Best Tip: Both teams to score

After looking at our match predictions, bookies' odds and relevant statistics, there's one market that seems hard to ignore for this tie: both teams to score. In Basel and Plzen we have two sides going head-to-head that can both score and concede, and we expect them to maintain that reputation on Thursday night. BTTS – yes best odds: 1.62.
