Porto great value to qualify for the last 16 of Europa League

NAPOLI V SWANSEA Thursday 27th February, ITV 4, 18:00

As impressive as Swansea were in the opening leg you have to wonder if an inability to covert chances will cost the Welsh side who are 13/2 (GENERAL) for victory in Italy. Napoli have lost just one home league game all season and in the Champions League the Italians have already seen off Dortmund, Arsenal and Marseille. Considering the Welsh side have not won any of their last five away in Europe the 8/15 (SKYBET) a Napoli victory will be popular.

The best bet in this game comes in the goalscorer market where Gonzalo Higuain who has scored in five goals in his last four appearances at home looks a generous 9/2 (CORAL) to net the opener and 6/5 with the same firm to score at anytime.
RECOMMENDATION: Gonzalo Higuain to score v Napoli, first 9/2, anytime 6/5 (CORAL)

EINTRACHT FRANKFURT v PORTO Thursday 27th February, BT SPORT 1, 18:00

The German side came out with a great 2-2 draw from the first leg and are now just 4/5 (william hill) to qualify for the next round. Porto though have to be backed at 6/5 (bet365/paddy Power) to qualify for the next round as they have far greater European experience. This is not a vintage Porto side though they still showed enough in the opening leg to suggest they have too much for the German team when it all clicks together and a side that won at Austria Vienna and drew in Zenit in the Champions League are a must bet.
RECOMMENDATION: Porto to qualify for next round, 6/5 (bet365/paddy Power)

SEVILLA V MARIBOR Thursday 27th February, BT SPORT 2, 18:00

These two sides played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in the opening leg and the Spanish side are strongly favoured to progress and are just 2/9 (GENERAL) for victory on the night. I would expect Seville to win this though I would not be rushing to get involved at those odds so instead I would recommend a little interest on a side market. The Slovenian champions have to score because of the away goals rule so will come to attack and this should make for an entertaining game. The recommended bet then is to take both teams to score as this would have paid in six of the last seven Maribor Europa League games.
RECOMMENDATION: Yes in both teams to score market, 6/4 (william hill)

TOTTENHAM V DNIPRO Thursday 27th February, ITV 1, 20:05 A week can make a big difference in Football and last week we talked about the game as distraction for Spurs and now this game is a must win for the North London side as the Champions League is looking beyond them for another season. The English side are 8/15 (GENERAL) for the victory while Dnipro are as big as 6/1 (GENERAL). The best bet in this game could be both teams to score as Tottenham must come on the attack while Juande Ramos and his team will look to hit on the counter.
RECOMMENDATION: Yes in both teams to score market, evens (GENERAL)

TRABZONSPOR V JUVENTUS Thursday 27th February, BT SPORT 1, 20:05

Juventus have one foot in the last 16 after a 2-0 opening leg victory over the Turkish side. They will likely be popular bet in the accumulators though odds of 3/5 (GENERAL) offer no appeal to me as they know that a draw or a 1-0 loss will be enough to see them through. If you want to bet on this live game then consider YES in the both teams to score market as it would have paid in four of the last six games each side has played.
RECOMMENDATION: Yes in both teams to score market, 13/15 (888 SPORT/unibet)
