✅ Benfica vs Chelsea
Expert: Gram Dodd; Football Analyst at BettingTips4You
Best bet – Chelsea to win & Under 2.5 goals
🧠 Rationale:
As Chelsea prepare for a testing quarter-final clash against Benfica in the sweltering heat of Charlotte, the signs suggest a low-scoring victory for the Blues. Sandro Schwarz’s side have been far from perfect, but they've shown enough tactical structure and defensive resilience to handle a Benfica team that struggles when the pace quickens.
Benfica may have gone unbeaten in their last 16 matches over 90 minutes, but they've drawn four of their last six and relied heavily on individual brilliance and set pieces to stay in games. Against Bayern, they edged a rotated side 1-0 in what was a match short on quality.
Chelsea, in contrast, were composed and clinical against ES Tunis. Players like Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto are showing real sharpness in the final third, and with the likes of Reece James and Enzo Fernandez returning to the XI, they look balanced.
Expect Chelsea to control the game, soak up pressure, and grind out a controlled win—without a flood of goals.
Both Teams to Score | |
7/10 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Marseille’s attacking quality through Aubameyang and Weah meets Ajax’s ability to score on the road. Neither side defends well in Europe, with Marseille conceding in 21 of 22 Champions League matches and Ajax without a clean sheet since 2019. Goals at both ends seem unavoidable.

✅ England U21 vs Germany U21
Expert: Tyler Morris; Youth Football Specialist at BettingTips4You
Best bet – Over 2.5 goals
🧠 Rationale:
The final of the European Under-21 Championship sees England seek revenge against a Germany side who beat them in the group stage. That 2-1 loss didn’t reflect the run of play—England generated more chances, dominated the xG, and had more shots overall.
Both nations have been free-scoring throughout the tournament. Germany have notched 15 goals, scoring in every game, while England’s attacking unit—spearheaded by Harvey Elliott, Jay Stansfield, and James McAtee—has looked dangerous throughout. Both sides possess full-throttle attacking units that press high and play with width, leaving their defensive lines exposed.
With neither team likely to park the bus in a final, and both boasting players capable of unlocking defences, goals look inevitable. This is a fixture where caution rarely takes over, and recent head-to-heads suggest the net should bulge multiple times.
Galatasaray Over 1.5 Team Goals | |
13/8 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Galatasaray are strong at home, scoring at least twice in nine of their last 11 European matches in Istanbul. Liverpool’s defence is leaky, conceding multiple goals in five of eight games this season. With Osimhen fit again, Gala’s attack can cause serious problems.

✅ CF Montreal vs New York City FC
Expert: John Pentin; MLS Analyst at BettingTips4You
Best bet – Both teams to score
🧠 Rationale:
Montreal are desperate for a win at Saputo Stadium, but their defensive record at home in 2025 offers little optimism—they've shipped 14 goals in their last four home MLS matches. Still, their attacking threat remains, particularly through Prince Osei Owusu, who has been a reliable source of goals.
New York City FC have been efficient in the final third recently, scoring 11 times in their last five games, and arrive in Canada on the back of a thumping 4-0 win over Atlanta. Even without first-choice keeper Matt Freese, they’ve shown they can score from different areas of the pitch, including midfield runners like Hannes Wolf.
Both teams come into this clash with goals in them but question marks at the back. With each side missing key players due to the Gold Cup, there should be enough chaos and creativity for both to get on the scoresheet.
Bayern Munich -2 Handicap | |
21/20 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Bayern are ruthless, scoring at least three in each of their last seven matches. Pafos created just 0.3 xG in their Champions League opener. With Kane in top form, Bayern should breeze to a big win with a margin of at least three.

✅ Toronto vs Portland Timbers
Expert: Steve Harrington; North America Football Expert at BettingTips4You
Best bet – Toronto to win & both teams to score
🧠 Rationale:
Toronto may sit near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, but their matches at BMO Field often involve narrow margins. They’ve lost seven home matches by just one goal and finally showed resilience midweek, coming from behind to draw 1-1 with New York Red Bulls.
They’ve had the upper hand over Portland historically, especially at home, winning four of their last five meetings at this venue. With Theo Corbeanu and Matty Longstaff injecting some spark into the side, the Reds are capable of turning things around.
Portland are dangerous, especially on the counter, and have scored in most of their recent fixtures. However, without Maxime Crepeau, and with some key injury doubts, they may struggle to shut out a side that looks due a home breakthrough. Expect Toronto to edge it in a game with goals.
Middlesbrough to Win | |
11/10 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Middlesbrough are unbeaten at home this season, winning five of seven overall. Stoke have lost recent games against QPR and West Brom, looking shaky at the back. With Boro in free-scoring form and Stoke struggling for points, the hosts should dominate.

🧲 Saturday Super Double
England U21 vs Germany U21 – England to win
Benfica vs Chelsea – Both teams to score
Rationale:
England’s young stars look primed for redemption after an unfortunate group-stage loss to Germany, while Chelsea and Benfica both have enough attacking talent to ensure goals at both ends. These selections offer balance between form and match narrative, combining well for a strong-value double.
Tuesday’s Super Double | |
2/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Marseille’s strong record at the Vélodrome against Dutch sides makes them a good shout for victory, especially with Aubameyang firing. Pairing that with goals in Bristol City v Ipswich – two teams who’ve seen plenty of BTTS lately – creates an attractive daily double.
