Across both the Europa League and the Champions League, there were only two matches featuring a clean sheet in the quarter final first legs and with plenty of goals being scored in the second legs of ties then betting on both teams to score might be the way to go this week.
There are some cracking matches as well with Atletico and Real locking horns once again, Porto looking to hold on to a 3-1 lead in Germany and Sergei Rebrov attempting to guide his Dynamo Kiev side to their first European semi-final since 1999.
Tuesday 21st April 2015
- Bayern Munich v FC Porto (10/11 with Betfred) – These two are amongst the highest scorers in the competition and we’d definitely back BTTS in this game. Bayern are going to have to go at the Portuguese side and you can expect Porto to take advantage of this with their array of quick players.
- Paris Saint-Germain v Barcelona (4/5 with Bet365) – This fixture always produces goals and with the wealth of attacking talent on show and the relative weakness of both defences we’d definitely back both teams to score. Zlatan Ibrahimovic in particular will be looking to put in a good performance against his former side.
Wednesday 22nd April 2015
- Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid (10/11 with Betfred) – Atletico have had the measure of Real, who are the second highest scorers in the Champions League this season, and they’ll be fairly confident going into the game on Wednesday. Diego Simeone’s side have plenty of power and pace in the side and with the game finely balanced it should be a fine game in which BTTS looks a good value bet.
- Monaco v Juventus (11/10 with Sky Bet) – Monaco have 90 minutes to keep their Champions League dream alive and with the likes of Dimitar Berbatov and Yannick Ferreira Carrasco in the side they have every chance of doing just that. However, they aren’t the sharpest at the back and we’d expect Juve to help themselves to a few goals in a match that should produce at least one goal for each side.
Thursday 23rd April 2015
- Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk v Club Brugge (Evens with Betfred) – Brugge have had an excellent season and are yet to taste defeat in Europe, however, it will be a tough game against a side who are impressive in front of their own fans and score plenty at home. On Balance evens looks a very nice price for both teams to score.
- Zenit St. Petersburg v Sevilla (3/4 with BetVictor) – Both sides have been in excellent goalscoring form of late and we’d back BTTS in this tie without hesitation. Zenit are welcoming a lot of players back after suspension and with Sevilla’s forward line on fire at the moment it should be a real spectacle.
- Fiorentina v Dynamo Kiev (20/23 with BetVictor) – Dynamo put five past Everton in the last round and the Ukrainian side like to play on the front foot. However, La Viola have also been in good form in front of goal and we’d tip BTTS here at a very fair price.
