For Tuesday night’s European action we’re taking a look at the second legs of the final Champions League qualification matches.
We’ll be digging into the stats and form for Hungarian side Ferencvaros who tackle Swiss outfit Young Boys who they trail 2-3 on aggregate. Meanwhile, Bulagrians Ludogorets are 0-2 down to Rangers’ conquerors Malmo and must go all out against the Swedes to try and get into the Group Stage.
Finally, Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven are 1-2 down to Portuguese outfit Benfica and with both sides in good form we should see plenty of goals. Let’s have a look then at where we’ve found some value in the markets.

20.00: Ferencvaros v Young Boys – Both Teams to Score No Draw
Ferencvaros aren’t exactly in the best of form: over their five most previous games they’ve won two and lost three. They’ve played nine games so far this season, mostly in Europe where they’ve won five of their seven games, losing the other two. Young Boys have also played nine games thus far, winning five, drawing three and losing one. At home, Ferencvaros have played five games this season, winning four and losing one while Young Boys have also played five, winning two, drawing two and losing one.
Both sides are in good goal-scoring form, Ferencvaros have scored 12 over their last five at home while Young Boys have scored nine over their last five on the road. As indicated above these sides don’t draw much and we don’t see this one ending level either. Both Teams to Score, No Draw is the best option here.
20.00: Ludogorets v Malmo – BTTS and Over 2.5 Goals
It’s hard to see Ludogorets overturning the 0-2 deficit here. They’re favourites for the match but we must mention that Malmo have only lost three of their 16 league games so far this season. In European competition Malmo have played seven games already, winning five and drawing two. The home side have also played seven Champions League games but their results haven’t been quite as good. The Bulgarian side have won three, drawn three and lost one.
There’s no denying they’re a decent side on home turf though where they’ve won four and drawn one of their last five, scoring 14 and conceding three. Malmo are dogged on the road too, winning three of their last five, drawing the other two, scoring 11 and conceding just three. The home side have to go for it here, they’ve no choice but Malmo are more than good enough to get at least one. BTTS and Overs has some decent odds here for two high-scoring teams.
20.00: PSV v Benfica – BTTS and Over 2.5 Goals
This will be PSV’s sixth Champions League game of their campaign. So far, they’ve won four and lost one, Benfica have played three, winning all of them. Of their eight games so far this season in total, PSV have won seven and lost one while Benfica have played six games in total, winning all of them.
There should be plenty of goalmouth action here, PSV have scored 22 goals over their eight games so far with Benfica scoring 12 over their six matches. With the aggregate scoreline of 1-2 and both teams in great goal-scoring form, goals are where we’re looking here. BTTS and Overs is our value pick here.
Tuesday’s treble:
20.00: Ferencvaros v Young Boys – Both Teams to Score No Draw
20.00: Ludogorets v Malmo – BTTS and Over 2.5 Goals
20.00: PSV v Benfica – BTTS and Over 2.5 Goals
