Dyche To Put The Lid On

Sound the trumpets and lay out the red carpet, for every Premier League fan's favourite gravel-voiced, bald-headed 4-4-2 lover is back to grace our Premier League dugouts once again, though this time accompanying the club he frequents as a fan and played for as a boy.

Sean Dyche is here, everyone, in a bid by Nottingham Forest to stop the rotting of what promised to be their most exciting season in 30 years before a ball was kicked ahead of the campaign. Coming in after the hugely unpopular Ange Postecoglou, known for his gun-ho, balls-meet-wall football philosophy, the Burnley legend has got a simple job ahead of him that rings similar to the one Nuno Espirito Santo had a few years ago after replacing Steve Cooper - make Nottingham Forest hard to beat.

😮 ANGE'S DRAMATIC END

Dyche is a master of defensive football, with his Burnley team being a constant for nasty, heels-dug-in football that preserved their Premier League status for many a year back in the day. He was less successful at applying this with Everton, but he joins a Forest team that relished this style of play under Santo last season.

His first task is a formidable one - survive a visit from a blistering Porto team that have won all but one game this season, and have only conceded one goal. Yikes.

Expect the clampers to be well and truly wedged on by Dyche's first Forest 11. We aren't saying they will survive, but the game should be significantly less open-ended than any seen under Ange in his (very) short stint. Goodbye, Nottingham Forest Over 2.5 Match Goals betting line, we'll miss you buddy.

Braga To Star Against... Star*

Nothing fancy here - Braga have won both of their Europa League games this season, but their patchy form in their domestic Portugal has seen their price rise to a nice individual 1.90 to come away with the win here.

Red Star are very much still the underdogs, as they have drawn and lost their respective two European bouts this campaign, but do sit very nicely at the top of the Serbian leagues with 10 wins from 10.

So on one hand is a side doing superbly at the start of their European campaign, but less so in their home league, and on the other hand is a side doing the exact opposite. Fun. Braga made simple work of a Celtic side who held Red Star to a point earlier in this Europa League instalment, and are undefeated in their last three overall as they start to gather pace.

As hosts, they should hold too much quality for their visitors, but keep an eye on the Double Chance market if you want a little more security on your stake.

Goals To Flow Like Belgian Lager

Real Betis are a side that like to force other teams into playing their way - fun, open ended games no matter how conservative their opponents are.

Genk are certainly a team that fits that particular genre, with the majority of their games being akin to chess matches in their cagey paces. The BTTS market has paid out in every single Real Betis game this season bar three, with only one of those outliers being away games. Genk are starting to slip into that market more and more domestically too - each of their last four Belgian League matches have seen both combatants find the net.

Individually, this comes in at a nice price of 1.57. Genk will try and keep the pace slow, but expect Betis to hit them where it hurts and get the game rolling at the tempo they like.

Roma To Bypass Challenge

The lowest odds of this accumulator, and it's fair to see why - Roma under Gasperini are fantastic.

They are coming up against a Viktori Plzen side who had a fun day in the office in their last Europa League outing - a 3-0 win over Malmo in which Viktoria had a man sent off, and their Swedish guests had two dismissed.

Roma are not about thrills and spills though. Under Gasperini's tutelage, the Romans have been methodical, analytical and able to pick about teams at a carefully precise pace through their domestic Serie A affairs this term thus far, barring losses to Lille in Europe and Inter in the league for their last game.

The loss to the San Siro massive will have hurt them, but this game represents a great opportunity for them to dust themselves off and keep the momentum building. Don't expect fireworks, but expect Dybala and co to ease past in the way that suits them.
