Expert Analysis

A good deal of research goes into our football picks. We start by studying the latest form and getting a handle on injuries. The key stats can then be used as the missing piece of the jigsaw.

Key Benfica vs Red Bull Salzburg stats:

  • Benfica have scored 2 or more goals in 5 of their past 5 matches this season
  • Red Bull Salzburg have scored 2 or more goals in 7 of their past 7 matches this season

This Champions League game could see the hosts find the net. We’re also expecting their opponents to score and that means our tip is BTTS Yes at 1.75 on the Both Teams to Score market.

If you want to take a slightly different betting approach, why not consider the Over 2.5 Goals option where you need three or more to be scored.
