The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

Benfica Big Favourites on the Full-Time Result Market

The bookmakers are taking no risks with their odds of -714 for Benfica which suggests that the favourites have a 88% likelihood of winning this Europa League qualifying clash. AGF Aarhus are the +1200 rank outsiders, with the draw being a different option which could yield dividends.

Benfica at -118 on the Asian Handicap -2.25 means you are splitting stake between -2 and -2.5. A three-goal margin of victory against AGF lands a full payout. A two-goal win means half stakes refunded.

The expectation is that Over 2.5 Goals will be scored according to the latest odds. An alternative angle is a Both Teams to Score bet and Yes has been chalked up at -128.

You’ll love the hundreds of markets if you want to wager on the Europa League qualifying coupon and we advise heading to the leading sports betting sites to get the football wager that you think is value.

Vangelis Pavlidis Favourite to Be First Goalscorer

Those interested in favourite Vangelis Pavlidis to find the net first can get +185, while the Anytime Goalscorer angle could hold more appeal and this is -208.
