No fewer than 47 Europa League Conference to tuck into tonight but where to begin?
Motherwell are the first Scottish team in European action this season as they welcome Sligo Rovers to Fir Park. ‘Well somehow qualified for Europe despite going on a mid-season run between the start of the year and the end of April in which they won just one league game in 15 attempts.
That stat aside Graham Alexander’s men had a decent record at home last season. Take out their four matches against Celtic and Rangers and they picked up an impressive 31 points from a possible 45 on their own patch (W9 D4 L2) so Alexander will be aiming to travel to Ireland with a good lead from this evening.
Sligo squeezed past Welsh side Bala in the last round thanks to the heroics of their Motherwell-born ‘keeper Ed McGinty in the penalty shoot-out. Their last outing saw them lose to strugglers UCD who racked up just their second win of the season on Friday night, so not the best build-up for John Russell’s side.
Motherwell should be good enough to get the job done at 9/20. To do so while scoring at least twice it’s 5/6.
Cluj could run up a cricket score at home to Andorran opposition tonight. The Romanian champions suffered a heart-breaking exit from the Champions League qualifying stage last week. They conceded an 89th minute equalizer, which forced extra-time against Armenian champs Pyunik, only to concede a second last minute equalizer in extra-time, only to lose the subsequent penalty shoot-out.
That saw them drop straight in to the Conference where their budget and resources dwarf tonight’s opponents, Inter Club d’Escaldes who come from Europe’s second lowest ranked nation. This should be no contest which is reflected in the 1/18 odds on the home win but backing Cluj to score three or more combined with keeping a clean sheet pays 10/11.
Another team on the shortlist tonight are Molde (10/11) who are in fine form in Norway. They’re 10 matches unbeaten in Eliteserien and welcome Swedish side Elfsborg who are currently 9th of 16 in Sweden.
