Europa Conference League Picks: Liepaja vs. Young Boys, Alkmaar vs. Tuzla City, Molde vs. Elfsborg – July 21, 2022

The magic of Europa, some people love it and others hate it. Europa is one of the great mysteries of the soccer world so lets dive into some matches.

FK Liepaja (Latvia) vs Young Boys (Swiss) Pick: Young Boys -2 | -105 at DraftKings

There were a lot of question marks coming into the season for the Young Boys after losing their leading scorer Jordan Siebatcheu to Union Berlin but they seemed to be answered quickly. Young Boys crushed last years league champs Zurich 4-0 and put the league on notice that they are back for the title this year.

Liepaja are currently sitting 4th in Latvia top league table in the heart of their season and are nothing special. I expect Young Boys to run away with this one with a push at worst.

Alkmaar (Netherlands) vs Tuzla City (Bosnia) Pick: Alkmaar Team Total Over 2.5 | -140 at DraftKings

This is a tale of 2 teams that have a huge talent gap. Alkmaar are one of the powerhouses of Netherlands soccer and score a lot of goals. They finished behind the big 3 in the league but return several starters to try and make a run this year.

Pavlidis and Karlsson were 2 of Alkmaar top goal scorers last year and look to kick their season off with a big win at home.

Molde (Norway) vs Elfsborg (Sweden) Pick: Over 2.5 | -135 at DraftKings

This is a great matchup of 2 teams that are already deep into their league seasons. Molde sit at the top of the table in Norway and average almost 3 goals a match. Molde overs at home have cashed the last 6/8 for league matches with both teams scoring.

Elfsborg also know how to score, averaging 3+ goals a match while sitting towards the bottom of Swedish table. I am predicting a goal-fest with a sprinkle of Over 3.5.
