1.90Tip and bets
The hosts are significantly superior to the guests in class, but the Serbian team takes its toll due to dedication. At the same time, the Belgian club has never beaten its opponents in the Conference League with a difference of more than one goal. We think that the guests will be able to impose competition on their opponents, and maybe even snatch points in this match.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (+1.5) on Backa Topola for 2.00
Bet on total
The opponents are competing for a place in the playoffs, so they will probably be properly prepared for the face-to-face match. We believe that we will see a tough confrontation in which the teams will rely on defense. We will not expect many dangerous moments in this game.
Our prediction is total under 3.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 2.90
