The first leg meeting produced the most number of goals (5) in last week’s round of games, as Monaco edged the game 3-2 in Germany. Monaco are an exciting team and have no problem finding the net. The French side have scored the first goal in their last 10 games, while four of their last five games have produced over 2.5 goals. Monaco are not the best defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last three games while scoring and conceding in eight of their last nine.

The first leg produced two goals, as both teams settled for a 1-1 draw in Italy. Just like the first leg, we do not expect a lot of goals in the second leg, as both teams customarily take a cautious approach and are not so prolific in attack. Seven of Nantes’ last eight games have produced under 2.5 goals, while the same outcome has happened in five of Juventus’ last six games.

By far the biggest matchup of the Europa League playoff round, this fixture delivered on its promises in the first leg. Four goals, two apiece, and 13 shots on target were what we got when both teams met in Camp Nou. Games at Old Trafford have rarely failed to deliver on goals, with Manchester United’s last three home games producing over 2.5 goals. The Red Devils have found joy in attack, led by the in-form Marcus Rashford, but we expect a solid attacking display from Barcelona as well.

Rennes lost 2-1 in the first leg of this tie, but are back at home, where they have been solid all season. Games involving these teams have rarely been goal-shy, which is why we have decided to back the goals. Five of Rennes’ last six games have produced over 2.5 goals, while Shakhtar’s last nine games have produced the same outcome.
