Midtjylland made it all the way to the last 16 before exiting Nottingham Forest last season but faces a tough test away to Besiktas this evening.
The Turkish giants lost to Shakhtar Donetsk at the same stage a year ago, so they will be desperate to make amends by putting the Danes on the floor.
Best betting tips for the match Besiktas – Midtjylland
Besiktas also had a poor domestic campaign last season, finishing fourth, with former Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano tasked with leading the revival.
It’s a baptism of fire for the Italian, but he’s been supported in the transfer market, with Besiktas spending big on players like Leandro Trossard and Orkun Kokcu.
Midtjylland don’t have the same spending power, but they have managed to retain most of last season’s squad, with the only notable departure being Aral Simsir.
However, winning in Turkey remains a tall order and Besiktas look to be in contention for a win that evening, although the Danes could turn things around on home soil.
The Turks should apply the most pressure, so I also like the 21/20 -1 on offer for Besiktas in the corner handicap.
FC Twente vs Ferencvarosi
There’s another tasty Europa League game in store in the Netherlands as Twente looks to take the lead against Ferencvaros.
The Dutch side missed out on qualifying for Europe last season but impressed in 2025/25, making it to the Europa League knockout stages before being ousted by Bodo/Glimt.
They now face a Ferencvaros side who paved the way to the round of 16 of this tournament last season, making this a difficult draw to predict.
The advantage of the Hungarians is that they already have two games under their belt, and in the last round they beat Vojvodina.
They’ve scored five times in two legs so I feel we’ll see goals in both legs tonight, with BTTS combining for over 2.5 goals to win at 11/8 at Bet365.
St. Gallen vs Benfica
It’s surprising to see Champions League regulars Benfica fall short in their Europa League qualifiers and they face a test away to St Gallen this evening.
Things have changed at the Stadium of Light this summer, with Jose Mourinho leaving for Real Madrid and Marco Silva replacing him on the bench.
Last season, the Eagles could only finish third in Portugal, but have already prepared for the new season with Georgiy Sudakov and John Durant becoming well-known players.
They should be too strong for St Gallen and Bet365 make Benfica 3/10 favorites to win on Swiss soil tonight.
However, Benfica have conceded in their last eight away matches and may need some time to adapt to Silva’s tactics.
This makes BTTS and over 2.5 goals attractive again at odds of 11/10, while a Benfica win with both teams will score more at odds of 15/8 with Bet365.
