Europa League football and WGC golf are amongst Thursdays betting highlights and we take a closer look in our daily diary.

Looking at selected fixtures and Manchester United are away to Club Brugge in one of the early kick offs. United who are coming off a morale boosting away win at Chelsea in the EPL can be backed at 29/20 with the draw 22/10 and the home team are on offer at 39/20. We have a feeling United will push hard for an away goal and that chances could open up at both ends bring the 1/1 over 2.5 goals into play.

Our pick from the 22h00 kick offs is Olympiacos at home to Arsenal. The Gunners looked really impressive in hammering Newcastle 4-0 at home in the league on the weekend and they will not have things all their own way against the hosts who are undefeated in all competitions since going down to Tottenham in late November. Olympiacos are 37/20 with the draw 12/5 and Arsenal are marginal favourites at 14/10. We once again fancy over 2.5 goals here at 8/10 as Olympiacos home games have been free scoring affairs of late.

GOLF
Majors aside WGC events are as good as things get in the golfing world and this week we are in Mexico where Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson are disputing favouritism at 6/1 and 17/2 respectively. Both Rory and Dustin have excellent course form but we like a lurker in Tyrrell Hatton who has a top 3, a top 10 and a top 20 in the last 3 years and whose price of 90/1 appeals as some great value despite him returning from a lengthy layoff.

HORSE RACING
Local horse racing takes place at the Vaal Racetrack, an 8 race card getting underway at 13h05 with the 8th race scheduled for 17h15.
It certainly looks a tricky card with the shortest price favourite Imperial Ruby in the 2nd race currently priced at 17/10.
There is no obvious Pick 6 banker but we do like the chances of horse no 3 Circle Of Latitude in the 7th race at a current price of 11/2.
