We’ve got a double feature on October 24 with both Europa League matchday 3 and Conference League matchday 2. We’ve handpicked the most exciting clashes from each competition, and the bookmakers have made their predictions. Let’s break it down!

Europa League – Matchday 3

FC Midtjylland vs. Union Saint-Gilloise

On 24/10 at 6.45 pm

Most likely to win: Midtjylland

Union’s fighting spirit makes them dangerous, but Midtjylland’s home advantage and solid defensive structure should see them through – though it could be a very close call.

Olympique Lyonnais vs. Besiktas

On 24/10 at 9 pm  

Most likely to win: Lyon

Despite Lyon’s domestic woes, their home form in Europe remains strong. Besiktas may challenge them, but Lyon's offensive talent should tip the scales.

Fenerbahçe vs. Manchester United

On 24/10 at 9 pm  

Most likely to win: Manchester United 
 
Fenerbahçe will give United a real test at home, but Manchester’s quality across the pitch and European experience make them (very) slight favourites.

RSC Anderlecht vs. PFC Ludogorets

On 24/10 at 9 pm  

Most likely to win: Anderlecht

Anderlecht’s home form is solid, and they’ll likely be too strong for Ludogorets, who often struggle on the road.

Athletic Club de Bilbao vs. Slavia Praha

On 24/10 at 9 pm  

Most likely to win: Athletic Club
 
Bilbao’s formidable home record gives them the edge here, and Slavia’s inconsistent away performances don’t inspire confidence.

Conference League – Matchday 2

Vikingur Reykjavik vs. Cercle Brugge

On 24/10 at 4.30 pm

Most likely to win: Cercle Brugge
 
Cercle has the quality and experience to take control of this fixture, even though Vikingur will be tough to break down.

KAA Gent vs. Molde FK

On 24/10 at 6.45 pm

Most likely to win: Gent

Gent’s home dominance and attacking threat should see them outclass Molde in this one.

Panathinaikos vs. Chelsea

On 24/10 at 6.45 pm

Most likely to win: Chelsea
 
Panathinaikos might hold out for a while, but Chelsea’s depth and strength should be too much for them to handle.
