European Questions Require European Answers: Accumulator Tip for August 20

The thrill of Europe flourishes on our screens, as do the Conference League and UEFA Europa League. Hearts of Midlothian pull resources towards the Doosan Stadium as they battle Viktoria Plzen in the first leg of the Playoffs. Norwegian elites Molde FK challenges Swedish regulars IFElfsborg at the Aker Stadion.

In the European Conference League, Danish giants Copenhagen raise hell against Scottish side Kilmarnock FC.

It's football of the highest tier, and we bring the games guaranteed to keep us all on the edge.

The race for the prestigious Europa silverware fosters as Czechia side Viktoria Plzen draws curtains against Scottish giants Hearts of Midlothian in the first leg.

High-scoring side Viktoria Plzen who currently are on a purple patch, having played eight games without defeat edged over Kryvbas with a narrow 1-0 scoreline to escape the qualifying round, securing a solid perching spot in the playoffs. They have maintained a streak of impressive plays at home, playing six games to emerge with four wins, one stalemate and one loss.

Hearts of Midlothian have had a rough patch in recent times, thrown to a horrific mix of losses and stalemates in the last eight games, staying shy of triumph. A slow start to the season sees the side.

Both sides present the best of their squads, with Cadu shining as the talismanic presence for Viktoria and Malachi Boateng holding down sights for his team. We expect goals to rain in this game.

Bet: O 2.5

Molde FK clashes horns against IF Elfsborg for the third, although the previous two times have been in the Conference League.

Molde lost surprisingly to a 1-0 scoreline against Cercle Brugge in the second leg after a victorious 3-0 showing in the first leg, earning them a decent spot in the Playoffs. This came after the same trend played in the early games of the qualifying round against Silkeborg, when they itched an early 3-1 lead in the first leg before stepping back with a safe 3-2 loss, aggregating a 5-3 scoreline.

Midfielder Kristian Eriksen is expected to coordinate success as he links the defence lines to the foremen responsible for proposing decimating attacks to the opposition.

Elfsborg, on the other side of the pitch, is in impeccable form, entering this fixture as a worthy contender, having stayed unbeaten in the last five games across the Allsvenskan and the UEFA Europa.

We expect goals from the two sides.

FC Copenhagen plays the strings against Kilmarnock in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League. The two sides have been impressive in the tournament, registering goals across the board.

Copenhagen has thrived through the last five league games with three wins and two stalemates. Penalties were their way of escape against Banik Ostrava after playing 1-1 on aggregates.

The scoreboard is expected to register numbers from only one side, Copenhagen, who are expected to cruise through this game without breaking a sweat.

Bet: BTTS - NO
