These are our top free tips for the upcoming game week. Keep an eye on the odds, which are always subject to change.
Prediction 1: CFR Cluj vs Lazio – Lazio to Win
Lazio’s fans were hoping for a more compelling victory over CFR Cluj on the 16th of February. Yes, a 1-0 home win is always a good tournament result but the class difference between the two teams suggested at least a 2-0 or 3-0 victory for the team from Rome. What’s done is done and now coach Mauricio Sari’s boys will have to travel to Romania as they have unfinished business. They played for 75 minutes with a suspended player in the previous match and CFR Cluj couldn’t exploit that advantage. We doubt that simple home-field support will be decisive for the Romanians.

Prediction 2: FC Basel vs Trabzonspor – Draw
Trabzonspor pipped FC Basel in Istanbul just as we predicted they would. Games in Turkey are always intimidating events and it was no wonder the Swiss team lost but the fans were at least hoping for a solid performance. There was no trace of it at Medical Park Stadyumu as Trabzonspor were by far the better of the two teams with 69% possession, 707 passes, 20 shots at target, and 10 shots on target. FC Basel got off easy as Trabzonspor could’ve scored more. The game in Switzerland isn’t going to be much different and we’re convinced that the Turkish club will get at least a draw.

Prediction 3: Anderlecht vs Ludogorets – Draw or Ludogorets
After a sensational performance in Bulgaria, Ludogorets managed to get the perfect result in a knock-out phase versus a more prolific team – a thrifty 1-0 home win. Sure, perhaps Anderlecht were the better of the two teams but the 11-time Bulgarian champions managed to nullify most of Anderlecht’s top creative players and the forwards couldn’t get their hands on plenty of good goalscoring opportunities. With home-field support behind them, Anderlecht are undoubtedly the bookies’ favorite to win this one but Ludogorets have proved plenty of times that they are capable of surprising their opponents with the most recent almost-victims being the in-form Real Betis who almost got pipped in Spain in the very interesting 3-2 win over Ludogorets.

Europa Conference League: Group Stage
The Conference League performs very much like its sister tournaments the Champions and Europa League with eight groups making up the official opening stage of the tournament. Each group has four teams in all of which play one another twice, home and away, with the top two sides progressing through to the knockout stage where they will be joined by the sides that finished third in their Europa League groups.
These are the groups for the Europa Conference League 2022-2023.

Conference League tips – Outright Predictions
Here is the list of our top favorites to win some groups or to become Conference League 2022-2023 champions. We believe the following teams are the best amongst the best and their chances to advance to the knockout phase or even become Conference League champions this year. Let’s see who some of the favorites are:
Villareal to win the Conference League @ 9/2 (5.50)
Villareal is not only the most prolific team in the Conference League but also the team with the best momentum right now. Villareal is in 5th place in La Liga after the first three games and is one of the teams without a single loss. The team even defeated Atletico Madrid at the beginning of the season. Villareal already has some European tournaments experience – the team almost became Europa League champions a couple of years ago but lost against Manchester United in the final.
West Ham to win the Conference League @ 13/2 (7.50)
Villareal’s biggest rival this season will undoubtedly be West Ham. It’s hard to pick between these two teams as West Ham, despite the poor games at the start of the season, is one of the best teams around undoubtedly. The team finished in 7th place in the English Premier League Last season and was close to beating Manchester United for the 6th place. West Ham had a good run in the Europa League last season when the team was knocked out in the semi-finals against Eintracht Frankfurt. Michail Antonio is probably the best striker in the Conference League this season and we think he is going to have an year to remember!
Fiorentina to win the Conference League @ 9/1 (10.00)
And our third choice is Fiorentina. The Italian giants have been performing well recently in the Serie A as the team was in 10th place with only one loss in the opening four games of the season. Fiorentina couldn’t qualify for the Conference League last year but we think that 2nd time’s the charm and the Italian team will finally show what they are really made of. Last year Fiorentina had some great victories under their belt – 2:0 against Juventus, 2:0 against Roma, 2:3 against Napoli. Fiorentina is a team that performs well against the big teams and this is a big tournament. We anticipate Fiorentina to be West Ham’s and Villareal’s biggest rival for the Conference League 2022-23 trophy.
Group winners
This year we have some very interesting groups in the Conference League. The competition is fierce but we think that the following teams have the best chance to win their groups and advance to the next stage of the fight:
Nice to win Group D @ 33/25 (2.28)
The battle will be between Nice and FC Cologne but we prefer to chose Nice in this fight. The French team is one of the most famous ones in the Conference League this season and for a good reason. The team is three times as expensive as FC Cologne, Nice are runners-up for the French Cup from the 2021-22 and the team was doing good at the beginning of the season in Ligue 1.
West Ham to win Group B @ 51/100 (1.51)
West Ham’s competition in Group B is almost non-existent. The only team that stands even the slightest of chance of defeating West Ham in the Group B battle would probably be Anderlecht. Silkeborg and FCSB just don’t look like real rivals to West Ham. The team from London already had a few good seasons in the European tournaments and will now look to achieve something more.
