Ludogorets v Tottenham

  • 17:55 GMT on BT Sport 2
  • Match odds:
)

Best bet:

Opta facts

  • Ludogorets and Tottenham have never previously met in European competition.
  • This will be Ludogorets’ fifth game against English opposition, losing three of those other four matches, the other being a 2-2 draw at home to Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League in November 2014.
  • Spurs had never previously faced Bulgarian opposition but will do so for the second time in the space of two months having already faced Lokomotiv Plovdiv during the qualification stages of this competition in September, winning 2-1 away from home.
  • Ludogorets have only won one of their last 11 home matches in the UEFA Europa League (D4 L6), a 5-1 victory against CSKA Moscow in September 2019.
  • Spurs have only lost back to back UEFA Europa League group stage games once previously, losing to Rubin Kazan and PAOK Salonika in November 2011.

Arsenal v Molde

  • 20:00 GMT on BT Sport 2
  • Match odds:

Arsenal should comfortably win Group B and they've started in perfect fashion with victory over Rapid Vienna and Dundalk. The likelihood is that they will progress with Molde, and perhaps the Norwegian side will pose their toughest test in this competition so far.

Even then, the odds are heavily in Arsenal's favour and Mikel Arteta's men should make it three wins from three which would make them almost certain to progress to the knockout stages. It won't be easy though, and the odds make it seem like it will be a comfortable home win.

They may well end up winning with a couple of goals' margin but they may have to be patient as they look to find a way through this Molde side. With Arsenal a very short 3/10 for success, the best value comes in the 19/10 available on the half-time result being a draw.

Removing that Dundalk result, where Arsenal were an even shorter price to win, games against Manchester United, Leicester (twice), Rapid Vienna, Sheffield United, Liverpool and West Ham have all been level at the break for Arteta's side.

Opta facts

  • Arsenal will face Molde for the very first time in this match. The Gunners have won three of their four matches against Norwegian opponents (D1).
  • Arsenal’s last match against Norwegian opposition was a 5-1 win against Rosenborg in the UEFA Champions League in December 2004, with goals from José Antonio Reyes, Thierry Henry, Cesc Fàbregas, Robert Pires and Robin van Persie.
  • This will be Molde’s first meeting with English opponents; Norwegian sides have never beaten English opposition away from home, drawing twice and losing 20 times, with a goal difference of -87 (13 scored, 100 conceded).
  • Molde have won four of their last six away matches in the UEFA Europa League (D1 L1), beating Scottish (Celtic) and Irish (Dundalk) opponents on this run.
  • Since the start of the 2018-19 season, only Munas Dabbur (13) has scored more goals in the UEFA Europa League than Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (12).

)

Best bet:

Opta facts

  • This will be the first ever European fixture between Leicester City and Braga.

  • Leicester have only been beaten once at home in all European competitions (W6 D3), falling 0-2 to Atlético de Madrid in September 1997 in a UEFA Cup tie.
  • Since the start of last season, Braga striker Paulinho has scored six goals in the UEFA Europa League from just eight shots on target.
  • Leicester have won five of their last six home matches in European competition (D1), keeping a clean sheet in four of those victories.
