There are a host of Europa Conference League games taking place this Thursday night. Planet Sport have gone through the fixtures and compiled a list of six accumulator bets.
Gent vs RFS (Europa Conference League)
RFS may be in the midst of a five-match winning run but it's their Belgian opponents who are the team to back in this one.
On paper, Gent should walk all over RFS and win to nil. Da Buffalo's enter this game on the back of a three-match winless run and they will be looking to vent their frustrations.
In spite of their varying results, Gent have bagged seven goals in four games and should have too much fire power for this Latvian outfit.
Breidablik vs Aberdeen (Europa Conference League)
When you look at all the Europa Conference League fixtures this Thursday night, none have the stench of a draw more than this one.
Breidablik enjoyed a huge victory over Austria Vienna in the previous round, winning 3-2 on aggregate. Aberdeen, meanwhile, progressed past Swedish side Hacken.
The hosts are coming into this game on the back of a 4-0 league victory against one of the title contenders.
The Scots also enjoyed league success, winning 2-0 over Dundee United in their first Premiership outing of the season.
With both teams performing well, the draw is the bet to back at 13/5.
Rakow Czestochowa vs Rubin Kazan (Europa Conference League)
Rubin Kazan will be looking to maintain their 100% win rate this season when they take on Polish side, Rakow Czestochowa.
This should be an easy outing for the Russians considering the great run of form they're on.
Rakow, on the other hand, barely progressed to this stage and faced a 3-0 loss in the Polish Ekstraklasa over the weekend.
Kazan are handsomely priced at 5/4 and they're a solid addition to any acca.
Shamrock Rovers vs Teuta (Europa Conference League)
Having been priced at 40/85, the bookmakers are expecting Shamrock Rovers to get the better of their Albanian opponents.
Rovers are in sensational form having won four straight games, scoring 11 goals in the process.
Teuta, on the other hand, were dumped out from Champions League qualifiers and only progressed to this stage of the Europa Conference League thanks to an extra-time victory over Andorra's Inter Escaldes.
The outright price may not be great but as an addition to an acca, Shamrock Rovers are a great choice.
Ujpest vs Basel (Europa Conference League)
This is not a question of if but how many.
Basel have won all four of their games this season, scoring 13 goals and conceding one in the process.
Ujpest, on the other hand, are coming into this game on the back of a 2-1 league defeat to Puskas Academy.
Basel were also in league action last week but they came out 6-1 winners over Sion.
Again, at 1/2 Basel may not offer great outright value. But, when it comes to an accumulator, the Swiss side are a solid addition.
Santa Clara vs Olimpija Ljubljana (Europa Conference League)
Santa Clara will be eyeing their fourth straight victory of the season when they welcome Olimpija Ljubljana to Ponta Delgada.
The Portuguese outfit are yet to concede a goal from their opening three games and are well backed by the bookies to maintain their winning run.
Olimija are a decent side but they simply lack enough quality to trouble the hosts.
Santa Clara to win to nil is the bet to back.
