Best Three-Fold pick for Thursday
We’ve come up with our best three fold picks for the day which can be banked on by punters. Check them out below!
BAYERN MUNICH vs SEVILLA
These two teams participate in European competitions all the time, however,there have been only two previous head to head meetings.
Those matches were in 2018 in the UEFA Champions League, Sevilla lost the home leg 1-2 after normal regulation time, while the return duel at the Allianz Arena ended without a winner and without goals.
The Bundesliga started last weekend and Bayern Munich used the first round to once again demonstrate how strong they are. They completely destroyed Schalke 04 at home. The final result was an emphatic 8-0 win. The most recent acquisition from Manchester City, Leroy Sane had his debut and scored a goal in 70th minute.
The man of the match was Serge Gnabry with a hat-trick. Coach Hans Dieter Flick decided to rest Alphonso Davies for this upcoming duel against Sevilla, as the Canadian defender had suffered a knock on a training session last Wednesday.
La Liga allowed Sevilla to skip the first round match and focus on claiming this trophy on offer. After winning the Europa League final in a sensational 5-goals thriller against Inter Milan, Sevilla have played only one pre-season match against Levante, winning it 3-2.
We are predicting another dominant performance from Bayern Munich. Their defenders demonstrated excellent form and chemistry in the match against Schalke too. Our main tip for this match is Bayern to win and for both sides to breach each other as Sevilla are very good going forward. The BTTS is priced at 1.58 odds on Betwinner.
MANCHESTER CITY vs BOURNEMOUTH
One of the most interesting clashes this mid-week in English Carabao Cup is taking place at Etihad on Thursday.
Manchester City welcome AFC Bournemouth who recently got relegated to the Championship, but opened the new campaign in more than promising fashion.
Just three days after this match, Manchester City will face Leicester City in the Premier League.
Considering there was Monday night action against Wolverhampton Wanderers, there is no doubt Pep Guardiola is going to shuffle his starting XI a bit here.
Bournemouth had a solid start in the Championship, having won four points and scored nine goals in the last five matches across competitions. Even though we think the Cherries will lose to the Citizens, backing a Home win and both teams to score feels like value.
Having it in mind that Bournemouth are also on a good form of their own, coupled with some heavy rotation expected from Pep, we predict a flurry of goals in this match.
The Over 3.5 goal odds is priced for 2.10odds by 1xbet Africa.
SPORTING LIBSON vs ABERDEEN
Aberdeen’s wonderful run of six consecutive victories across competitions got ruined last weekend with an unexpected home loss to Motherwell.
The Dons are arguably playing the most important game of 2020 this Thursday in Portugal.
Their Europa League opponents are Sporting Lisbon, and getting through the next round would be a huge success for the Scottish side.
The odds are not going in their favour to qualify, however.
What could be their advantage is that Portuguese Primeira Liga started last weekend with their opponents skipping the first-round match.
Sporting might be out of competitive shape, so it will be interesting to see their premiere performance this season.
The last competitive match Sporting Lisbon had taken in was in late July against Benfica.
Since then, The Golden Lions played three friendly matches and maintained a 100% win rate. They were victorious in all friendly games, while also being breached in all their friendly matches.
As for their opponents, Aberdeen was doing good in the Premiership before the above-mentioned loss to Motherwell.
Judging by those pre-season games, Sporting’s defence seem vulnerable. Backing both teams to score in Lisbon is going to be the best bet.
The BTTS is priced at 1.83 odds by 22bet Africa.
