Betting on Thursday's games: Accumulator Tip for October 26

It's time for the third round of the Europa League. Fifteen matches of this elite European competition are on the program on Thursday, and we have a lot of excitement waiting for us. Special focus will be on the derby of the round in which Brighton and “wounded lion” Ajax meet. Nothing less interesting is the match in Greece where Olympiacos and West Ham will play, and we will see a duel between Sparta Prague and Rangers in the group C which is the most unpredictable and most equal group of all.

Brighton vs Ajax (Europa League)

Brighton: L-D-D-L-L

Ajax: L-L-D-L-D

Brighton and Ajax will be looking for a first win in the Europa League when they meet at the Amex Stadium on Thursday. Brighton haven’t been in good form lately. They are five games without a win in all competitions and have one win in their previous seven games. They are winless in the Europa League, and in the Premier League, they are in a solid 7th place, but with three defeats after nine games. This is a nightmare season for Ajax. Probably one of the worst in the history of the club. After seven games in the Eredivisie, they are in the relegation zone having won just one game and collected five points. They are without a win in the Europa League after two games with two draws and are eight games without a win in all competitions.

Olympiacos vs West Ham (Europa League)

Olympiacos: D-W-W-W-L

West Ham: L-D-W-W-W

Before this match, Olympiacos lost to Freiburg at home with 2:3, and they are currently tied for third place with one point won. In the Greek Super League, they occupy the first position in the table with 19 points won, two more than the second-placed PAOK, but also one game less. In the last six competitive games, they recorded three wins, two draws and one loss. West Ham occupies the first position in the table with the maximum number of points, because before the match with Freiburg, they also defeated TSC Backa Topola at home with 3:1. In the English Premier League, they are currently in ninth position on the table with 14 points won, five less than fifth-placed Aston Villa. In the last five competitive matches, West Ham recorded three wins, one draw and a loss. West Ham are a slight favorite in this match due to the better position in the table, form and better players. However, we cannot bet on an "away win with certainty, because Olympiacos have the home field advantage. Also, we believe that the match will be more open, and our suggestion for betting is West Ham to score at least two goals in the match.

Sparta Prague vs Rangers (Europa League)

Sparta Prague: W-W-L-W-W

Rangers: W-W-L-L-W

Sparta and Rangers from Glasgow will meet in Prague. Both teams are in a fairly even group C. In the first round, Sparta played at home with Aris Limassol. The visitors took an early lead from a penalty in the 11th minute. The equalizer arrived ten minutes later, and then after a few minutes the lead. In the middle of the second half, Sparta took a 3:1 lead, and Aris managed to score another goal at the very end of the match. In the second round, the Czechs faced a more difficult opponent. They played with Real Betis and lost 2:1. Rangers entered Group C of the Europa League and started the competition well with a narrow 1:0 win over Real Betis. In an even match, where both teams had enough chances to win, Abdullah Sima from Rangers was the only scorer in the 67th minute. A surprise followed for the Scots when they lost to Arius Limassol 2:1 in the second round. Sparta Prague will play this match at home. They have the most important football players ready and fit and can rely on the good form they have in front of their fans. Rangers travel to Prague to win three points, but it will not be so easy. We expect to see scorers in both teams, but also for the number of goals to be more than 2.5.
