European qualifying is in the spotlight on Thursday with a number of play-off ties to be completed in the Europa and Conference Leagues. Crystal Palace continue their first foray into continental competition when they head to Norwegian side Frederikstad in the Conference League, while Aberdeen are in Romania to take on FCSB in the Europa League.Hibernian are the other home-nation side taking part in qualifying this week, and all three matches present us with some excellent betting opportunities on Thursday.BET £10 AND GET £30 IN FREE BETS WITH TALKSPORT BETThursday football tipsBet of the Day – Legia Warsaw to beat Hibernian @ 4/6Polish giants Legia Warsaw were in full control for much of their Conference League play-off first leg with Hibernian last week, with only Josh Mulligan’s 86th-minute goal keeping the Scottish side in with a fighting chance of progressing from this tie. Legia raced into a 2-0 first-half lead at Easter Road and they should be too strong back on home turf in Poland.However, they have yet to keep a clean sheet in five outings so that will offer a glimmer of hope to Hibs, who must at least score to stay in contention. That need for a goal could open up chances for the home side, though, and Legia are unbeaten in six matches at the LKS Stadium, scoring at least twice in three of their last four at home.A lively encounter can be expected but Legia look the best bet to win, which would be more than enough for them to progress to the league phase.Special of the Day – Crystal Palace to beat Frederikstad 1-0 @ 11/2Crystal Palace edged out Frederikstad with a 1-0 win at Selhurst Park last week and the FA Cup holders can continue their maiden European voyage with a repeat scoreline in the return leg in Norway.Palace’s three competitive matches this term have yielded just three goals and another low-scoring encounter looks likely, with the Eagles struggling to create too many opportunities following Eberechi Eze’s move to Arsenal.Fredrikstad have failed to score in three of their last four games and they did not register a shot on target in south London last week.If Palace hit top gear they could win more comfortably, but a safer play looks to be backing another 1-0 success.Longshot of the Day – FCSB & Aberdeen 2-2 correct score @ 13/1Aberdeen and FCSB played out a thrilling 2-2 draw in the first leg of their Europa League play-off at Pittodrie last week and a repeat scoreline shouldn’t be ruled out on Thursday. The Dons have drawn four of their last five outings in European competition and three of those matches have finished 2-2, including their last two away trips in Europe.Romanian raiders FCSB lost 2-0 at the weekend but have scored at least two goals in three of their last four matches, so this could be a lively affair in Bucharest despite the fact the home side have won only two of their last 10 matches in all competitions.Aberdeen dominated proceedings last week, but these ties are never easy and another high-scoring draw could once again be the outcome.BET £10 AND GET £30 IN FREE BETS WITH TALKSPORT BETPremier League OfferFootball is back!New Football Sign Up Offer: Bet £10 get £30 in free bets – CLAIM HERE18+ New customers only.
