Kisvarda FC VS Molde Preview
Thursday, August 11th, 20:00 (UK)
Molde ran away with this fixture in the first leg. The 3-0 win at home put the Norwegian club in a comfortable position going into the second leg. A goal in the first half, and then two goals within two minutes in the 80th and 82nd minutes sealed the win for Molde.
Kisvarda have a good scoring record at home and they will rely on this to fight back in the second leg. The Hungarian club have scored in the last ten competitive matches played on their turf, so we expect the goals to rain in this one.
Kisvarda vs Molde Best Bet
Kisvarda have a good record of producing high-scoring matches, with six of their last eight matches ending with over 2.5 goals. Molde are also on a good streak, recording over 2.5 goals in their last 5 matches.
We expect Kisvarda to come out guns blazing in the second leg, in a bid to salvage the tie. However, we think Molde have shown their superiority and will get some goals as well.
- Selection: Over 2.5 Goals
- Best Odds: 2.00 (bet365)
- Stakes: 10/10
AZ Alkmaar vs Dundee United Preview
Thursday, August 11th, 20:00 (UK)
AZ Alkmaar might have dominated possession and had more attempts on goal in the first leg, but Dundee United got the lone goal to secure the win.
The Pascal Jansen-led side would rue their missed chances, as their Scottish counterparts made them pay with a 61st-minute goal scored by Glenn Middleton.
AZ Alkmaar will be playing at the AFAS Stadion, and they have quite a decent record at home. However, the most significant factor that affected our choice of bet is that they have kept clean sheets in back-to-back home games.
AZ Alkmaar vs Dundee United Best Bet
Taking everything into account, I’m predicting a rather low-scoring affair once again. AZ Alkmaar have recorded under 2.5 goals in five out of their last six games.
Dundee United are also expected to sit back and defend their lead away from home. They have also recorded under 2.5 goals in 6 of their last seven games.
- Selection: Under 2.5 goals
- Best Odds: 2.25 (bet365)
- Stakes: 6/10

Basel vs Brondby Preview
Thursday, August 11th, 18:00 (UK)
Brondby were the better side in the first leg of this fixture but their failure to take their chances meant they only won by a lone goal in the Brondby Stadium, Denmark. A 74th-minute goal by Marko Divkovic was enough to give them an advantage in this tie.
With Basel back at home, Alexander Frei and his boys will give their all in the tie against the boys from Denmark. However, this might be a tough task, given their recent poor form, failing to win in their last four games and conceding in three of those games.
Basel vs Brondby Best Bet
In the end, I expect another tough game between both sides with few goals. Considering how both sides have been prudent at the back in recent times, it’s safe to go with less than three goals from the game.
- Selection: Under 2.5 goals
- Best Odds: 1.80 (bet365)
- Stakes: 6/10
Antwerp vs Lillestrom Preview
Thursday, August 11th, 18:30 (UK)
Antwerp are probably home and dry in this fixture after having won the first leg 3-1 away from home at the Arasen in Norway. Two goals from veteran Belgian midfielder Radja Nainggolan and defender Dinis Almeida did the job despite Knusden getting an equalizer earlier in the game.
Antwerp go into the second leg full of confidence as they have a healthy lead. The Belgian club are also in top form with back-to-back wins and no losses in eight matches. Lillestrom are having a good domestic campaign but have struggled in their last two games and Antwerp appear to be way above in quality.
Antwerp vs Lillestrom Best Bet
Antwerp will be comfortable in the second leg and should take Lillestrom apart when they get the chance. Although I expect Lillestrom to fight back and stay competitive, this might be a fight too much for them at this time.
- Selection: Antwerp to Win
- Best Odds: 1.66 (bet365)
- Stakes: 10/10

CS Petrocub vs MOL Fehervar Preview
Thursday, August 11th, 18:00 (UK)
This tie is very much over after the first leg drubbing from Fehevar. The Hungarian club made their home advantage count with a dominant 5-0 victory.
Fehervar showed in the first leg that they are not shy in front of goal. Micheal Boris and his boys have recorded over 2.5 goals in seven out of their last nine matches at the time of writing. It’s never short of entertaining whenever they are involved.
CS Petrocub vs MOL Fehervar Best Bet
Going by what they did in the first leg, one can’t look past the possibility of the Irish side knocking the Scottish side out. Coupled with the slight advantage, I think they would be able to nick a draw at the Showgrounds to complete the win.
Meanwhile, Petrocub are not going to go down without a fight. Seeing that they have a herculean task in front of them, they are expected to come out firing on all cylinders.
- Selection: Over 2.5 Goals
- Best Odds: 1.95 (bet365)
- Stakes: 8/10
