🇵🇱 Lech Poznan vs Red Star Belgrade

Wolfgang Shotten; Football journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
The Champions League qualifier between Lech Poznan and Red Star Belgrade has all the makings of a high-scoring encounter. Lech have been prolific at home, netting seven goals in their last UCL home outing against Breidablik. They’re unbeaten in six at home across all competitions and found the net in each of those matches.

Red Star, on the other hand, arrive in Poland on the back of four wins in four and a jaw-dropping 17 goals scored in that run. They were ruthless in their demolition of Lincoln Red Imps, particularly in the first half, with Bruno Duarte and Katai pulling the strings. However, their defence has shown brief lapses—conceding twice in that same span.

Both teams possess attacking quality and momentum, and with so much at stake in the first leg, neither side will be willing to sit back. Expect a fast start and chances at both ends.

Best Bet: Both Teams To Score

🇫🇷 Nice vs Benfica

Linus Bergström; BettingTips4You contributor and European football specialist
Rationale:
A tough-to-call clash on paper, Nice vs Benfica brings together two sides with plenty to prove. For Nice, this is their first official fixture of the season, and while pre-season went reasonably well, they’ve not competed in the Champions League since the 1950s. Still, the attacking trio of Moffi, Bouanani and Guessand showed sparks in friendlies and should pose threats, particularly on the counter.

Benfica, meanwhile, are further along in their preparation. A win over Sporting Lisbon in the Super Cup followed a solid showing against Fenerbahce, and Vangelis Pavlidis is in sizzling form with six UCL goals in as many appearances. However, Benfica are not invulnerable defensively—missing key names like Bruma and Bah weakens their back line.

The French side are no strangers to early defensive errors in Europe, but they can score at home. With both teams favouring proactive football, this one promises goals on each side.

🇨🇭 Basel vs Young Boys

Herrin Kendrick; Swiss football expert at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Wednesday’s Swiss Super League clash between Basel and Young Boys is primed for goals at both ends. Basel are off to a lively start, scoring and conceding in their opening two games. While their 40 total shots highlight attacking intent, Ludovic Magnin’s side remain vulnerable at the back with two key defenders sidelined.

Young Boys are well-matched in firepower. They’ve scored in both league games this season and boast one of the best offensive records in the country. Jean-Pierre Nsame and Cedric Itten’s absence has allowed others to step up, with Bedia and Fassnacht thriving in recent fixtures.

The last time these two met at St Jakob Park, the result was a 2-2 draw. With both sides eyeing continental football this month, expect them to field strong lineups—and don’t be surprised to see the net bulge on both ends.

🇭🇷 HNK Rijeka vs Shelbourne

Gram Dodd; Irish and Balkan football analyst at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
This Europa League qualifier between Rijeka and Shelbourne offers a sneaky-good BTTS opportunity. Rijeka have rediscovered form since their UCL exit, and their 2-0 win over Slaven Belupo showed their attacking depth with goals coming deep into added time.

Shelbourne, for their part, have proven they can dig in and frustrate sides. While their heavy loss to Qarabag raised eyebrows, they bounced back immediately with a win over Sligo Rovers. Odubeko and Coote are forming a decent partnership up front, and Joey O’Brien’s men know the importance of taking away an away goal.

Rijeka will dominate possession at home, but they are prone to lapses—especially after red card suspensions to key starters. Shelbourne won’t need many chances to pounce. With both sides still adjusting to European competition, this leg could be scrappier than expected.

Best Bet: BTTS – Yes

🏴 Aston Villa vs Roma

Steve Harrington; English football reporter at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Aston Villa’s midweek meeting with Roma might be labelled a pre-season clash, but the attacking power on show should make for an entertaining watch. Villa have found the net in all of their last four matches, including their U.S. tour where Ollie Watkins scored in three straight.

Roma have also been clinical in pre-season, hitting the net 14 times across four wins. Evan Ferguson, the new man up front, already has a hat-trick to his name, and Gasperini’s aggressive 3-4-2-1 setup is built to generate chances. Even in friendly mode, both sides approach these games with serious intent.

Defensively, both outfits have vulnerabilities—Villa let in two late goals against Nashville, while Roma are adjusting to Gasperini’s tactics. Neither side is expected to be at full strength at the back, so it’s hard to see either keeping a clean sheet.
