Thursday Football Accumulator Prediction
Monaco vs Bayer Leverkusen
Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen played a five-goal thriller in the first leg in Germany. Monaco led 1-0 at halftime before the match exploded with goals. Bayer Leverkusen couldn’t get on top and struggled to keep Monaco’s high-power offence from scoring goals.
The last three meetings between Monaco and Bayer finished with more than 1.5 goals scored. Our betting tips prediction is for Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen to once against combine for more than 1.5 goals on Thursday in the Europa League.
Monaco’s last nine games in all competitions ended with more than 1.5 goals tallied. Bayer Leverkusen’s last three fixtures in all competitions ended with more than 1.5 goals scored. Leverkusen are coming off a 2-1 loss to Mainz, while Monaco won in Ligue 1 versus Brest, 2-1.
Leverkusen must score goals to avoid elimination from the Europa League. A goal for Leverkusen would force Monaco to attack.
Roma vs Red Bull Salzburg
Roma were beaten by Red Bull Salzburg 1-0 in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 playoff. The game was low on goals and chances over the course of the 90 minutes. The first leg went into halftime scoreless and one late goal settled the match for Salzburg.
Nine straight Roma matches in all competitions finished with under 3.5 goals scored. Four of Red Bull Salzburg’s last six games in all competitions finished with under 3.5 goals.
Salzburg are a strong-scoring side on the domestic front. However, playing stronger teams in Europe leads to fewer goals per match for the Red Bulls. Five of Red Bull Salzburg’s six Champions League group stage matches ended with fewer than 3.5 goals.
Roma should dictate the match playing at home. Red Bull will likely need to defend their lead and may give up possession to Roma. Five of Roma’s six matches in the Europa League group stage finished with under 3.5 goals tallied. Our betting tips prediction is for under 3.5 goals to be scored by Roma and Red Bull Salzburg combined.
Fiorentina vs Braga
Fiorentina ran riot in Portugal in the first leg against Braga in their Europa Conference League first leg match. La Viola won 4-0 as Braga couldn’t hang with them. Now, the teams will play the second leg in Florence.
Fiorentina could end the tie with an early goal. However, a Braga striker would make the tie interesting. An early Braga goal would make the fans in the Stadio Artemio Franchi feel nervous.
Braga’s last seven matches in all competitions finished with more than 1.5 goals scored. Fiorentina, on the other hand, saw over 1.5 goals in their last two matches in all competitions. Our betting tips prediction is for more than 1.5 goals to be scored on Thursday in Florence.
Fiorentina will fancy their chances of progressing to the next phase of the Europa Conference League. However, Braga could get back into the tie with an early goal. The teams could combine for more than 1.5 goals.
Cluj vs Lazio
Despite playing with 10 men in the first leg of their Europa Conference League match versus Cluj, Lazio held on for a 1-0 win. The Biancocelesti now head to Romania to face off with Cluj in the second leg.
Lazio’s defence kept Cluj’s attack at bay in the opening game and could do it once more. Cluj need to start well and a goal would get them back into the match. However, the Romanian team couldn’t break down Lazio’s defence in the first leg.
Six straight Lazio matches in all competitions finished with under 3.5 goals scored. Ten of Cluj’s last 11 matches in all competitions finished with under 3.5 goals tallied.
Lazio’s defence has been excellent on the road this season, conceding just 14 times in 15 matches. Three of the team’s six Europa League group-stage matches finished with under 3.5 goals. Cluj have allowed 13 goals in 20 home matches this term.
Thursday’s game in Romania between Cluj and Lazio could be very defensive. Based on the first leg, our betting tips prediction is for under 3.5 goals. All six of Cluj’s Europa Conference League matches in the group stage finished with under 3.5 goals.
FC Basel vs Trabzonspor
Switzerland's FC Basel will host Turkey’s Trabzonspor in the Europa Conference League last-16 playoffs on Thursday. The first leg ended 1-0 in favour of Trabzonspor. Playing at home could help FC Basel, but the match is unlikely to see a high total of goals.

FC Basel and Trabzonspor have played three times in Europe since 2019. Two of the three games finished with under 3.5 goals. Our betting tips prediction is for a low number of goals in a defensive game.
