The next round of Europa League qualifiers kicks off mid-week, with an exciting lineup of matches scheduled for Thursday across Europe.
Among the highlights is the appearance of the prominent Portuguese club, Braga, as we anticipate 10 matchups in the Europa League qualifiers.
For those keen on mid-week action, we’ve compiled some of the best betting tips for the Europa League.
17:30 CFR Cluj vs Braga
Although Braga fell short in last season’s Primeira Liga title race, the team has shown great promise this summer. They recently secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Levski and wrapped up their pre-season with an impressive 3-1 win against Spanish side Celta Vigo, winning all five of their friendly matches with a combined score of 10-2. In contrast, Benfica has struggled to find wins lately, but has only lost once since returning from an international break in March. Braga, led by the former Manchester City coach, aims to seize an early advantage in the first leg on foreign turf.
CFR Cluj achieved a couple of 1-0 victories against Lugano last week, but they seem to have hit a rough patch with just four points from their last four domestic games. After a disappointing performance at home against Arges, Cluj will need to demonstrate resilience. Although their recent form includes a dramatic victory over Lugano, they have only one win in their last six Europa League matches at home, which could be telling.

19:30 Servette vs Utrecht
Utrecht experienced a letdown last season with a fourth-place finish in the Dutch league, but they’ve made a strong start in Europa League qualifiers, recently posting a 7-2 aggregate win over Sheriff Tiraspor. They are determined to make their mark in Geneva this week. After a solid 3-1 win in Moldova, Utrecht is brimming with confidence, especially given their previous successes against formidable opponents.
On the flip side, Servette is struggling, having suffered a disappointing 3-1 loss to Plzen and currently on a three-game losing streak across all competitions, with a dire goal difference of 10-1. Their defensive issues are compounded by a lack of clean sheets in recent matches, raising concerns about their form.
