The fourth round of the group stage of the Europa League kicked off tonight (Thursday) with the meeting between the leader of the Premier League and Group A, Arsenal, who are hosting in Norway against Boudoir Guilmet, and Jose Mourinho’s Roma, who came to Seville for an important match against Betis, after the Spaniards beat the Wolves at home. Going forward, Manchester United will want to record a third win in a row in all competitions when they host Omonia Nicosia (10:00 p.m., Sport2) in an attempt to get closer to the next stage. Also Omri Altman and A.A.K. Larnaca, Ludogorets and Danny Gruper are on the menu.
House A
Boudoir Glimt – Arsenal 0:0 (1st half)
The massive 2:3 victory over Liverpool in the first game still resonates with the Gunners’ fans, who want to keep first place in the Europa League as well. For this, they will have to beat the Norwegians, whom they already defeated easily 0:3 in the previous round, trying to register a sixth victory in a row in all formats. Boudoir Glimt, apparently, lost a chance to win the championship in Norway, but in the European framework they are still in a place that guarantees qualification, they will try to fight Mikel Arteta’s apprentices in order to continue to lead PSV on the way to another magical European journey. In Arsenal, Bocayo Saka, Fabio Vieira and Eddie Anketier, who replaced the injured Gabriel Jesus, started the attack.

second house
A.A.K. Larnaca – Fenerbahce (19:45)
The Cypriot champions lost in the previous round 2:0 to a team from Istanbul, when Omri Altman recorded 69 minutes and was replaced. Larnaca managed to bounce back from their weak start to the season in Cyprus, recording two consecutive victories in the domestic framework, and will look to beat the fourth-placed team in Turkey to continue competing for a place in the next stage of the plant.
Dynamo Kyiv – Ran (19:45)
third house
Betis – Roma (19:45, Sport3)
After the big surprise that Manuel Pellegrini’s team registered at the Olimpico last week with a big 1:2 victory over Jose Mourinho’s men, the Wolves will try to recover and return to the second place that leads to the next stage of the Europa League. The Conference League holder will have to manage without Nicolo Zaniolo who received a red card in extra time of the last game between the teams and Paulo Dybala who will be absent for several weeks and may miss the World Cup, while Betis can secure promotion if they beat the team from the Italian capital.
Ludogorets – HJK Helsinki (22:00)
Danny Groffer did not participate in the 1:1 draw against the Finns in the last round, but in the important match against CSKA Sofia as part of the Bulgarian league, he scored the winning goal in the last match. The Israeli defender will hope to start in the Bulgarian champion team in an attempt to beat Helsinki and keep the second place at home third’.
fourth house
Union Berlin – Malmö (22:00)
Union Saint-Gilloise – Braga (19:45)
House of God
Manchester United – Omonia Nicosia (22:00, Sport2)
With quite a few injuries in the form of Anthony Martial, Harry Maguire and Donnie van den Beek, the Red Devils recovered from the 6:3 loss to Manchester City and beat the Cypriots in a difficult round 2:3. One of the stars of the game, Martial, as mentioned, will not be available to Erik ten Haah, but this will be an opportunity for Cristiano Ronaldo to score once more after scoring United’s winning goal in the last league round against Everton. Nicosia, still without a win this season in Europe, will try to maintain the low chance of finishing in third place leading to the Conference League, while the English can get closer to the next stage with a home win.
