Analysis

Juventus have won 4 of their last 6 European fixtures at home in the Allianz Stadium, while NEC are playing just their second-ever match against Italian opposition in European competition — a significant step up in quality for their debut continental campaign.

Analysis

Real Betis sit 3rd with 12 points from 5 and have won both home league games so far without conceding, on a run of 5 wins from their last 6 in all competitions including victories over Real Madrid and Villarreal. Getafe are 14th with just 5 points, have scored only 3 league goals all season, and are still waiting for their first away league goal — a tough combination away at a Betis side in this kind of form.

Analysis

Both sides are out of form — Málaga are 17th with just 3 points and have scored only twice in 5 games, while Villarreal have lost 4 straight in all competitions including a Champions League defeat to Dortmund. But Málaga's attack has been the more toothless of the two, and Villarreal are overdue a result against a side this blunt in front of goal.

Analysis

Levski have kept clean sheets in 7 of their last 8 home European matches and are unbeaten in 9 of their opening domestic games, conceding just 4 goals. Salzburg are unbeaten in 12 matches this season but have lost their last 9 away games specifically in the Europa League — a striking weakness that lines up with Levski's defensive solidity at home.

Analysis

OFI have won all 4 home games this season without conceding and go into this on 4 straight clean sheets, but the step up in opposition quality is real — Hoffenheim have scored at least twice in every competitive match this season, including braces from Adam Hlozek, and should be the side to finally get past OFI's back line.

Analysis

Plzeň scored 5 in a stunning qualifying comeback against Crvena Zvezda and carry 14 goals in 7 domestic matches, but their defensive transitions have been shaky. Union SG have been ruthless recently — a 5-0 win over Lommel and a 3-2 thriller against Charleroi, averaging over 2 goals a match — both sides' attacking form points to goals at both ends.

Analysis

Palace, making their Europa League debut after winning the Conference League, have lost their first two league games at Selhurst Park under new boss Pierre Sage — an inconsistent home run. Lech won 5 of their first 7 league matches and scored 7 unanswered against Thun in qualifying, with Wålemark and Ishak a proven European goal threat.

Analysis

Celtic have won all 6 league matches this season and are unbeaten at home, with 8 of their last 9 games going over 2.5 goals. Ferencváros are unbeaten in 11 straight and have scored first in 7 consecutive matches. Both sides have scored in all 3 previous meetings between these clubs, and both attacks are firing.

Analysis

Beşiktaş are 2nd in the Süper Lig, have won 9 of their last 11 matches, and are on a run of 6 straight home wins including 5 clean sheets. Marseille have lost 3 straight in Ligue 1 under new manager Bruno Genesio and sit 13th, just above the relegation play-off spot — a stark form gap heading into Istanbul.

Analysis

Both sides are defensively fragile right now: Real Sociedad have lost 3 of 6 league games and just 1 win in their last 7 at home, including a 3-0 home defeat to Atlético. Bournemouth are winless in the league under new boss Marco Rose and have repeatedly conceded late in games. Over 2.5 goals has landed in 8 of the last 10 matches involving either side.

Analysis

City and Norwich have met 72 times, with City winning 39; Norwich haven't won at the Etihad since 2013 and have lost their last three meetings 14-0 on aggregate without scoring. Norwich sit mid-table in the Championship with 3 wins from 7 — a huge gap in class for a home Premier League side even accounting for possible squad rotation.

Analysis

Lillestrøm come into their Europa League opener on a 3-match winning run and sit 5th domestically, with prior European qualifying experience. Torreense, appearing in UEFA competition for the first time ever after a shock Portuguese Cup win over Sporting, have won just 1 of their last 6 and play their domestic football in Portugal's second tier — a significant step up.
