Barcelona vs Napoli - Both Teams to Score

After failing to qualify from Group E in the Champions League, Barcelona host Napoli as they begin their Europa League campaign. The Italian side have been impressive when it mattered in the Europa League navigating their way out of a tricky group at the expense of Leicester City in the final round of group fixtures. Both these sides have been in good goalscoring form of late with Napoli finding the back of the net in their last seven in all competitions. Having added reinforcements in attacking areas, Xavi’s Barcelona have also looked dangerous in front of goal, scoring six in their last two matches and at least one in their last 12 in all competitions.

Dortmund vs Rangers - Over 2.5 Goals

Giovanni Van Bronckhorst’s Rangers travel to Dortmund to take on a Dortmund side who have been in patchy form. Despite a free-scoring attacking line, BVB have been somewhat leaky at the back, conceding 14 goals in their last four matches. Rangers have managed consecutive clean sheets in their last two fixtures but face a different level of opposition against Reus and co. We are expecting goals in this one and over 2.5 goals looks like a good angle in.

Porto to win

Porto are in imperious home form and are unbeaten at the Estádio do Dragão since losing to Atleti on the 7th of December in the final match of the Champions League group stages. Their opponents, Lazio, have historically struggled against Portuguese sides in Europe losing four of their last five against Portuguese sides in European competitions. With the home advantage we expect Porto to come away with the win here.
