The teams faced each other three times last season and managed to go over the total in two matches. Considering the current form of both sides and their unstable defensive play, I think the teams will also play over in this match.
In the Veikkausliiga, HJK and VPS have scored at least 3 goals between them in Helsinki in 5 consecutive matches. HJK themselves have not failed to score against VPS there in 17 matches in a row. This is a familiar scenario for the hosts: there have been 3 or more goals in 6 of HJK’s last 7 home lea... Show more
A heated game with an exchange of goals could well take place in this clash after the break for the national team matches. Both Gnistan and Inter Turku are fighting for highly important positions, and the teams are not prepared to sit back in defense.

Despite all of Croatia's problems, it is still too early to write off their attack completely. In the last 10 matches, the national team failed to score only once before the meeting with England and scored 18 goals in total. In Seville, they also found their moment against Spain, although they spent... Show more
The Slovaks will storm the top. The Moldovans will try to survive. No active play from the visitors should be expected. All the positive aspects — goals, beautiful moments, and combination play in attack — will come from Slovakia. Moldova should only be expected to defend, which will not help them w... Show more
The teams played in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Qatar last time as well, and then Austria won 4-2 in Vienna, while away they suffered a 2-5 defeat, when Israel had not yet received a ban on playing at home. However, the blue-and-whites always conceded their 2 goals from the Austrians. They will... Show more
Of course, the first European competition match in a long time, and on home soil too, will give Sunderland extra motivation here. But at the same time, the hosts will be under additional pressure, which could significantly affect their performance in a negative way. I would also note the absences fr... Show more
Bayer Leverkusen under Martinez actively and eagerly attacks, although this is not always backed up by reliable defensive play. In 4 official matches this season, the “Aspirins” have scored at least 2 goals per game; their attack is highly mobile. Compared with Celje, they look like a stronger and m... Show more
I think we will see 3 goals from Madrid’s attack in this game. Elche have already conceded 3 against Real Sociedad at home, 5 against Barcelona, and also against Racing in Santander. The home side’s defense looks like one of the weakest in the league, and the team cannot cope with the intensity leve... Show more
The Catalans have been crushing everyone in the new season and winning by at least a 3-goal margin, and last week was no exception. Levante have declined in attack; the team changed without Espi, who left for Madrid, and with Eyonga injured, Levante’s attack has weakened.

Now is the perfect time for the visitors to end their 5-match losing streak in London against Tottenham. The "Toffees" look more balanced, organized, and cohesive than the revamped "Spurs," who are currently dealing with squad issues, an atmosphere problem at the club, and injuries.

Both teams prefer to play attacking football and rarely build a layered defensive line. Both sides like to play end-to-end football and regularly go over the total in head-to-head matches, so I think the teams will play over in this match.
PSV are currently playing in a way that makes it hard to expect a cautious match from them in the Champions League. Over five rounds, the team has scored 18 goals, and at home they have already handed their opponents some heavy defeats. Shakhtar Donetsk will have to keep up this pace from the very f... Show more
In my opinion, one of the most high-scoring pairings of the first morning of the Champions League. This is all due to the teams’ desire to play high and aggressively, their less-than-reliable defenses, and the fact that the favorite has not scored fewer than 5 goals in the Bundesliga in the 2 rounds...

The difference in the teams’ current form is too noticeable to ignore. Barcelona are unbeaten and score a lot. Valencia are still looking for their game and regularly make mistakes in front of their own goal.
At the same time, the hosts are capable of helping make the match high-scoring. At Mestalla... Show more
The teams approach their head-to-head meeting with similar problems: both started the season inconsistently, but Real Sociedad have three points in the bag, while Celta Vigo remain without a win. In addition, the hosts have home-field advantage, while the visitors are struggling with scoring. Consid... Show more
“Hajduk Split” is clearly superior to their opponent at the moment. Their attacking output — 15 goals in five matches — combined with disciplined defending and a squad filled with players in good form makes them clear favorites capable of winning this match with ease. “Lok. Zagreb” have shown that t... Show more
Both Newcastle and Tottenham appear with significantly revamped squads this season, but while Newcastle are moving toward weakening and rejuvenating their squad, the “Spurs” are tired of being near the bottom of the league table for 2 consecutive seasons and have spent heavily this summer.

Undoubtedly, Galatasaray’s footballers are stronger than their opponents and dominate the head-to-head record decisively. The team has won its last 9 head-to-head encounters, and the most popular score over this period was 3:1 in their favor, occurring 5 times. Moreover, in the previous 10 head-to-h... Show more
In fact, had both teams been luckier in finishing their attacks, their combined efforts in the first game would have produced more than 3 goals, so I have little faith that the nature of the tie can change. Moreover, both teams have already shown their attacking teeth in this European campaign, whil... Show more
On the one hand, we have a highly motivated Altglienicke, who regularly score at home, have hit excellent form, and possess quality attacking players. The hosts are not intimidated by their opponents’ reputation and are ready to impose an open contest.
On the other hand, there is a revamped Wolfsbur... Show more
I believe Schott Mainz will not suffer a heavy defeat. The difference will definitely not exceed five goals. Borussia are currently not in their best form and concede a lot, which will work in the hosts' favor. Away from home, the visitors' average goal difference is only +2.25. I favor the hosts wi...

Neither team will sit back in defense. Despite Valencia's passive and cautious tactical style, Celta Vigo's proactive approach will surely force them to act more boldly and raise the intensity of the contest. Given that both teams scored in the last 6 head-to-head matches, the likelihood of this tre... Show more
Both teams play exclusively in an attacking manner and think about defense as a last resort. That is why both Sion and Ajax currently have long streaks with 2 or more goals scored, while Sion, for example, has had 7 consecutive games in which Total Over 2.5 landed, as well as 12 such matches out of ...

I am not expecting a goal fest here. Atalanta are only just entering the season and are still getting used to Sarri's demands. The hosts' attack has been weakened by injuries to De Ketelaere and Sulemana, and a difficult schedule in the league awaits the team.
Hapoel Tel Aviv, meanwhile, will field ... Show more
The teams’ first head-to-head battle should undoubtedly be played in an attacking manner. The attacking styles of both teams, their tendency to take aggressive action going forward, as well as their far-from-reliable defensive play, suggest that we will see a highly attacking encounter here.

A packed arena, a return to the elite, and a guest of this caliber mean that Schalke certainly will not sit back, while their open style has already cost them three goals in the game against Atalanta.
