Europa League Play-Offs 1st Legs – Copybet
Thursday's Europa League fixture list features several intriguing clashes as Bologna travel to Norway to face Brann, while PAOK host La Liga side Celta Vigo in Thessaloniki.
Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest tackle a daunting trip to Istanbul to take on in-form Fenerbahce and a cracking atmosphere is guaranteed when Celtic welcome Bundesliga high‑flyers VfB Stuttgart to Glasgow.
SK Brann vs Bologna
These two sides met in the league phase last November when Bologna scrapped hard for a home point after being reduced to 10 men after less than half an hour.
The Norwegian outfit have largely been existing on a diet of friendlies this winter after their domestic league finished, but did scrape into the knockouts in 24th place.
Brann beat Rangers and Utrecht in Bergen last autumn, but were found out in a 4-0 home defeat by Fenerbahce.
Meanwhile, the Serie A side have been strong travellers this season, winning three Europa League away games on the bounce and have recorded three wins from their last four road trips overall.
Bologna look well placed to take a first‑leg lead back to Emilia‑Romagna.
PAOK vs Celta de Vigo
PAOK lost 3-1 at Celta in this season's league phase, but are capable of turning the tables on the out-of-sorts Spanish side at their home fortress in Thessaloniki.
The Greek club won two and drew two of their home European games at Toumba Stadium, conceding only once across that quartet of fixtures.
Their aggressive pressing and direct wide play often unsettle visiting sides, and they have been particularly effective in knockout ties.
Celta Vigo arrive with an inconsistent away record. Their La Liga campaign has also been patchy and they have struggled to convert chances on the road.
With PAOK's home atmosphere typically intense and the Greeks' defensive structure improving, the Draw No Bet angle offers protection while supporting the stronger home trend.
Fenerbahce vs Nottingham Forest
Fenerbahce deserve to be the favourites for the first leg in Istanbul thanks to their superb home form and Sukru Saracoglu's intimidating environment.
The Turkish giants are unbeaten at home in the Super Lig this season, with seven wins from 10 games, while Forest have struggled away from home in all competitions, recording five defeats in their last nine away trips.
However, the Premier League team do have enough pace and transitional threat to trouble Fenerbahce's defence.
Forest's recent European outings have featured goals at both ends, and they tend to commit numbers forward in wide areas.
With both teams showing defensive vulnerabilities in recent weeks, BTTS looks a worthwhile addition to a home win bet.
Celtic FC vs VfB Stuttgart
Celtic Park will be rocking for this one, but Stuttgart arrive as favourites after narrowly missing out on a top-eight finish that would have seen them go straight through to the round of 16.
Celtic's European home record is generally strong, but not against Bundesliga sides.
They have won only two and lost six of their nine home meetings with German clubs since Stuttgart's last visit in 2003.
The visitors' pace and verticality could expose some of the defensive flaws that have dogged Celtic's campaign, making Stuttgart's odds-against price appealing.
