⚽ Port Vale vs Cardiff City – Both Teams to Score
John Pentin; Football Writer at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Port Vale’s return to League One started with a gutsy but ultimately unsuccessful performance against Rotherham, where they played the majority of the match a man down yet still managed to find the net. At home, they are expected to be more assertive and should offer more in attack—especially with the creative George Byers and physical presence of Tolaj leading the charge.
On the other hand, Cardiff kicked off their campaign with a 2-1 home win and demonstrated attacking cohesion, particularly with the Colwill brothers and Ronan Kpakio involved in the final third. While the Bluebirds have a strong recent record against Vale, they haven’t always kept it tight at the back, conceding in each of their last three visits to Vale Park.
Defensively, both sides are missing key personnel. Port Vale are without Ben Amos and Jaheim Headley, while Cardiff may be without Perry Ng and Alex Robertson. With vulnerability in both back lines and energy in attack, this one looks ideal for both sides finding the net.

🇷🇸 Partizan vs Hibernian – Partizan to Win
Tyler Morris; Scottish & Eastern European Football Specialist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Partizan are building real momentum this season. A convincing 6-0 win over Oleksandria in the last round followed by a perfect start in the Serbian SuperLiga shows they’ve bounced back well from their early European exit. Despite missing Arandel Stojkovic through suspension and potential fitness concerns around Mario Jurcevic, they remain a powerful force at home.
Hibernian, meanwhile, are struggling to replicate last season’s improvement. A disappointing Europa League exit at the hands of Midtjylland was followed by a narrow 2-1 win over Dundee. While Kieron Bowie has started brightly, the overall form on the road is cause for concern. The Edinburgh side have won just one of their last seven away from home, and Thursday’s trip to Serbia presents a stern challenge.
With Partizan’s quality in midfield and finishing power up front, they should make the most of their home advantage to establish control in the tie.
Best Bet: Partizan to Win
🇵🇹 Larne vs Santa Clara – Santa Clara to Win
Wolfgang Shotten; European Competition Analyst at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Santa Clara head to Northern Ireland in solid form and full of confidence. Having overturned a 2-1 first-leg deficit against Varazdin with a clinical 2-0 win at home, the Portuguese side demonstrated their ability to respond under pressure. Now unbeaten in six competitive and pre-season matches, they’re showing signs of being a composed, well-drilled outfit.
Larne, for all their resilience, have yet to win in this season’s European qualifiers, drawing all four of their matches so far. More concerning is their lack of firepower at home—failing to score in either of their home legs so far. Nathan Rooney’s side are on a long unbeaten run domestically but are still learning to manage the step-up in continental opposition.
With key absences including Paul O’Neill (suspended) and striker Andy Ryan (injured), Larne may lack the cutting edge to challenge a Santa Clara team filled with attacking threats like Lopes and Gabriel Silva.
Best Bet: Santa Clara to Win
🇦🇹 Rapid Vienna vs Dundee United – Over 2.5 Goals
Linus Bergström; Austrian & Central European Football Expert at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Rapid Vienna have started the season like a side with serious intent. Four wins from four across all competitions, including an emphatic 6-2 aggregate victory over FK Decic, show they’re firing on all cylinders. Their attacking trio of Petter Dahl, Janis Antiste and Andrija Radulovic has clicked immediately, and they look dangerous every time they go forward.
Dundee United, while less tested, are also showing attacking potential. Jim Goodwin’s new signings—Watters, Sapsford and Dolcek—have all made positive impacts early in their United careers, and a 2-2 draw in the league against Falkirk showed both their promise and their flaws. The Tangerines are unbeaten in five but have kept just one clean sheet in that time.
With both teams fielding multiple attacking threats and neither completely settled defensively, goals seem likely in Vienna. The Austrian side could easily score two or three on their own, and United’s counter-attacking options could add to the tally.
Best Bet: Over 2.5 Goals
