Tip and bets
It will be a battle between two evenly matched opponents, just like a first leg of the contest. Both sides have a number of experienced and skilled footballers in their line-ups. Both clubs score a lot of goals, but are far from perfect on the defensive end. We are expecting goals from both opponents today.
Our prediction - both teams to score
In our opinion, a second leg will go by the same scenario as the first one. A spot in the semi-final of the prestigious European tournament is at stake, so opponents will be extremely motivated. We think that game will go in extra-time, maybe we will see a penalty shoot-out.
Our second bet is on a draw
