Ararat-Armenia
AZ AlkmaarWhy this pick: Although AZ are currently not in ideal form, here I suggest considering a negative handicap on the away team. After all, the hosts make too many mistakes in defense.

Dinamo Zagreb
NEC NijmegenWhy this pick: I’m considering a straight home win here. The difference in class is striking, after all, and Dinamo have far more experience, considering their performances in European competitions. It is clear that Nijmegen are not in the best form. They had some decent spells last season, but they are currently unable to stop the decline, so I see no reason why the underdog would ultimately put up a fight.

Lech Poznan
SunderlandWhy this pick: Sunderland are stronger than their opponents and are in a comfortable position in the standings. Lech, on the other hand, are under pressure after two heavy defeats and are forced to play for a win. I don't think the need to open up will benefit the Polish team. The English side will get space and be able to take advantage of their superior class.

Ferencvarosi TC
TorreenseWhy this pick: Ferencváros are stronger, more experienced, and playing at home. All of this speaks in favor of the Hungarian team. However, Torreense have already shown that they are capable of surprising and competing for points at this level. Therefore, I do not expect a mandatory home win, but I also do not believe they will lose. At the same time, the match is unlikely to be high-scoring.
UEFA Europa LeagueWon0:2
OFI
Bayer LeverkusenWhy this pick: OFI are weaker and are hardly likely to be able to offer Bayer much resistance. The difference in class between the teams is indeed substantial. I do not think the Greeks will be as fortunate with their finishing again as they were in the matches against Hoffenheim and Rennes. I expect a solid defensive performance from Leverkusen and their deserved victory.
