Yellow Submarine to maintain fast start
European qualifying wraps up on Thursday with ten second-leg clashes coming from the Europa League, as well as 21 matches taking place in the Europa Conference League.

Northern Irish champions Linfield host Latvian side RFS with the scores locked level at 2-2, although Ireland's Shamrock Rovers look up against it after losing 4-0 to Ferencvaros in Hungary last week.

Racing Post Sport's Aaron Ashley has picked:
Nice to beat Maccabi Tel Aviv

Nice v Maccabi Tel Aviv
Nice were beaten 1-0 in the opening leg of their Europa Conference League qualifier with Maccabi Tel Aviv, but the Ligue 1 outfit should come roaring back at home. Nice tend to go well at the Allianz Riviera, having beaten PSG and Lyon there last season, and they also won the shot count 15-9 in Israel.
Rapid Vienna v Vaduz
Rapid Vienna and Vaduz drew 1-1 in last week's opening leg but the Austrian side should take all the beating now in front of their own fans. The visitors are finding things tough in the Swiss Challenge League, having taken only two points from five games and conceded 13 goals, and Rapid are European regulars.
Antwerp v Istanbul Basaksehir
Antwerp will back themselves to progress in this Europa Conference League qualifier at the expense of Basaksehir after a 1-1 draw in Istanbul, and punters should trust them to do so. The Belgian side made the Europa League group stages last term, are a perfect four from four domestically and are a real force when armed with home advantage.
Hajduk Split v Villarreal
Villarreal are in a commanding position in this Europa Conference League qualifier after their 4-2 win over Hajduk Split in Spain and they can complete the job in style. The Yellow Submarine have also won their opening two games in La Liga, with Sunday's 2-0 victory away at Atletico Madrid highlighting their quality.
