City’s games last season averaged just under three goals per game and Palace’s averaged 2.4. This has also been a high scoring fixture in recent seasons with each of the last six Premier League meetings between these two sides seeing at least three goals scored. City won both meetings last season 3-0 but have looked vulnerable at the back in the opening stages of the new campaign so both sides may be able to contribute, and they can combine for at least three goals.

Venezia won last season’s Serie B title but they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Lecce in last week’s opener and they could struggle to find the net against AC Milan.

Genk have scored nine goals in their first three games of the season and seven of those have come in their last two. They face a newly promoted Beveren side that were demolished 4-0 at Waragem last time out.

PSG have made a lackluster start to the new campaign and a French Champions Trophy defeat to Lens and 2-2 Ligue 1 draw with Rennes doesn’t inspire confidence when the Parisians head for Lille.

Sporting have scored eight and conceded five in their opening three matches this season, with both teams finding the net in all three. Rio Ave got up and running with a 2-0 win over Estoril last time out and have scored in their last two home meetings with Sporting. However, they lost both of these meetings and a goal is unlikely to be anything but a consolation.

Just one point separates these sides, but Galway United are the team in the ascendancy and head into this tie unbeaten in seven. Shelbourne have drawn one and lost four of their last five games and are winless in seven on the road.

Deportivo Pasto have lost all four of their Colombia Primera A games and have failed to score in the last three of these, while Inter Bogota won their last home fixture 1-0.

Llaneros are unbeaten in their last seven competitive games and haven’t lost at home since February. They are underdogs against a Millonarios side that drew at Aguilas last time out.

Bayern Munich stormed to Bundesliga glory last season but keeping clean sheets was an issue for Vincent Kompany’s team, so Stuttgart can at least find the net.

Lille scored twice away to Angers in their opener and have found the net in 11 of their last 12 meetings with PSG, but they are unlikely to keep the Parisien attack at bay.

Alaves have found the net in each of their La Liga fixtures this season and another high-scoring affair could be in store for Villarreal, who have played out two 2-2 draws to start the season.

A 3-1 win for Man City has a chance here. City scored exactly three goals in both league meetings last season, and they should probably have scored more than the two they managed against Bournemouth. City look a little vulnerable defensively and the Eagles look capable of at least grabbing a consolation effort as they were unfortunate to draw a blank at Everton last time out.

Birmingham were held to a 0-0 draw at Sheffield United in their Championship opener but with the Blues putting two past Bristol City and grabbing a consolation against Brentford, it is hard to see Wrexham keeping their visitors at bay. The hosts’ last two games have finished 1-1 and that trend may continue.

Former Palace man Marc Guehi scored in City’s win over Bournemouth and wasted a good chance before his goal. The defender had two shots in the last meeting between these sides last season and appeals as an outside contender for a goal on Friday, particularly with City’s forwards yet to hit their stride in the opening stages of the season.

Barcelona generated 4.38 xG in their 5-0 victory at Elche, and they can rack up a high-scoring win against a Bilbao side that suffered their third 3-1 defeat since Edin Terzic took charge in last weekend’s La Liga opener.

Ajax were rampant 4-2 winners at Sion last week, and with the Swiss side now having to chase qualification in the return fixture, the Amsterdam outfit are expected to win a high-scoring contest.

Anderlecht won the first leg 3-0 and look capable of reaching at least three goals again with home advantage in the return fixture. Kairat were outclassed last week and now have to attack to try and force their way back into the tie, while Anderlecht have been in fine scoring form at home with eight goals scored in three games across all competitions.

Fulham may make a few changes for this cup assignment but they should still beat Wimbledon fairly comfortably, and without conceding. The Dons have scored just two goals in total in four games this season and have failed to score in five of their last seven competitive away games.

Tromso only registered one shot on target in last week’s first leg and a difficult trip to Brighton beckons. The Seagulls have kept five clean sheets in their last seven games at home, including friendlies.

Larne claimed a first-leg lead with a 2-0 victory in Gibraltar last week, and they can finish the job in Thursday’s return meeting. Larne have kept four clean sheets across their last seven home European games, while Lincoln Red Imps have lost to nil in their last two away qualifiers.

Celta Vigo finished sixth last season, and they’ll be hoping to push on and make a Champions League push this season. The visitors were beaten in 13 of their 19 away trips last season, and another defeat looms after a quiet summer.

Tromso only registered one shot on target in last week’s first leg and a difficult trip to Brighton beckons. The Seagulls have kept five clean sheets in their last seven games at home, including friendlies.

Chelsea’s attack is in-form as they have scored exactly three goals in each of their last four games including friendlies. Luton have scored at least twice in all three of their games this season and that run of scoring multiple goals stretches back into the previous campaign. Jack Wilshere’s side have scored more than once in 11 straight competitive games across all competitions, and they can manage at least one against a rotated Chelsea side who shipped two at Fulham.

Barcelona generated 4.38 xG in their 5-0 victory at Elche, and they can rack up a high-scoring win against a Bilbao side that suffered their third 3-1 defeat since Edin Terzic took charge in last weekend’s La Liga opener. This rampant Barca side can reach at least four goals having hit nine without reply across the two league meetings between these teams last season. 

Ferencvaros won the first leg 1-0 but the game should have provided more goals. Trabzonspor had 24 attempts in total and should be a threat in attack in Hungary, particularly with Mo Salah now off the mark for the Turkish side after his double over the weekend. Ferencvaros have scored in 15 of their last 16 competitive home games so both of these sides look capable of getting on the scoresheet.
