Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there's no obvious winner here, but good reason to think NEC and Levski will find the net twice at least between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Dick Schreuder or Julio Velázquez Santiago has served up too many 0-0s recently either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.25 equating to roughly a 78% probability.
