August 13th: Thursday’s Europa League Accumulator – 5/1 Special, Betting Tips & Analysis

While Europe’s elite domestic leagues might be set to make their respective returns over the next week, it will be the Europa League qualifiers that steal all of Thursday’s attention.

With a stacked schedule from across the continent, there are plenty of eye-catching betting tips available in midweek.

For those of you looking to stick on a Thursday night flutter, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive Europa League betting markets.

Thursday, August 13th

BST 18:00 Pafos vs Salzburg 

While Pafos might have put in a largely spirited performance over in Austria last week, Ricardo Sa Pinto’s camp were hit with late heartbreak on foreign soil.

Eventually falling to a last-gasp 1-0 loss, the Blues have a real job on their hands here. Signing off their summer preparations with a rollercoaster 3-2 defeat against Slovan Bratislava last month, the Paphos-based outfit have shown some major inconsistencies on either side of the pre-season break.

It should be highlighted, the former Braga boss has seen his squad register consecutive victories on just a single occasion since back in February.

Likewise, extending on from their summer plans, Pafos have lost four of their previous five appearances across all competitions.

Dagging themselves to what could be a crucial first-leg advantage last week, Salzburg will be looking to officially extend on their Europa League qualifying adventure with another professional performance.

Despite being left frustrated over the weekend as they were eventually forced to settle for a 1-1 stalemate away at Wolfsberger, Danny Rohl’s men have enjoyed a bright start to the 2026/27 campaign.

With their sights fixed on mounting a genuine Bundesliga title charge this season, the former Sheffield Wednesday boss should also be excited by his side’s new-found defensive grit.

It should be highlighted, Salzburg have shipped just a single strike in over 300 minutes of action across all competitions.

However, continuing on from last season, Thursday’s guests have failed to notch more than a single strike in seven of their previous eight competitive battles.

Betting Tip: Both teams to score – no @ 11/10 1xBet

19:30 Rangers vs Jagiellonia

While there might have been plenty of excitement around Ibrox earlier in the summer following Derek McInnes’ appointment in Glasgow, the former Aberdeen boss already finds some immediate pressure mounting on his shoulders.

Failing to claim a first-leg advantage on foreign soil last week as they opened their Europa League qualifying adventure with a 2-1 loss in Poland, the Scottish icons find their European dreams firmly hanging in the balance.

With the pressure around Glasgow mounting further over the weekend as they eventually slumped to a last-gasp 2-1 defeat at home against Hibernian, McInnes’ downbeat squad have also continued to show some glaring defensive issues on either side of the summer break.

In fact, Rangers have remarkably failed to register a single completive clean sheet across any format since the middle of March.

Mounting what was a famous comeback at the Chorten Arena last week as they eventually dragged themselves to an iconic 2-1 victory, Jagiellonia are on the cusp of claiming a remarkable Europa League scalp.

Clinching a bronze medal finish among Poland’s elite last season, Adrian Siemieniec’s side should also be excited by their extended success on the road.

Relishing a famous trip to Ibrox on Thursday night, the Bialystok-based outfit have suffered just a sole competitive defeat on their travels since the middle of January.

Despite being pencilled in as a major underdog contender in Glasgow, Jagiellonia should be confident of testing an incredibly leaky Rangers defence in midweek.

19:30 Anderlecht vs PAOK 

Mustering just a single victory from any of their final eight domestic appearances across all competitions last season, Anderlecht found themselves under some public scrutiny over the summer.

However, enjoying what has been a dominant start to their Europa League qualifying adventure, the Purples also clinched an essential first-leg advantage on foreign soil last week.

Eventually leaving Greece with a hard-fought 1-0 victory, Vitor Bruno’s men will be looking to officially extend on their group stage charge with another gritty performance.

Likewise, opening up the 2026/27 Pro League campaign with a 2-1 win at home against RAAL La Louviere, Anderlecht should find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high.

It should be highlighted, Thursday’s hosts are enjoying their longest unbeaten run across all competitions since the start of March.

Missing out on the chance to claim a first-leg advantage on home soil last week as they eventually fell to that 1-0 loss, PAOK have an almighty job on their hands here.

Despite sending Dynamo Kyiv packing last month, Alessio Lisci’s camp find their Europa League dreams hanging in the balance.

Although Thursday’s guests might have collected a bronze medal finish among Greece’s elite last season, PAOK have struggled to find any kind of stability on their travels.

In fact, Thursday’s guests have won just a pair of their previous 10 consecutive showdowns away from the Toumba Stadium across all competitions – a rut that stems all the way back to February 4th.

Likewise, Lisci’s side have also notched just a sole clean sheet on the road over the past six months.
