"Metalist have won all four of their home games in this seasonas Europa League, while Newcastle have not won any of their four away matches." Right back Metalist to get at 1.9110/11 Our Europa League guy Kevin Hatchard predicts mixed fortunes for the Premier League teams involved with Thursday's early Europa League kick-offs. Metalist Kharkiv vs Newcastle United, Thu 18:00 BST, Live on ESPN Fit Odds: Metalist 1.9110/11, Newcastle 4.57/2, the bring 3.613/5 It's difficult to flee the idea that Newcastle could have already missed their possiblity to get this link. Last week's goalless bring at St. John' Park was difficult on the Magpies - they had two perfectly good Papiss Cisse targets disallowed for offside - but a full-strength staff also squandered several excellent opportunities to grab a first-leg advantage. With an important Premier League conflict with Southampton coming on Sunday, Newcastle employer Alan Pardew has mentioned he will perhaps not be able to field this kind of powerful line-up in the 2nd leg. Striker Shola Ameobi and winger Sylvain Marveaux are likely to play after impressing as alternatives last Thursday, but it remains to be viewed whether top stars like Yohan Cabaye, Moussa Sissoko and Fabricio Coloccini is going to be risked from the start of the match. Metalist showed number signs of rustiness last week, despite coming back from a long winter break. The smooth passing and brilliant action which have become Metalist emblems were in evidence on Tyneside, and despite the loss in star striker Taison to Shakhtar Donetsk, the Ukrainians still carried an objective risk. Midfielders Jose Sosa and Marlos are dangerous moving forward, and Brazilian schemer Cleiton Xavier is a danger from both open play and set-pieces. Metalist have won all of the home games in this season's Europa League (including a 2-0 conquer Bayer Leverkusen), and I believe they will have a lot of quality for a vulnerable Newcastle part. Goal was conceded just one by the Ukrainians at home in the group stage, and I do believe the buying price of 1.9110/11 for the home win is fairly generous. It is worth taking into consideration that Newcastle have not won any of their four European away games this term, and in the Premier League they've won on just one of their 13 road trips. Advised Bet: Right back Metalist to gain at 1.9110/11 Lyon vs Tottenham Hotspur, 18:00 BST, Go on ITV4 Match Odds: Lyon 2.3411/8, Spurs 3.412/5, the draw 3.55/2 Gareth Bale's heroics (two tempting free-kicks, one at the end of every half) have given Spurs a slim 2-1 edge going into this second leg in France, and I think which is enough of a platform to get the North Londoners into the last 16. Lyon recovered well from that first-leg defeat at the week-end as they won 4-0 at Bordeaux, but they must now do what number other team has managed in this season's Europa League - they must defeat Spurs. Tottenham won two and received four of their team games, and the only fit that offered a serious threat was a draw at Lazio when the Italians squandered a number of possibilities. Spurs have a fantastic absent report in the Premier League, winning seven of their 13 games, and I think their rate on the break could possibly be critical in this encounter. At some level Lyon will have to start looking for the goal they need to win the link, and I believe the pace of people like Bale and Aaron Lennon can catch Les Gones from the table. Strength will be drawn by lyon from their exceptional house report in Ligue 1 (8W, second, 2L) and the very fact they won all three of their Europa League team games at Stade Gerland. On another hand, Remi Garde's men have didn't win their last two home games, pulling 0-0 with Evian Thonon and losing 3-1 to Lille. Spurs have had a week's rest because the first leg, and their next Premier League game is not until Monday night. On that basis I would assume Europa League devotee Andre Villas Boas to field a solid line-up, and they require if he does I think their power and speed will undoubtedly be enough to secure the effect. Layers must look into opposing Lyon at 2.3411/8, but instead you may back Spurs +0 & +0.5 on the Asian Handicap at 1.9310/11. Suggested Bet Right back Spurs +0 & +0.5 on the Asian Handicap at 1.9310/11 There are number comments with this report.
