Bodo/Glimt vs Union Saint-Gilloise (Champions League Qualifiers) - 17:00
Last week’s first leg between Bodo/Glimt and Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium was a continental corker which finished level at 3-3 following a pulsating contest at the KVDO Arena.
Both teams profited from plenty of lax defending and suspect goalkeeping in Oostende, with the net rippling four times in the first half and twice in the second to set up what should be a similarly entertaining second leg in Norway.
Regular followers of Bodo/Glimt wouldn’t have been surprised at the amount of chaos on show in last week’s first leg. The club’s Eliteserien campaign is already 17 games in and Bodo/Glimt’s matches have been averaging 3.23 goals per 90 minutes t here. Bettors are advised to stick to goals for this one.
Recommended bet: Over 2.5 Goals – 21/50

NEC Nijmegen vs Olympiakos (Champions League Qualifiers) - 18:30
NEC delivered a shock third-place finish in last season’s Eredivisie and are aiming to qualify for the Champions League proper for the first time in their history this summer, and their dogged performance in Greece last week against Olympiakos could provide a platform for progression.
The Dutch side restricted their Greek hosts to just 0.59 in expected goals in last week’s first leg (0-0) and with home advantage to harness in the return fixture on Tuesday, they should be well-positioned to avoid defeat again.
Last term, Dick Schreuder’s NEC routinely rose to the big occasion, and only lost once in eight meetings with fellow top-four finishers, PSV, Ajax, Feyenoord and Twente.
NEC will feel they’ve done the hard part of this tie already and they offer value as a double chance market opportunity at home at the Goffertstadion at odds of 1.50.
Recommended bet: NEC Nijmegen Double Chance – 1/2

Slovan Bratislava vs Mjallby AIF (Champions League Qualifiers) - 19:15
Slovan Bratislava came from behind to clinch a 2-1 victory over Mjallby in last week’s first leg and the Slovakian side will have to work just as hard to overcome their Swedish counterparts in Tuesday’s closer.
Mjallby racked up 10 shots to Slovan’s 11 and four accurate attempts to their visitor’s three in Sweden a week ago, and looked on course to share the spoils before Bratislava’s Manasse Kianga scored a winner deep into injury time.
Slovan and Mjallby were evenly-matched at Strandvallen and a similarly competitive do-over could be in the works here in Slovakia. That gives us a chance to delve back into the BTTS markets, where prices sit at a generous 1.70 with LiveScoreBet.
Recommended bet: Both Teams to Score – 7/10

Sturm Graz vs Fenerbahce (Champions League Qualifiers) - 19:30
Star-studded Fenerbahce take a commanding 2-0 lead to Austria, where they will face a Sturm Graz side that will need to attack from the first whistle if they’re to have any chance of clawing their way back into the tie.
Sturm Graz were easily second-best in Turkey last week, posting a meagre 28% possession and conceding a galling 10 shots on target in Istanbul against a rampant-looking Fener, though they could rouse themselves to a more competitive level in the return leg.
Die Schwoazn restored some confidence with a 2-0 victory over Hartberg in the Austrian Bundesliga at the weekend and before their blank in Turkey, Sturm Graz had scored at least once in four competitive matches on the spin.
Their pursuit of parity on Tuesday should allow them to create chances, though pushing forward in numbers will open up spaces for Fenerbahce to exploit on the counter. The result could be goals at both ends, so look to the BTTS lines for profit here.
Recommended bet: Both Teams to Score – 3/5

Lyon vs Sparta Prague (Champions League Qualifiers) - 20:00
Lyon are targeting a return to the Champions League for the first time since their run to the semis in 2020, though Les Gones have work to do having lost the opening leg of their double-header against Sparta Prague (2-1).
The French outfit are odds-on favourites to topple their Czechian opponents, however, Sparta had the tools to unlock Lyon’s three-man defence in the first leg and created three big chances to their visitors’ one in Prague.
In truth, Lyon have had defensive issues this summer and conceded goals in five out of six pre-season friendlies before their 2-1 first-leg loss to Sparta last week.
Paulo Fonseca’s team aren’t short on firepower however, and can score at least once on Tuesday, but don’t be surprised if a clean sheet evades them again. This feels like another fixture with serious BTTS potential.
