Porto v Rangers Bet Builder @ 3.13

Given the stark contrast between these two teams’ Europa League campaigns, it’s hard to see anything other than a Porto victory on Thursday night. Moreover, Porto also have the added incentive of securing all three points, as doing so could see them finish in the top eight and qualify automatically for the round of 16.

What’s more, Francesco Farioli has turned the Estadio do Dragao into a fortress this season. Porto have already taken top honours from their home meetings with Red Star Belgrade, Nice and Malmo, while in the Portuguese Primeira Liga they’ve won eight of their nine home fixtures. 

With that in mind, it’s tough to see Rangers taking anything from this trip, particularly after coming away empty-handed from visits to Sturm Graz, Brann, and Ferencvaros - with Porto representing a significant step up from all three. On top of that, Danny Rohl’s side could have one eye on their Scottish Premiership title challenge, with Sunday’s clash with Hibernian likely taking precedence over this dead rubber.

It’s fair to say Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland could be in for a busy night in Porto on Thursday. Butland has arguably been Rangers’ standout performer this season, consistently producing impressive saves throughout the campaign. With Porto likely to take a front-foot approach in search of all three points, a minimum of three saves from Butland feels well within range.

Across their Champions League qualifying campaign and subsequent seven Europa League assignments, Rangers have conceded a sizeable average of 15.47 shots per game, with 5.77 of those efforts on target. It’s also worth noting that Butland made four saves in last week’s 1-0 win over Ludogorets and was forced into action five times during a recent Scottish Premiership visit to Aberdeen.

Now set to face an attack-minded Porto side averaging 15.58 shots per game in the Europa League this season, with 5.58 on target, I think there’s plenty of scope for the hosts to work the Rangers goalkeeper three or more times on Thursday night.

One player Butland is almost certain to be tested by is Samu Aghehowa, who I am keen to back in the to score or assist market. Porto are a club that have consistently churned out talented strikers over the years, and Aghehowa looks like the latest.

The 21-year-old has netted an impressive 20 goals in 29 appearances across all competitions this season, three of which have come across his last three Europa League outings. Aghehowa is less creative when it comes to assists, having registered only 1 this season, but I prefer the added security of having the assist included.

What’s more, Aghehowa is likely to be rubbing his hands at the prospect of coming up against a Rangers side that has conceded multiple goals in all three of their Europa League away games this season. The same was true in two of the Gers’ three Champions League qualifiers on their travels earlier in the campaign. With several Rangers regulars expected to miss out at the Estadio do Dragao on Thursday night, this selection looks even more appealing.

Nicolas Raskin is always one of my go-to Rangers players for fouls, and I think he looks worth backing to commit two or more against Porto on Thursday night. The all-action Belgian plays with a real combative streak, reflected in the fact that he has averaged 1.84 fouls per game on the continent this season.

A closer look shows that Raskin has been penalised in five of his seven Europa League appearances this term, overstepping the mark three times away at Sturm Graz and committing no fewer than six fouls when Rangers hosted Braga at Ibrox.

The case for backing this selection becomes even stronger when you consider that the 24-year-old has committed two or more fouls in five of his last seven Scottish Premiership outings, including three against Dundee on Sunday.

In direct opposition to Raskin is likely to be Pablo Rosario, who has drawn an average of 1.58 fouls per game in the Europa League this season, being brought down multiple times in three of his last five outings.

Celtic v Utrecht Bet Builder @ 4.64

While Celtic have hardly impressed in Europe this season, I expect them to get the job done against Utrecht on Thursday night. It’s no surprise that the Hoops’ two best performances in Europe this season - a 3-1 win over Feyenoord and a 2-2 draw with Bologna - have come under Martin O’Neill’s watch.

Across his two spells in charge this term, O’Neill’s record is particularly impressive at home, where Celtic have won all four matches without conceding a goal.

Heading into their final league phase fixture on Matchday 8, Celtic could hardly have asked for a more favorable opponent than Utrecht. The Dutch outfit have endured a miserable Europa League campaign, losing six of their seven matches - including all three away games - and have already been eliminated from the competition.

Utrecht’s struggles extend to the Eredivisie, where they haven’t won since early November and have lost their last three matches. With all that in mind, Celtic look well placed to secure the victory that would see them advance.

Although I’m backing Celtic to win on Thursday night, I can’t fully trust them to keep a clean sheet, which brings both teams to score into the equation. The Hoops’ defensive record in this season’s Europa League doesn’t make for great reading, as they’ve yet to secure a shutout and have conceded multiple goals in four of their seven matches. That helps explain why both teams have scored in five of Celtic’s seven league phase fixtures so far.

While Utrecht arrive at Parkhead with little more than pride at stake, they do carry an attacking threat. The Dutch outfit have struck in three of their last four Europa League outings, including against notable opponents such as Porto, Nottingham Forest and Real Betis - the latter resulting in a 2-1 away defeat. I think that a similar scoreline in Celtic’s favour seems plausible on Thursday night.

It’s also worth noting that both teams have scored in each of Utrecht’s last six Eredivisie away games, further suggesting they have the firepower to breach a fragile Celtic defence, even if it’s just a consolation strike.

Callum McGregor came through for me by committing a foul at Bologna last week, and I’m more than happy to stick with the same selection this Thursday night.

The Celtic skipper has been a familiar figure to referees in European competition this season, averaging 1.18 fouls per game. In fact, McGregor has overstepped the mark in all but one of his seven league phase appearances, conceding multiple free kicks in three of those matches.

That pattern carries over into the Scottish Premiership, where McGregor averages 0.91 fouls per 90, notably being penalised at least once in eight of his 11 appearances at home this term.

With McGregor likely to be in a direct battle with Dani de Wit, the case for this selection becomes even stronger. The Utrecht midfielder has been fouled in eight of his last nine Eredivisie outings and was brought down twice during last week’s 2-0 Europa League loss to Genk.

Another Celtic player that I’m keen to back to commit at least one foul on Thursday night is Liam Scales. The Hoops centre-half is prone to being rash in the tackle, and that tendency has shown up in Europe this term, with Scales committing an average of 0.97 fouls per game.

What's more, the Republic of Ireland international has overstepped the mark in each of Celtic’s three Europa League home games this season, giving away multiple free-kicks in two of those matches.

Recent foul data in the Scottish Premiership strengthens the case for this selection. Across his last four league starts, Scales has fallen foul of the referee a combined total of 10 times, committing three fouls against Hearts on Sunday.

The likelihood of Scales finding himself in a direct battle with Miguel Rodriguez on Thursday night only adds to the appeal of siding with this selection. The Utrecht ace has proven to be a foul magnet this season, earning multiple set-pieces for his team in each of their seven league phase matches.
