The Europa League play-off round concludes on Thursday, with eight ties set to be resolved.

Our tipster Adam Drury picks out a 16/1 acca from across the action, including two picks from the 5:45pm kick-offs and two picks from 8pm slate.

Selection #1 - Victor Osimhen (Galatasaray) to score v AZ Alkmaar (17:45) – 1/1

Put simply, Osimhen scores in most Galatasaray matches, so odds that reflect a one-in-two chance are worth backing.

The striker has netted in 14 of his last 21 outings, a run that also includes five braces, and the Nigerian has notched in his last four in this competition.

He has taken at least seven shots in five of his six European appearances this term and a clash where his side need to be on the front foot from the off should suit him.

Galatasaray trail this tie 4-1 after an open first leg and will believe there is still a chance of reversing things with their talisman upfront.

Selection #2 - Under 2.5 goals in Roma vs Porto (17:45) – 8/11

After a 1-1 draw in the first leg, this looks set to be a low-risk affair in the Italian capital.

Under 2.5 goals has landed in five of Roma's last six matches in all competitions, as well as in seven of their nine in this competition this season.

Similarly, eight of Porto's last 10 games have gone under this mark, as well as their last four in Europe.

Nothing about these teams or the state of this tie suggests this is going to be a high-scoring affair.

Selection #3 - Ajax to beat Union St Gilloise (20:00) – 21/20

Ajax lead this tie 2-0 after last week's first-leg victory, which probably explains why we're getting such a generous price on a home win this Thursday.

Considering the Dutch giants have won 16 of their 19 home matches in all competitions this season however, we can overlook the fact they don't have to win and trust that they probably will.

Francesco Farioli's side won three of their four home games at the league stage, including a 4-0 and 5-0.

Union St Gilloise lost three of their four away matches – and, of course, were beaten 2-0 in the first leg at home last week.

Selection #4 - Real Sociedad (-1) vs Midtjylland (20:00) – 6/4

Real Sociedad have won nine of their last 11 home matches in all competitions, six of which have beaten this handicap line.

They also won three of their four home matches at the league stage, all of which came by more than one goal.

Having beaten Midtjylland 2-1 in last week's first leg, there is little room for taking their foot off the pedal for the second meeting.

The Danish visitors were beaten 2-0 at Porto and FCSB in the league stage and something similar could be in the offing on Thursday night.
