Thursday’s UEFA Europa League Predictions & Picks, Including PSV vs. Bodo/Glimt, Zurich vs. Arsenal for Sept. 8

The Magic of Europa is not for the faint of heart. There is no harder tournament in the world to cap over Europa league. It is a unique opportunity for clubs that may never have played each other in their history matchup in a country they have never been too. Let’s try and find some winners in this bunch,

Thursday’s Europa League Predictions & Picks

Union Berlin vs. Royal Union Pick: Union Berlin -1 | -115 at DraftKings

Thursday, September 8 | 12:45 p.m. ET

Union Berlin shocked and crushed some parlays when they fought for a hard draw vs. Bayern at home. While you think this might be a fluke result, Union Berlin have been one of the most dominate teams in Europe.

Union Berlin have lost only two home matches since November 2021, an incredible streak given the opponents they have played. Royal Union surprised everyone last year with their performance in the Belgium league but it has not carried over to this year especially on the road.

Royale have dropped three out of the four away matches and now go to one of the hardest places in Europe to play. 

PSV vs. Bodo/Glimt Pick: Match Total Over 3 | -140 at DraftKings

Thursday, September 8 | 12:45 p.m. ET

PSV have been on an absolute tear scoring 14 goals in the last three matches in league competition and 23 to 7 on goal difference overall. With all those goals they still sit 4^th on the table and the blow out wins are not helping them recoup from dropping points.

Bodo are another big name that have struggled recently in league play. They currently sit 2^nd on the table and 10 points behind league leaders Molde, who they also just lost to 4-1. Both sides show their ability to score goals and give them up so the over is the right play here. 

Zurich vs. Arsenal Pick: Arsenal -1.5 | -125 at DraftKings

Thursday, September 8 | 12:45 p.m. ET

Arsenal may have finally showed us there true form last week when they finally played a real opponent in Manchester United and were crushed 3-1 and it was not even that close. They started the season off impressive and still sit at the top of the premier league table over Manchester city by 1 point.

It is nice to see Arsenal back on top if only for a short while. Zurich are off to a terrible start in league play after winning the domestic title. They are scored 4 goals in seven matches vs. much lower competition then the ones they will face in this competition. Play Arsenal with confidence.
