Half of the games are already gone but we still have something to be excited about as the last second leg encounters of the Play Off round are starting tonight. Check out our best picks and the best odds on Champions League Qualification and make your bets at the best online sportsbooks in the EU!
Bet on Rostov v Ajax
The Rostov v Ajax derby sounds like a one-sided encounter between the favourite and the underdogs, where the unknown team has no chance at all. However, that is not the case this time: The Russian side are already in a minor advantage thanks to their away goal as the first leg ended with a 1-1 draw in the Netherlands.
In addition, the home side might even take a mental advantage as well, which is a crucial factor in modern football. Ajax are clear favourites according to all online sportsbooks, yet they failed to win the first game at home and will face an even bigger challenge in Russia. In addition, their goalkeeper, Jasper Cillessen, who is one of the most important players of the team, is on the edge of leaving them for Barcelona.
Will he still be able to concentrate fully on his team’s success? According to all this, it might not be the worst idea to bet on Rostov to qualify for the group stage…To that, you can place your bets at Betfair for example. The ods for Rostov’s qualification are pretty good and worth considering for sure as you can make 2.00 (1/1) times your stake if your bet wins and the Russians qualify.
Salzburg v Dinamo Zagreb betting in the Play-Off
The Salzburg and the Zagreb based teams both failed to secure a victory in the first leg. The situation is rather similar to their fellow Ajax and Rostov mates: they played a 1-1 draw in Croatia and hence Salzburg have a bit of an advantage with their away goal and thanks to the fact that they are about to qualify for the group stage in front of their own support base.

Despite the fact that the Austrian side come to the encounter as clear favourites, the Croatian side will surely not let them claim an easy victory. A lot will depend on the away team’s number 1 striker, Marco Rog, who has already scored 3 goals this season. Should he have a good day tonight, he might as well decide the battle. Bet on Rog scoring the first goal for 14.00 (13/1) at Unibet.
APOEL v FCK, the Danes are in advantage
APOEL Nicosia and FC Köbenhavn both have participated in several group stages of the Champions League in the previous season according to EU betting news. Unfortunately for both of them, one of them will only be able to go for the Europa League this season, which will be an unexpected failure for any of these teams.
The first game was played at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen and the home team played a perfect game: they did manage to keep a clean sheet while scoring one goal, so the 1-0 triumph is clearly on their side. If you agree with norsk tipping betting shops and believe that FCK can qualify without conceding a single goal versus the Cyprian team, bet on them keeping another clean sheet for 2.63 (163/100) at Bet365!
