We had some good tips for the Milan upset on Wednesday, so how about we continue to try to hit it big with your ML upset special for Thursday's Europa League. Or any draws that will deliver as well at nice prices.


Ventspils DRAW +270
Ventspils has drawn both their Europa League matches to date & Sporting Lisbon narrowly edged Hertha BSC at home 1-0 & needed an 88th minute goal on the road in their other Europa League clash to KO Herenveen. In 6 competitive road matches this year since their domestic campaign began, Sporting has three draws in 6 matches. Also note they have only beaten one team on the road by more than a goal in their 2 wins, so Ventspils +1 might be a decent play. Don't think Ventspils will win, but they can keep it close. Will look more before deciding.

Sturm Graz +850
I think this is the best longshot on the board. The Austrian side played Turkish studs Galatasaray to a 1-1 draw last match on the road. Galatasaray demolished their opponents, Panathinaikos 3-1 on The Greeks' home turf. The Greeks also needed a late tally to take out Dinamo Burceresti in their last match 1-0. Sturm lost to that same Dinamo squad 1-0 at home however. An 80th minute goal doing them in. The Austrians have beeen dynamite on the road as well. In 10 matches since their domestic league began, they have lost just once - winning 7 and drawing the other 2. The Greeks have dropped 3 of 4 at home in Champions League & Europa League play, so they have been far from dominant.

Ventspils +500
Ventspils host Sporting Lisbon. Ventspils are in a rich vein of form, winning 6 of L7, scoring 8 goals in their L2. On the flip side, Sporting Lisbon are suddenly struggling for form, going scoreless in their L2. To compound matters for Lisbon, they'll be travellng to Latvia without 2 or 3 of their regulars.

Nacional +700
The game between Atletico Bilbao and Nacional is easily a toss-up. Neither team will be shut out, so the dog has a decent chance of barking hard at the favorite.

Cluj have a decent chance. But Heerenveen? Forget them.
