This has seen Oliver Glasner being linked with some high-profile jobs. He is currently the bookmakers&#8217; favourite in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/oliver-glasner-next-manchester-united-manager-betting-odds\/\">next Manchester United manager betting odds<\/a> market amid uncertainty over Ruben Amorim&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n<p>They head into continental play off the back of a 3-3 draw against Bournemouth on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Other standout fixtures at 20:00 include AZ Alkmaar vs Slovan Bratislava, Samsunspor vs Dynamo Kiev, Shamrock Rovers vs Celje and Sigma Olomouc vs Rakow Cz\u0119stochowa.<\/p>\n<p>Read on as we unveil our best bets for Thursday&#8217;s Conference League Matchday 2 schedule.<\/p>\n<h2>Conference League Best Bets for Matchday 2<\/h2>\n<h3>AEK Athens vs Aberdeen Betting Tip (17:45 KO)<\/h3>\n<p>Aberdeen endured a dreadful start to the campaign, going winless in their opening six league matches and failing to qualify for the Europa League, leaving question marks over Thelin&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/next-aberdeen-manager-betting-odds\/\">next Aberdeen manager betting odds<\/a> market suggests John McGlynn is in line to take over.<\/p>\n<p>However, if Thelin is able to secure a result away at AEK Athens off the back of winning two consecutive league matches, his position at Pittodrie would likely be safe for the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for the Dons though, we can&#8217;t envisage such a scenario playing out.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re expecting the hosts, who have lost just twice across 16 competitive matches in 2025-26, to come away with a comfortable victory and are backing them to win both halves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Bet:\u00a0<\/strong>AEK Athens to Win Both Halves @ 7\/4<\/p>\n<h3>Shakhtar Donetsk vs Legia Warsaw Betting Tip (17:45 KO)<\/h3>\n<p>Next up, we&#8217;ve selected Shakhtar Donetsk to be leading at both intervals against Legia Warsaw.<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian giants picked up a strong 3-2 win over Aberdeen on the opening matchday, while Legia suffered a disappointing 1-0 home defeat against Turkish Super Lig side Samsunspor.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Polish Ekstraklasa side suffered a 3-1 defeat by Zaglebie Lubin at the weekend. That result leaves them in a lowly ninth place in the top-flight table, nine points off the top.<\/p>\n<p>Shakhtar have also won all three of their previous head-to-head meetings with Legia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Bet:\u00a0<\/strong>Shakhtar Donetsk Half Time\/Full Time @ 7\/4<\/p>\n<h3>Rapid Vienna vs Fiorentina Betting Tip (17:45 KO)<\/h3>\n<p>In what many consider to be the standout fixture of the round, we&#8217;re backing Fiorentina to beat Rapid Vienna in the Austrian capital, along with over 2.5 goals being scored in the match.<\/p>\n<p>The Serie A side, who have reached the Conference League final on two occasions, kickstarted the league phase with a comfortable 2-0 home win over Sigma Olomouc on Matchday 1.<\/p>\n<p>Rapid, meanwhile, suffered a humiliating 4-1 loss at the hands of Lech Poznan in Poland. They are now without a win in five consecutive competitive matches across all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>This should be a comfortable win for the visitors, with plenty of goals to go along with it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Bet:\u00a0<\/strong>Fiorentina to Win and Over 2.5 Goals @ 11\/5<\/p>\n<h3>Crystal Palace vs AEK Larnaca Betting Tip (20:00 KO)<\/h3>\n<p>Our next pick is for Marc Guehi to register a shot on target for Palace vs AEK Larnaca.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s little to no value in backing the Eagles to win on Thursday, as they are short-priced at around 1\/6, therefore we&#8217;re looking to take advantage of some alternative markets.<\/p>\n<p>Palace, as their short price suggests, are very likely to dominate proceedings at Selhurst Park, which should see them be awarded with plenty of corners throughout the match.<\/p>\n<p>This gives their defensive players a good chance of registering at least one shot on target.<\/p>\n<p>England international Guehi has been one of their more threatening players from set pieces this term, so at a price of 2\/1, we&#8217;re backing him to test the visiting goalkeeper at least once.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Bet:\u00a0<\/strong>Marc Guehi &#8211; Over 0.5 Shots on Target @ 2\/1<\/p>\n<h3>Shamrock Rovers vs Celje Betting Tip (20:00 KO)<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, we&#8217;re backing Celje to overcome League of Ireland leaders Shamrock Rovers.<\/p>\n<p>The Hoops&#8217; league phase campaign got underway with a 4-1 loss away at Sparta Prague earlier this month, and they have since lost two successive matches in the Irish top-flight.<\/p>\n<p>Their most recent outing, on Friday evening, ended in a 1-0 defeat away at St. Patrick&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Celje, meanwhile, are unbeaten domestically this term, sitting 11 points clear at the top of the Slovenian top-flight table after 12 games, and defeated AEK Athens 3-1 on Matchday 1.<\/p>\n<p>Since their third qualifying round defeat to Lugano in August, they are unbeaten in 12 straight matches across all competitions. This run includes 10 wins and two draws.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly the form side, we see strong value in backing the visitors to prevail here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Bet:\u00a0<\/strong>Celje to Win @ 1\/1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matchday 2 of the Conference League league phase gets underway on Thursday, and we&#8217;ve selected our five best bets from the standout fixtures ahead of the action.
