Thursday's Europa Conference League predictions

Hibs made heavy weather of winning in Andorra on their last visit and are no sort of bet at a skinny price to dot up again in their Conference League opener.

Lee Johnson's men are at Inter Club d'Escaldes, who beat Faroese outfit Vikingur 3-2 on aggregate to set up their showdown with the Edinburgh side.

In last year's Conference League they drew at home to Cluj and, 3,500 feet up in the Pyrenees, on a tight pitch against a side who will be wasting time from the off, this threatens to be a tricky test for Hibs, two years after labouring to a 2-1 success at Santa Colomo.

Shamrock Rovers are a massive price at Ferencvaros, even bigger when you consider the Hungarian powers are in this competition because they were humiliated by Faroese minnows KI in their Champions League qualifier.

For a bet, chuck a dart at Bosnians Zeljeznicar, improved beyond belief under young coach Nermin Basic, who can ruin ex-Chelsea forward Adrian Mutu's first night in charge of Neftchi Baku.
