💰 Value Bet: Both Teams to Score – Yes

Why We Like This Bet

PAOK have been impressive at home, winning four of their last five matches and scoring freely in front of their supporters. They showed great character to eliminate Dynamo Kyiv and will be confident of taking a first-leg advantage. Anderlecht are also carrying momentum after remaining unbeaten in their last five matches and have enough attacking quality to threaten the Greek defence. This match is likely to feature plenty of goals as both sides love to attack. I am however backing the visitors to come away with a win or draw. 

Confidence
