Vangelis Pavlidis to score anytime for Benfica vs Fenerbahce @ 2.20
The second leg between Benfica and Fenerbahce in Lisbon is set up perfectly for the neutral following last week’s 0-0 draw in Istanbul. Jose Mourinho’s side created far more clearcut chances, but could not convert any of them on home soil. That may end up proving very costly, as Benfica are a force to be reckoned with in front of their fans. And star striker Pavlidis loves a goal at the Estadio da Luz, even though he failed to strike in the 3-0 home win over Tondela on the weekend. But we are backing the Greek sensation to return to scoring ways when Fenerbahce come to town. Pavlidis scored 26 goals in the Portuguese league and Champions League combined last season.
Celtic to beat Kairat Almaty @ 1.49
Celtic were disappointing in Glasgow last week, only managing to draw 0-0 and making this second leg far more tension-filled than it needed to be. Furthermore, a long plane journey to Kazakhstan after a weekend match is far from ideal for the players, so this tie is anything but a foregone conclusion. That being said, Brendan Rodgers’ squad boasts far more quality than that of Kairat Almtay (on paper at least), so the Scottish champions still get our nod of approval here, especially after the convincing 3-0 win over Livingston.
Bodo/Glimt to beat Sturm Graz @ 2.56
Bodo/Glimt really are a team to be feared on the European stage these days. The Norwegian side reached the semi-finals of last season’s Europa League, and are now all but certain to qualify for the Champions League after thrashing Sturm Graz 5-0 in the first leg of this tie. It was an awesome attacking display from Bodo/Glimt, one that means they can go to Austria and play with complete freedom, which should make for some great entertainment. And the fact Sturm Graz cannot really afford to sit back in any shape or fashion means Bodo/Glimt could run riot again. But we do not want to take a risk wagering on a heavy victory, instead simply backing the visitors to win – a selection which still has fantastic odds!
Christos Tzolis to score anytime for Club Brugge vs Rangers @ 2.34
Rangers have it all to do in Bruges after a dismal display at Ibrox. Russell Martin’s side lost 3-1 on home soil and now securing a place in the Champions League looks like mission impossible. And what makes it worse is the fact Club Brugge are a fantastic team on Belgian soil, with manager Nicky Hayen able to call on some feared attacking players, namely Greek winger Tzolis. He already has two goals in four Jupiler Pro League matches this term after tallying 16 last season, so stopping him will be high on the agenda for Martin’s defence. And with Rangers in need of early goals, Tzolis can capitalise on the space left in behind to quickly eliminate any hopes of a comeback.
