Europa League

Jubilant celebrations followed Plzen's recent draw at home to AC Milan
"Plzen have lost just two home league or European matches in the last 30 months."
Michael Lintorn has picked out three bets from this evening's less fashionable Europa League encounters that might be worth combining in a treble...
Lay Schalke away to Plzen @ [2.02]
For Plzen, there was no shame whatsoever in finishing third in a Champions League group featuring Barcelona and AC Milan, and they even claimed a point against the latter. The Czech champions have lost just two home league or European matches in the last 30 months, so it's difficult to escape the conclusion that Schalke, who have suffered three defeats in six on the road, are being overrated.
Back both teams to score @ [1.93] in Hannover v Club Brugge
Hannover's last eight Bundesliga fixtures all had under 2.5 goals, but four finished 1-1 to satisfy the above criteria, while their Europa League games have been more open, both sides netting in four of their last five. Club Brugge will crank up the entertainment value, having fired eight and leaked two in their last two domestic outings. Their last four away Europa League ties have featured 20 goals.
Back under 2.5 goals @ [1.73] in Wisla Krakow v Standard
Based on both group-stage performance and current form, there is appeal in backing the visitors at [3.05], however with multiples, caution is advisable and under 2.5 goals looks even likelier in Poland. For starters, Standard haven't conceded in any of their three away games in 2012, while six of their last seven have featured two or fewer. Five of Wisla's last six at home have contained just one goal.
A treble on those recommendations using the Betfair Coupon provides odds of [6.05], so for a £10 stake, you would record a £50.50 profit if they all deliver.
