I'M going for three Champions League ties tonight with five of the sides scoring in the first leg.
Nice were the exception but welcome back Mario Balotelli against Napoli. The French were outclassed in Italy but trailing 2-0 they didn't concede again after being reduced to nine men so have a glimmer of hope.
Rijeka and Maribor have away goals in the bank so 1-0 wins against Olympiakos and Hapoel Beer Sheva respectively will see them through.
Olympiakos are dangerous opponents and while Rijeka have a good home record in Europe I expect them to conceded.
Beer Sheva possess a goal threat on the road and last season scored two at Celtic although they lost 5-2 and 5-4 on aggregate.
1pt Both to Score Treble
- Maribor v Hapoel Beer Sheva
- Nice v Napoli
- Rijeka v Olympiakos
- (24-5, ber365)
I’m following this (9/2 Lad SSBT) Decent price for a good-looking BTTS YES treble, I have to say.
Poor for goals. League Cup chock a block with overs and btts but had I gone for LC it might have been the other way around. Sod’s Law.
