Thursday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me focus on the European playoff ties, and I’ve highlighted a goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.
⚽️ Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Lugano (1-2 Aggregate)
🇪🇺 Conference League
⏰ Thursday 27 August, 17:00
Goals look on the cards in neutral Georgia on Thursday night as Maccabi Tel Aviv take on Lugano in the second leg of their Conference League playoff tie.
Ex-Rangers forward Kenny Miller has seen his side score 19 goals across their opening eight matches in all competitions this season, with 10 (53%) of them coming across their five European contests.
The Yellows have blanked in just one of those eight fixtures – scoring on multiple occasions in four (44%) of them – and will look to breach a Lugano backline that has kept just two clean sheets across their last eight matches in all competitions.
Mattia Croci-Torti’s visitors have scored an impressive 33 goals across their nine contests in all competitions this campaign, with 12 (36%) of them coming across their five Conference League qualifiers.
The Bianconeri have found the back of the net in all nine (100%) of their encounters this campaign – scoring 2+ goals in each of their previous eight – and will be confident of adding to their goal tally against a Maccabi Tel Aviv defence that has kept just one clean sheet across their last five outings, shipping eight goals.
