impeccable home form, especially in Europe, where they have won 19 of their last 23 home games, including five out of seven this season. After scoring late to snatch a draw in the first leg, Ajax experienced a similar situation over the weekend, conceding late to NEC and settling for a second consecutive 2-2 home draw within a few days. As a result, the struggling Dutch champions head to Norway without a win in their last four competitive matches (D3, L1) Despite Ajax having a strong European track record, both their current form and recent history go against them in this context. They have drawn the first leg at home in a UEFA club competition tie 14 times before and suffered ten eliminations on aggregate, with the most recent being against Union Berlin at this stage in last season’s Europa League. **Verdict:** Let’s start this by saying Ajax have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last 16 games across all competitions, and you’d have to go back to September for the last time they had a shut-out on the road – it is just not happening. 14 of their last 15 games have seen “both teams to score” results, and when you add that to the 26 combined goals scored in Ajax’s last 6 games, we have a likely goal-fest on our hands. Brian Bobbey has scored 7 goals in his last 8 games, and our bet prediction is for the in-form striker to score again. _Take advantage of expert football betting tips; back the ‘over 3.5 goals’ option._
**Sporting vs Young Boys** Sporting are in a comfortable position after running out 3-1 winners in the first leg of this UEFA Europa League knockout tie against Young Boys. We expect the Portuguese side to finish off the tie at home where they have won their last 12 home games across all competitions, scoring an impressive 49 goals, and conceding just 8. They continued their impressive form over the weekend with a comfortable 2-0 league win away to Moreirense which saw them keep pace with Benfica at the top, and they will now look to win on Thursday and close out the tie. Young Boys bounced back from their first-leg disappointment with a 1-0 Swiss Super League win over Stade Lausanne-Ouchy at the weekend, a result which maintained their 7-point lead at the top. That result will certainly help build a little confidence for this trip to Lisbon, where they’re required to do something they’ve never done before in order to progress - win against Portuguese opposition (D2, L3). Their away record in the Europa League, with two wins from their last 16 games (D7, L7) makes that a very tall order. Take advantage of our free football prediction and back Sporting to finish off the job at home.
**Toulouse vs Benfica** Toulouse must overcome a first-leg 2-1 deficit if they’re to prolong their first European campaign for 14 years. Two Ángel Di María penalties; the second coming in the 98th minute, proved decisive for Benfica, and Toulouse must now focus on bouncing back at home. The French side played relatively well in the first leg and will back themselves to do even better with home support behind them. While they haven’t won any of the five games at Stadium de Toulouse since the Europa League group stage concluded (2 draws, 3 losses), they have secured victories in two of their three home encounters in Europe this season, including a historic triumph over Liverpool. Carles Martínez Novell’s men pulled off a stunning 2-1 win over Monaco at the weekend but were outdone by Benfica, who thrashed Vizela 6-1 and are currently cruising in the Primeira Liga. **Verdict:** Benfica have lost just once in their last 20 games and will be confident that they can close out the tie here. Their tournament experience and battle-tested squad should prove too much for their French counterparts in the end. There have been over 2.5 goals in 12 of Benfica’s last 13 games across all competitions.
**Marseille vs Shakhtar** After surrendering the lead twice to draw 2-2 in the first leg and enduring a 1-0 defeat to Brest over the weekend, the club’s hierarchy made the decision to dismiss manager Gennaro Gattuso before this crucial second leg. Newly appointed boss Jean-Louis Gasset faces the challenge of improving Marseille’s historically bad record against Ukrainian sides, against whom they have won only once in seven encounters (W1, D4, L2). He’ll also need to break their ongoing streak of seven competitive matches without a win (D4, L3). The Ligue 1 side should take some succour from the fact that they have lost just 2 of their last 15 European home games (W9, D4), winning 7 of the last 8. Shakhtar Donetsk didn’t play over the weekend and thus, have been able to fully concentrate on this encounter. Nevertheless, a record of eight losses in their last 11 European road trips (W2, D1, L8) will not make for good reading for Shakhtar fans. Their team must drastically improve on their road performances to stand any chance of progressing here. **Verdict:** Marseille are winless in their last 7, with 5 of those ending in draws, Shakhtar have also drawn 3 of their last 5 and we could have another draw on our hands here. Neither of these teams is particularly great defensively and we expect both sides to score, and the tie to be settled in extra-time or penalties. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s goal in the first leg put him level with Radamel Falcao as the UEL’s all-time top scorer (30), a record he can claim outright with another strike here. Our bet prediction here is a straight draw with Aubameyang to get on the scoresheet at anytime.
