<p>With a buzzing atmosphere in Galicia, the Sky Blues could take a significant step toward the knockout stages on Thursday night.</p>

<p>The team has won their last three Europa League encounters convincingly, netting 8 goals while conceding only 2, including a notable 2-1 win against Nice.</p>
<p>They have performed well in recent matches, clinching six victories in their last seven games, dating back to October 19, indicating strong form and an expectation of an away win.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Ludogorets, who recently celebrated a national title, are encountering struggles with consistency this season.</p>
<p>After returning from November's break with a 2-0 win against Septembri Sofia, this was only their second victory in ten matches in all competitions.</p>
<p>Despite kicking off their Europa League journey with a win against Molde, they have since suffered a downturn, losing their last three group matches with an aggregate score of 8-3.</p>
<p><strong>Prediction: Celta Vigo win @ 8/11</strong></p>
<h3><strong>20:00 Real Betis vs Utrecht</strong></h3>
<p>Real Betis may have been content with two consecutive 1-1 draws against Girona and Valencia, but they continue to receive accolades since the start of the 2025/26 season.</p>
<p>With an emotional 2-0 victory against Lyon in their last Europa League match, Manuel Pellegrini's team is aiming to recreate their previous European success.</p>
<p>Remarkably, they have only lost once in their last 14 matches in all competitions since August 31.</p>
<p>The enthusiastic atmosphere in Andalusia adds to Betis's hopes to progress in the Europa League.</p>
<p>Conversely, Utrecht, who had a notable 2-1 win against Ajax before the break, have struggled with consistency this season.</p>
<p>Hindered by a poor start to their Europa League campaign, the Dutch side has collected only one point from their first four matches, including a recent 2-0 loss to Freiburg.</p>
<p>They face a tough challenge this Thursday in Spain, having struggled in their away fixtures, including a heavy 4-1 defeat to AZ Alkmaar.</p>
<p><strong>Prediction: Anthony to score anytime @ 6/4.</strong></p>
<h3>20:00 Panathinaikos vs Sturm Graz</h3>
<p>Panathinaikos had a rocky start to the 2025/26 season in August, yet they have staged an impressive comeback.</p>
<p>With Rafael Benitez’s recent arrival making an impact, they celebrated a 3-0 win against Panzeraikos after the November break.</p>
<p>Following a 2-1 victory against PAOK just before the break, the atmosphere around the team is at an all-time high as they climb the Super League table.</p>
<p>The Greek giants are confident heading into this matchup after winning their last three games by an aggregate score of 6-1.</p>
<p>On the other hand, Sturm Graz, the last season’s champions, started the new campaign strong but have recently struggled.</p>
<p>After losing 2-1 to SK Rapid, their last seven appearances have yielded no victories, with their last Europa League game ending in a 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest.</p>
