Europa League tips: Burnley, Celtic, and Rangers in action

Previews and odds ahead of the first legs

The Europa League hits the play-off stage as teams from across Europe battle for a place in the Group Stage.

There’s a host of first legs taking place across the evening. And the UK has a trio of representatives involved. Celtic take on FK Suduva, Rangers face FC Ufa, and Burnley clash with Olympiakos.

And the Coral News Team you covered with those three games with odds and tips, and a couple of select games from elsewhere.

Suduva v Celtic

Brendan Rodgers will have been disappointed (that) his side missed out on the Champions League Group Stage. But Celtic still have the opportunity to be playing European footy up until Christmas, at least.

And the Hoops will be confident ahead of a two-legged clash against Lithuania’s Suduva. They’re 4/11 to get the job done tonight.

However, Rodgers’ outfit haven’t been in their best form of late. And the Glasgow giants will be without a key trio in Jack Hendry, Dedryck Boyata, and Odsonne Edouard.

And poor away form in Europe still follows them. Suduva are relative minnows in European competitions. But they’re 21/10 on the Double Chance market here.

Rangers v Ufa

Celtic’s arch-rivals Rangers have started very well under Steven Gerrard. The Gers remain unbeaten under the ex-Liverpool legend. And they have navigated the early rounds of this competition comfortably.

They’re 1/2 to bag a first-leg lead over the Russian Premier League outfit at Ibrox. However, Gerrard has some injuries to contend with. Graham Dorrans, Jamie Murphy, and Lassana Coulibaly are all ruled out.
