Both teams have scored in all five of Basel’s games so far this season and they may struggle to contain a Copenhagen side who have been in impressive form going forward, putting five past Malmo in their last qualifier. Over 2.5 goals has landed in all of Basel’s games and there have been at least four scored in each of their last three fixtures, with both teams likely to contribute these teams can combine for over 3.5 goals.

Backing both teams to score looks a good starting point for this National League fixture. Rochdale have scored six goals across their three games in all comps but have managed just one clean sheet, while Gateshead have scored five but conceded seven themselves and have also kept just one shut-out. Dale have made a perfect start to the season with three wins in as many games and they can keep that run going even if they are unable to keep a clean sheet.

Shrewsbury are yet to score in the league this season, with their one strike coming in an EFL Cup loss, but they can break their duck at Notts County. Both teams have scored in all three of the hosts’ league assignments and in each of the last three meetings between these two sides. With both defences looking vulnerable, both teams should be able to get on the scoresheet.

Reading have lost all three of their league games already this season and have only scored once, they could be set for another defeat without finding the net against a Bolton side who look much improved defensively.

Forest Green aren’t suffering any hangover from last season’s play-off disappointment and they come into this game after back-to-back wins. Rovers can make it three in a row against a Sutton side they beat twice in the league last term.

Aryna Sabalenka dominated the hard courts on the WTA tour last year, winning 40 of her 49 matches on the surface, and she claimed both the Australian Open and US Open titles. She can be devastating in Melbourne, winning 27 of her last 28 matches at the Grand Slam in the last three seasons.

Iga Swiatek remains the undisputed queen of clay on the WTA tour. The Pole has won the title at Roland Garros three seasons running as well as in 2020 and she has lost just twice in 37 matches at the clay-court Grand Slam.

Last season’s ATP Tour was pretty much dominated by Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who each won two of the four Grand Slam titles, and between them it should be another stellar year. Alcaraz reigned supreme at Wimbledon, making it back-to-back titles at the All England Club, and Novak Djokovic’s obvious decline at 37 years of age makes the Spaniard a worthy favourite to rack up the hat-trick.

At the back end of a gruelling season, the US Open can sometimes throw up strange results and there are often surprises before the September silverware is eventually secured. It could, therefore, be worth going against the head of the market and hard-court specialist Daniil Medvedev ticks plenty of boxes at a nice price.

Bodo Glimt head into this clash having won seven of their last eight league games to move top of the table. The club won nine of their 11 home games in Europe last season, conceding in six of those victories. Sturm Graz lost all four of their Champions League away days last season, but they did scored in visits to Lille and Brest.

Celtic summer buy Benjamin Nygren has impressed in the early stages of his Parkhead career, scoring and providing an assist in the win over Aberdeen. He can make his mark on the European stage with a goal on Wednesday.

Kasper Hogh has scored in five of his last six appearances for Bodo Glimt, while he has 16 strikes in 19 Eliteserien matches this season. He scored twice in five Champions League appearances last season, before netting seven times in 14 Europa League outings.

Bolton loan recruit Mason Burstow has one goal in three League One games this season and has been getting chances, managing two attempts (one on target) without scoring against Barnsley at the weekend. The visit of out of sorts Reading looks like a good chance for the forward to add to his tally.

Bodo Glimt head into this clash having won seven of their last eight league games to move top of the table. The club won nine of their 11 home games in Europe last season, conceding in six of those victories. Sturm Graz lost all four of their Champions League away days last season, but they did score in visits to Lille and Brest. Bodo Glimt impressed in some high-profile matches last term, scoring 10 times in home knockout wins over Twente, Olympiakos, and Lazio to make the Europa League semis. The club scored 10 times across their three home games in Champions League qualifying last season, so back them to continue their brilliant form with a 3-1 win.

Benfica are unbeaten in their last seven games against Turkish teams and cruised past Nice in the last Champions League qualifying round, winning both games 2-0. They should be too strong for this Fenerbahce side in this first leg. Benfica are yet to concede in four games this season and their back line is their clear strength, they have already picked up a pair of 1-0 wins this season and could secure another.

Celtic have won their first three games of the campaign and they’re heavy favourites to see off Kairat Almaty. The visitors scored with their only shot on target in a visit to Ljubljana in the first round of qualifying, while they’ve lost their two European trips since without scoring. The Bhoys won three of their four home games in the League Phase of the Champions League last season, so back them for a routine qualifying victory.

Estudiantes left it late to claim a 1-0 win in Paraguay in the first leg but on the balance of play they were worthy victors. With home advantage, the Argentine outfit should be able to see off Cerro Porteno with a win inside 90 minutes. Estundiantes have gone four games without a clean sheet at home, however, and Cerro Porteno have scored in five consecutive road games. The visitors need to attack if they are to recover a one-goal deficit so back the hosts to win and concede.

This will be the third meeting between these two Brazilian rivals in the space of a week after their Serie A meeting a few days ago. Flamengo have won both games and they won 3-1 at this venue on Sunday. The visitors can kill this tie off with a win but an Internacional goal is expected as they have to try and fight their way back into the tie and have a decent scoring record at home, having scored in 20 of their last 21 home fixtures across all comps.

The Gers won 4-2 against lower league Alloa in the cup at the weekend, the sixth time in their last seven matches that both teams have scored. Rangers have won 2-0 and 3-0 in their first two home games in the Champions League this term. However, the Gers conceded plenty of chances in both matches, while they meet a Club Brugge side who scored four times across their two meetings with Salzburg in the last round.

Bodo Glimt impressed in some high-profile matches last term, scoring 10 times in home knockout wins over Twente, Olympiakos, and Lazio to make the Europa League semis. They’ve scored 47 goals across their last 18 home matches in Europe.

FCSB have conceded two or more goals in five of their last seven matches. But they have scored in six of their seven away trips this term too. The Dons finally got some goals in a 3-0 cup win over Morton last weekend, so a high-scoring game is on the cards.

Chelsea have won two of their last three Premier League away games and won five of their seven Club World Cup matches inside 90 minutes. They scored at least two goals in seven of those combined 10 matches. The Hammers scored in five of their final six home games last season.

Blackpool have seen five goals scored in each of their three league games to date, while Plymouth have won and lost 3-2 in their previous two outings.

Maurizio Sarri returns to take charge of a stagnant Lazio side, which should see them play open football without much defensive strength. Como are set to leapfrog Lazio this term following a string of attacking signings, but Cesc Fabregas’s side struggled to contain top-half teams in Serie A last season.
