Betting on both teams to score

A major cup semifinal in France between two rising and financially strong forces in the country’s football.

Strasbourg continued in the semifinals of the Conference League, while also not abandoning their effort for a better position in Ligue 1, although coach O’Neil made many changes and the team looked unrecognizable in the recent league match against Rennes, losing 3-0. The cup is a priority target and can also provide a European ticket. A problem is the injury of main striker Panichelli, but the team has already shown they can cope without him, as seen in the 4-0 win over Mainz.

Nice, on the other hand, are fully focused on the cup. Despite their average form, they are unlikely to be in danger; the 1-1 draw in Lille on Saturday helped a lot and coach Puel has openly set winning the cup as the team’s main objective (where everything is open since Paris Saint Germain have been eliminated).

Their two meetings this season were open with chances and goals, both ending with both teams scoring (3-1 and 1-1), as did their last five overall encounters.

The solid price on both teams to score covers me.
