Tips — Tuesday, 4 August 2026

💬 Laos have let in 13 goals in their three group games. Myanmar won 4-1 at the Philippines last week. All six meetings between these two had 3 or more goals, averaging 4.0 a game. A 3-1 to Myanmar looks likely, so goals are our pick of the game.

💬 Bayern have won 15 of their last 19 games and score 3.3 goals a game. Jeju have won only 7 of their last 20 and play two days after a 3-3 tie. Bayern travel without Kane, Olise and Musiala, so this is not their full side. Bayern are still our pick, but a 1-2 win is the likely score.

💬 Villa have won 10 of their last 16 games and score 2.1 goals a game. They beat Manchester City 2-1 and Liverpool 4-2 to close last season. BG Pathum are well organised and let in just 0.8 goals a game. Villa are our pick of the game, but a 1-2 win looks most likely.

💬 Thailand have not let in a goal in either group game so far. The last nine meetings between these two averaged only 2.7 goals. The Philippines have beaten Thailand once in 14 group meetings and should struggle to score. A 0-2 Thailand win looks likely, so the Under is our pick of the game.

💬 Sparta score 1.7 goals a game and 9 of their last 15 games had 3 or more. Lyon let in 1.6 goals a game and are missing two suspended defenders. A 2-1 to Sparta looks like the most likely score. Over is our pick of the game here.

💬 Union have won 9 of their last 14 games and let in 0.9 goals a game. Bodo/Glimt are on a great run with five straight wins and five clean sheets. Both sides are hard to score against, so a 1-1 tie looks like the likely score. Union are our pick of the game, but this is a tight call.
