Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

All things considered, our prediction for Thursday's fixture is over 2.5 goals, meaning that we expect Salzburg and Basel to score 3 goals or more combined during the regulation 90 minutes. 2 goals or less would mean the time doesn't win but, with statistics below suggesting there will be plenty of firepower on the pitch, we think it looks like a great bet.
