Betting on Goals – Combo Bet

The penultimate round of the Europa League group stage finds both teams aiming for victory in order to keep their qualification hopes alive.

Salzburg have only three points and face Aston Villa in the final round, so their chances are slim, but in front of their home crowd they must exhaust them. They are also coming from a period without competitive action, but prepared through friendly matches for the restart of domestic and European duties. This is a team with an attacking style that will play openly for the win.

Basel are in a better position with six points and are also racing against time, while they finish their group campaign by hosting Plzen in a difficult match. They have more matches in their legs, as the Swiss league is active, are probably a better team than the hosts and have more qualification hopes. They are also an attacking team that scores consistently, but at the same time struggles to keep a clean sheet, as seen in the recent league match against Sion (1-1).

Basel always produce matches with goals against Austrian teams, and in Salzburg they even won 2-1 on their previous visit.

An open match that both teams want, strong attacks, average defenses. A recipe for a combination of both teams to score and over 2.5 goals at a reasonable price.
