Europa League, Football and Golf are amongst the highlights for sports betters on Thursday and we take a closer look in our Betting Diary.

Copenhagen will fancy their chances away to Lugano and they are 31/20 for the win and the Malmo v Kiev game is being priced up as a competitive affair with Malmo 39/20 at home and Kiev 15/10 and the draw 43/20.

The 2^nd Test between New Zealand and England gets going in the early hours of Friday morning and New Zealand are 15/10 to win having secured the 1^st Test, while the draw is 28/10 and England 16/10.

This should be another competitive affair and we fancy Kane Williamson to score a 50 in the first innings at odds of 11/10.

HORSE RACING

Local Horse Racing takes place at the Vaal Racetrack an 8 race card starting at 13:05 and ending at 17:15.

There are some big fields and competitive races on the card and while no obvious banker jumps out we think that Green Top will be hard to beat in the 5^th Race and is currently priced at 13/10 for the win. Our roughie for the day comes in the final race where Horse No. 15, Palace Green is priced at 12/1.
