Europa League Final betting – Atletico Madrid vs Fulham
Roy Hodgson was voted manager of the year on Monday evening for his incredible achievement in bringing Fulham to the brink of European glory. Tonight he will look to put the gloss on a season that has seen his side eliminate Wolfsburg, Juventus and Hamburg en route to the Europa League final by beating La Liga side Atletico Madrid in Hamburg. Their opponents are more used to European competition, regularly qualifying for the Champions League and Europa League, but the fact that this is only Fulham's second ever appearance in a UEFA competition has not held them back against other clubs with big reputations this year.
Europa League betting – Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid

UEFA Champions League football betting – Inter vs CSKA Moscow
Inter welcome CSKA Moscow to the San Siro tonight as they look to put their run of disappointment in the Champions League behind them. The Serie A title holders have not gone past this stage of the competition since 2003, despite their domestic dominance, but have their best chance in a long while of winning it for the third time. Manager Jose Mourinho is also under pressure to deliver and many believe he will struggle to hold on to his job if his side are not crowned Champions of Europe at the end of the season.
UEFA Champions League football betting – Lyon vs Bordeaux
Lyon host Bordeaux tonight in the Champions League as the two remaining French teams in the competition look to advance to the semi-finals stage. Lyon eliminated heavily-fancied Real Madrid in the last round after securing a 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu and will not be afraid of anyone. However, Bordeaux are currently top of the super-competitive French League, four places above Lyon despite being separated by only two points from their rivals.
UEFA Champions League football betting – Bordeaux vs Olympiakos
Bordeaux host Olympiakos tonight in the second leg of their last-sixteen tie of the Champions League. The French side are in an excellent position to go through to the next round after winning the first leg 1-0 in Greece and it will take a big upset to keep Olympiakos in the competition.
UEFA Europa League betting odds – Benfica vs Marseille
Benfica take on Marseille tonight as they look to continue their excellent season so far. They are currently on course to win their first Portuguese title since 2005.

Marseille are fourth in the tightly poised Ligue 1, but are only three points away from leaders Bordeaux.
UEFA Europa League betting – Juventus vs Fulham
Fulham have been great in Europe so far this season, but will face their toughest challenge yet when they are hosted by Juventus. Roy Hodgson's side completed a 3-2 aggregate win over Shaktar in the last round, and if there was ever a good time to play the Bianconeri, this is it.
UEFA Champions League football – Manchester United vs A.C. Milan
A.C Milan travel to Old Trafford tonight in the knock-out stages of the Champions League hoping to overcome their 3-2 defeat at the San Siro in the first leg of the tie. No team can claim to have a particularly strong record at the 'Theatre of Dreams', but many of Milan's players were in the side that won 1-0 there in 2005. Their most recent meeting in Manchester, in 2007, finished 3-2 to the hosts.
