Europa League Best Bets for Thursday 15 October

Eighteen Europa League ties on Thursday, eight at 5:45pm and ten at eight o'clock. Five player bets stand out on our model, and the best of them is a centre-back who has committed a foul in each of his last six games. Prices were taken this morning and they move.

Everything below comes from our Player Props board and the model's projections, and the rule holds: we only name a selection the model rates above its price. Two Champions League nights this week produced 78 goals in 18 games, which is why today's Daily Acca carries an over 2.5 goals four-fold too.

Hoffenheim v Beşiktaş: Kabak and Topçu

Ozan Kabak to commit 1+ fouls at 1/3 with Midnite is 82 percent against an implied 75, and it is the strongest run on the board. He has fouled in each of his last six games, with a high of three. Emirhan Topçu 1+ fouls at 4/6 with Ladbrokes is 70 percent against 60, and he has done it in four of his last six, with a high of four.

How these picks work

Every price on the card is rated against our projection model. A bet makes this page only when the model puts it clearly above the chance the price implies and the player's recent games back it up. The hit rates quoted are match statistics, not settled bets. The full boards are on the Player Props page, and the Bet Builder Tips page builds the same reads into same-game slips.
