Europa League Round of 16 Odds

*Odds taken August 2

Pick 1: Inter Milan vs Getafe

Inter Milan will meet Getafe of Spain with the Italian giants fresh from claiming runners-up spot in Serie A.

Coach Antonio Conte led the club to their best domestic finish since 2011 and they are in far better form than the Spaniards.

The game will take place at 3pm ET on Wednesday at the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen.

At DraftKings, Inter are favorites for a “home” win at -143 with Getafe at +385. The draw is  +285.

Conte’s men  finished just one point behind Italian champions Juventus.

They won their final three games – including an impressive 2-0 defeat of Atalanta last Sunday – and were unbeaten in eight fixtures through the run-in.

That last day win ended Atalanta’s 22-match unbeaten run.

By contrast, Madrid-based Getafe lost four and drew two of their last six matches in Spain’s La Liga as they finished eighth. They scored just once in those six fixtures.

Inter entered the Europa League after finishing third in the tough Champions League Group B behind Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund.

However, Getafe conceded only 37 goals in La Liga, which is a better record than four of the teams above them.

Against that, Inter have the Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku who was the third leading scorer in Serie A with 23 goals and the Argentine forward Lauturo Martinez, who hit the net 14 times.

Pick: Inter Milan -1.75 (+295)

Pick 2: FC Copenhagen v Istanbul Besaksehir

Istanbul Besaksehir head for a second leg tie at FC Copenhagen after becoming Turkish champions for the first time.

They lead 1-0 from the first leg in Turkey thanks to an 88th minute penalty winner from Bosnian winger Edin Visca.

FC Copenhagen were runners-up in the Danish championship.

They are narrow favorites for a home win when this kicks off at 12:55pm ET on Wednesday at +155, with Istanbul at +180. The draw over 90 minutes looks attractive at +235.

Baseksehir are a relatively new force in Turkish football and have four former English Premier League stars in Gaël Clichy, Robinho, Martin Skrtel and Demba Ba.
