UEFA lists nine Europa League matches for Thursday 17 September. OFI Crete–Hoffenheim and Levski Sofia–Salzburg begin at 5:45pm WAT.
The 8:00pm WAT wave is Beşiktaş–Marseille, Celtic–Ferencváros, Crystal Palace–Lech Poznań, Viktoria Plzeň–Union SG, Juventus–N.E.C., Lillestrøm–Torreense and Real Sociedad–Bournemouth.
For consequence, Bournemouth’s European debut in Spain is a strong choice. For atmosphere, Celtic at home stands out. For expectation pressure, Juventus hosting N.E.C. offers the clearest test.
Choose one main screen and one backup rather than chasing every match. Kickoff conversions are in West Africa Time and should be rechecked in UEFA’s match centre before kickoff.
