Analysis

2% Rotation #224225: Champions League: Wednesday 2% OVER 2.5 -164 in Sparta Prague vs Red Bull Salzburg @ 12:45 ET - Sparta Prague 2.3 goals per match in their 6 Champions League Qualifying matches and they scored at least 2 goals in 5 of the 6 matches. Red Bull Salzburg has averaged 2.4 goals per match in their last 8 matches across all competitions including Austrian Bundesliga action. The fact is both these clubs have plenty of attacking talent and the fact the money line on this match has nearly even odds across the board - home/draw/visitor - tells you not to be surprised if we see a back and forth affair possibly ending up a 2-2 battle! We only need 3 to cash our ticket here and I like the value on that at a moderate, yet reasonable, price in the marketplace as of early Wednesday morning. Look for a raucous home crowd to help support Prague to be at their attacking best here at home but this Salzburg club is loaded with young attacking talent as well and they will push the pace of this match and will take advantage of weaknesses in the Sparta Prague defense. I know the hosts had success against Malmo in the prior round but this followed a 3-match stretch allowing 5 goals in this competition to Shamrock Rovers and FCSB. The latter is a Romanian club I follow closely and there were plenty of opportunities for FCSB to score even more than the 3 goals they got in the two matches with Sparta Prague. More of the same expected here! 2% OVER 2.5 -164 in Sparta Prague
