Thursday football tips: Leicester host West Brom plus key action from Europe

Leicester's clash with West Brom is the only Premier League action of the evening but the outcome could have huge significance on the race for Champions League places and the battle for survival.

It is also a big night in La Liga with leaders Atletico Madrid tackling relegation-threatened Huesca and title-chasing Barcelona hosting struggling Getafe. The scramble for European places continues in Serie A with Roma facing Atalanta and Napoli taking on Lazio.

Atletico Madrid to beat Huesca

Young Boys to beat FC Zurich

Porto to beat Vitoria Guimaraes

Barcelona-Barcelona double result against Getafe

There could be very little change at the top of La Liga with Atletico Madrid set to see off Huesca and Barcelona looking capable of a comfortable victory over Getafe, who could be trailing before half-time.

Runaway Swiss champions Young Boys can chalk up a 20th league win of the season at mid-table FC Zurich and Porto can keep alive their slim Portuguese title hopes with a home win over Vitoria Guimaraes. The fourfold pays greater than 4-1 with Hills.
