Europa League Specials…rooney Vs. Aguero

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Tottenham are the 5/4 favourites to be the British side to progress furthest in this year’s Europa League. Stoke have been impressive in this year’s competition and Hills make them 9/4 second favourites while Fulham are 11/4.

Two British sides (Birmingham and Celtic) are odds on (at 4/11 and 1/8) to fail to make it out of the Group Stage. Spurs appear most likely to be knocked out of the competition at the round of 16 (11/4) along with Stoke (14/5), while Fulham are 11/8 to go out at the round of 32 stage.

Rooney vs. Aguero

Wayne Rooney and Sergio Aguero both got on the Champions League scoresheet ahead of the Manchester derby on Sunday and William Hill make the England striker the 2/1 slight favourite to outscore his Argentinean compatriot. United are 10/11 favourites to win the match at Old Trafford with City 5/2 and the draw 23/10.

“It is likely to be a close match on Sunday and neither team will be wanting to lose their unbeaten record, let alone to their bitterest rivals and it may well take a moment of magic from the two sides’ leading scorers,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Europa League Odds:

4/5 Club Brugge; 14/5 Birmingham; 23/10 Draw
12/5 Wisla Krakow; 23/20 Fulham; 23/10 Draw
