Ostersunds v Hertha Berlin

The Europa League can be something of a punting minefield. We know a lot less about the sides involved than we do in the Champions League, that is certainly true, but the same applies in the trading rooms of the biggest bookmakers, so we still have a chance.

We'll start out Thursday previews in Sweden, where German sides have an excellent record over the years, so the visit of Hertha Berlin to Ostersunds could be a daunting prospect.

The hosts are only 6th in their domestic league, and are only in the competition thanks to an away goals win over AIK Salonika.

Hertha Berlin sit 8th in Bundesliga and qualified for this tournament after finishing 6th domestically last campaign. The big difference in their relative Elo ratings makes Hertha a play in this match.
