BetUS Soccer Betting Verdict: Qualification into the last 32 is on the line as Sparta Prague and FC Copenhagen collide in the sixth cycle of Europa League group action. Little separates the two sides in the competition. They are both 2-1-2 so far. Both are on seven points therefore but the Danes are closer to qualifying, thanks to a better goal difference. This can all change with a win by Sparta. The two sides met earlier in Group action with the Danes winning 1:0. The Czechs have a chance to reverse the result with home edge and one has to give them the edge to do so.

BetUS Soccer Betting Verdict: Partizan Belgrade are pointless in the competition, drawing up blank in five cycles. Not only have they not won or drawn a single match in Group J but they have capitulated something awful against all opponents. In five matches they have conceded 14 goals.

The betting on this match is straightforward. Group J leaders, Shakhtar Donetsk are the sure play at -120. They lead Group J with 13 points and an undefeated run in five cycles 4-1-0. They also boast an impressive goal ratio scoring 14 and conceding only 2. When they met Partizan on match day 2 they beat them 4:1. Therefore best value in this match is the totals. Take the Over 2 ½ -105.
