There's UEFA Europa League action all across the continent on Thursday, including in the Netherlands, where Nijmegen and Levski will do business at Goffertstadion. Playing in front of a home crowd hasn't exactly suited the hosts in recent weeks, with them winning none of their last four home games, while they were battered during the first round of UEL games. Time to improve indeed. The visitors did improve at the weekend, securing a first win in four, but they'll likely need to pull out a little more to make it two wins on the spin.
Based on early odds of -137, available at Fanatics at the time of writing, 'Both Teams to Score' stands out as a viable option. Both teams struggled defensively during the first round of UEL games, so this fixture goes down as a decent opportunity for both teams to find the back of the net. It's also worth mentioning that the hosts have a habit of both scoring and conceding in games. Will that habit return here?

Our NEC Nijmegen vs Levski Sofia Prediction
The visitors lost on home soil during the first round of games, and they failed to find the net, but they did create some promising moments on the break, so much so that they can be fancied to score against defensively inept hosts. At the back, though, they did nothing to suggest that they'll be keeping a clean sheet here.
Both teams looked poor defensively when it was last time to play in the Europa League, while the hosts have a recent record of both scoring and conceding, so much so that odds of -137 are worth taking.
Our Nijmegen vs Levski Pick: Both Teams to Score.
