Thursday’s UEFA Europa League Predictions & Picks, Including Fenerbahce vs. AEK Larnaca, Koln vs. Partizan, Qarabag vs. Olympiakos for October 13

Thursday’s Europa League Predictions & Picks

Fenerbahce vs. AEK Larnaca Pick: Fenerbahce ML | -120 at DraftKings

Time to jump into Europa and put our faith in a Turkish team, what could go wrong? Fenerbahce currently lead their group on goal difference with 7 points along with French side Rennes. Fenerbahce are are fresh off a 2-0 beating of Larnaca at home.

This match is in Cyprus however, where Larnaca are fairly strong. The difference in talent will the biggest factor as the Turkish side just has stronger talent to get all 3 points. Look for a repeat of the dominate 2-0 performance last time they met head to head. 

Koln vs. Partizan Pick: Under 2.5 | +100 at DraftKings

Partizan have had a great showing so far in Europa and sit at the top of the table on goal difference over French side Nice. They welcome Bundesliga side Koln to Serbia, who they managed to beat in Germany 1-0 for one of the shockers so far in the tournament.

Koln are even money favorites to get revenge today but Partizan are going to want at least a point to try and hold off Nice for the top spot. Partizan are incredible defensively only allowing 2 goals at home all year. I look for them to park the bus and hold for a much needed point to advance. 

Qarabag vs. Olympiakos Pick: Qarabag ML | -120 at DraftKings

Qarabag might be the best team you have never heard of. They are always at the top of the Azerbaijan table and always are good for an upset or two in major tournaments. Qarabag’s next victim are Greece’s Olympiacos who have zero points so far in the tournament.

Qarabag have a great shot to advance with 3 points today and are a dominate home force. Qarabag have gotten points in 19 of their last 20 home matches that include some big wins vs. Nantes, Zurich and Plzen. Look for them to be all gas from the start in hopes to grab maximum points today.
