My early kick-off BTTS pick is Spartak Moscow v Thun.
Spartak wound up 3-2 winners at the first legbut I am confident this will not be the end of the aims. Last year in the Europa League, Spartak conceded eight goals in their home games (and also scored eight) against Villarreal, Rangers and Rapid Wien.
After such a crazy first leg, then a borefest does seem improbable –especially with Thun needing to score at least twice–and judging by Spartak’s recent house struggles in Europe, it seems a good prospect.
13 of Thun’s 18 home games in Switzerland last year saw both teams score, so this is a pick I like.
Later on, I’ve Braga v Brondby also viewing both teams score.
Following their first-leg finished 4-2 in Braga’s favour, then it’s another fixture which is filled with BTTS promise.
Brondby have played Europa League qualifiers this season–from FC Inter, Lechia Gdansk and the aforementioned Braga–and only one of those matches have noticed a side maintain a clean sheet.
The first leg against Braga revealed either side are extremely much attack-minded.
Like above, Brondby have to score, which should result in an open match.
My final selection is Rangers v Midtjylland.
Steven Gerrard’s men registered a breaking 4-2 away win in the legbut it is always secure to back BTTS when these two are concerned.
16 goals have been scored at either end during Rangers’ last few matches, and it is typically foolish to presume they will continue to keep a clean sheet.
As for Midtjylland, they’ve kept just one clean sheet in their last 16 Europa League matches, together with 11 of their last 13 viewing both teams rating.
