Tips — Thursday, 23 July 2026

💬 CSKA Sofia keep games low, with their matches averaging just 1.9 goals in total. Both past meetings with Qarabag finished 1-0. A tight 1-0 again looks likely, which means few goals. The doubt is Qarabag, whose own games often reach three or more.

💬 Dynamo Kyiv are the stronger side and have kept playing, winning 7 of their last 12. PAOK come in cold after a long 67 day break. This tie is at a neutral ground in Poland, so neither team is really at home. A tight 1-0 Dynamo win looks likely, but PAOK tie a lot and could hold on.

💬 Sheriff are a fortress at home, winning 9 of their last 10 there. They let in only 0.3 goals a game at home and are hard to score against. Maccabi Tel Aviv carry a scoring threat, netting 2.2 a game on their travels. But Sheriff's solid defense should edge a tight 1-0 win here.

💬 Hammarby are in great form at home and score plenty, netting 2.4 goals a game. They have won three league games in a row and let in only 1.0 a game. Anderlecht arrive rusty after a 60 day break and miss four first-team players. Expect Hammarby to win, most likely by a 2-1 scoreline.

💬 Ferencvaros are in great form, winning their last five games in a row. They are also match-ready after coming through an earlier round. Twente are only starting their season after a 67 day break, with new players still finding their feet. Expect Ferencvaros to win, most likely by a 1-2 scoreline.
