Expert Betting Tips

In this pair we offer the main betting option to exchange goals. In the five most recent meetings between the rivals this bet has gone in, we believe that this trend will continue. In addition, as the first round showed, both teams have a good attack, but the defence is not so good. As for the outcome, we won't be surprised if the upcoming match ends in a draw, just like last season's meeting played in Sevilla.
