LiveWhy we're on it
Monaco have spent the last couple of seasons in the Champions League, losing 5-4 on aggregate to PSG in last season’s knockouts. They’ve appointed former Flamengo boss Filipe Luiz as their new manager, and the former Chelsea defender has an impressive track record. He led the Brazilian side to their domestic title, and brought continental success in the Copa Libertadores. Strasbourg reached the last four of the Conference League last term, and this Monaco side are capable of going even further under a highly-rated young manager.

Why we're on it
City aren’t quite right yet under Enzo Maresca. They may well come good but Lens away was arguably the worst road trip from Pot 4 while Napoli and Leipzig represent stern tests from Pot 3. And then there’s PSG and Barcelona. Altogether a tough test.
Why we're on it
The home game against Bodo/Glimt and trip to Slavia ought to be the bedrock of a campaign in which Dino Toppmoller’s impressive group – who have already beaten PSG in the French Champions Trophy – can emerge successfully.
Why we're on it
Barcelona could easily lose in Paris, legitimately drop points at Galatasaray and at home to Man City. One more slip and the top eight could feasibly elude them.
Why we're on it
Arsenal were flawless 12 months ago and should have no difficulty getting to the 16 points which are probably required.
Why we're on it
BVB came close to the top eight last season and have a great draw this year with Betis, AEK Athens, Sabah and even Inter Milan at home looks winnable.
Why we're on it
PSV’s hammerings of Napoli and Liverpool last term were rare highs in an otherwise disappointing campaign. This season’s draw looks far kindlier for Peter Bosz and his Eredivisie big-hitters.
Why we're on it
After leading Manchester United to the Europa League final in 2025, Ruben Amorim is aiming to go one better with new side AC Milan. The Rossoneri have literally bought into Amorim’s tactical approach, breaking their transfer record to sign Goncalo Ramos to lead the line. They’ve also spent £42million on Diego Moreira, a winger converted to a wing-back at Strasbourg. Amorim can lean on the experience of Luka Modric in midfield and Mike Maignan in goal, while the club have some young talents who look suited to Amorim’s approach in Davide Bartesaghi and Alphadjo Cisse. While Amorim underwhelmed in England, his United side secured some impressive European results, as did his Sporting outfit. Armed with one of the stronger squads in Europe’s second-tier competition, Amorim can help Milan lift this trophy for the first time. Read our full Europa League outright preview

at Celtic
Ferencvarosi TC Double Chance (Win or Draw)
at Celtic
Why we're on it
Celtic need to bounce back after a 3-0 hammering at rivals Rangers saw them exit the Scottish League Cup in the worst way possible, but there is no guarantee they do that in their Europa League opener.

Why we're on it
Portuguese second-tier side Torreense look like one of the weakest sides in the League Phase. They head to a Lillestrom side that has won four of their last five matches, and home advantage should help the Norwegian side to a routine victory.

How to read the board
Each tip opens into three things: the market it's playing, the fixture it's built on and the argument connecting the two. We don't deal in mystery picks — the edge is spelled out so you can judge it before you back it.
Market first, always
Winner, goals line, both teams to score — the wording of the call tells you exactly what's being backed before you touch the write-up.
Then read the case
Open the tip and the argument is laid out — the form lines, the head-to-head and the numbers it stands on. Judge it on its merits.
Back the convergence
The plays worth real conviction are where form, fixture and reasoning all land on the same side. Anything less is a lean — stake it like one.
Which calls deserve your money
Not every tip on a board is equal, and pretending otherwise is how bankrolls die. The plays worth a proper look are the ones where the form, the matchup and the underlying numbers all back each other up. A side flying drawn against a side leaking — with a write-up that says exactly that — beats any single flashy stat shouting on its own.
Conviction is not the same as certainty
We'll happily tell you when we love a call. What we won't do is call anything a banker, because football doesn't have them — short-priced favourites get turned over every single week. Read each tip as a probability with a case behind it, and a long weekend of fixtures stops being able to ambush you.
Filter hard, bet light
The board is a filter, not a slip. Scan the strongest reads, check late team news and motivation, then back only the few where the whole picture lines up. Over a full season, the selective player laps the scattergun every time.
