Expert Betting Tips

The home team have shown a class in their last five games on their home soil, while the visiting team have failed to secure a win in their last five games on the road. Notwithstanding, I expect the home team to display a class following their previous defeat in the 1st-leg matchup, while I expect the visiting team to build on their previous win. So, I expect both teams to find the net and record more than two goals. However, since the home team have won four of their last five games against the visiting team, and since they are good on their soil, I believe they will secure a win.
