British teams in Europe: What’s at stake this week?

There is much less at stake for some of the other British teams in Europe.

Having already qualified as winners of their groups, the pressure is off for Arsenal and Manchester City as they travel to PSV Eindhoven and Red Star Belgrade respectively.

The Gunners are 17/10 underdogs to end their group campaign with a win while City are clear favourites at 4/11.

Winless Celtic are condemned to last place in Group E and are 21/10 to sign off with a victory as they host a Feyenoord side certain to finish third.

Europa League

Rangers travel to Group C leaders Real Betis with qualification on the line.

Victory would seal it for Philippe Clement’s side but anything less would open the door for Sparta Prague, who face bottom side Aris Limassol.

The Europa League odds do not bode well for Rangers, who are priced at 16/5 for victory in Spain while Sparta are firm favourites at 20/23 for victory in Cyprus.

West Ham and Brighton are already through but top spots in their respective Groups A and B – which mean avoiding a play-off tie against a team dropping out of the Champions League – are still to be determined.

The Hammers’ clash with Freiburg and Brighton’s meeting with Marseille, both at home, are effectively shootouts for first place and they are 3/4 and 4/6 respectively for victory on Thursday.

Liverpool are already guaranteed top place in Group E regardless of their result at Belgian league leaders Union Saint-Gilloise, who are 17/10 to beat what is likely to be a weakened Reds team.

Europa Conference League

Of all the British teams in Europe this week, none can be in as high spirits as Aston Villa, who look genuine contenders in the Premier League title race after beating Arsenal and Man City in the space of four days.

They have already secured their place in the knockout stages of the Europa Conference League and will win Group E if they avoid defeat at Bosnian side Zrinjski Mostar, which they should manage given they are just 4/9 for the win.

Aberdeen, who are out of contention, end their campaign as 19/5 shots at home to Eintracht Frankfurt.
