We had an easy win for our Champions League double yesterday, and today's double should be equally safe. However, as today's selections are from the less predictable Europa League I am posting this double as just a suggestion, so if you have any doubts, just wait for the next official "Tipster's Double".
DoubleLeverkusen v Villarreal -
Asian handicap (0.0 Leverkusen)Anderlecht v Shakhtar -
No clean sheet (Shakhtar)At time of posting, odds were 1.90
These matches can be found in the Europa League.
Our first selection (Leverkusen) trail 2-0 from their first leg encounter away from home against Villarreal, so they have massive incentive to push for the win tonight, especially in front of their home fans. Both sides are strong teams from strong leagues and are fairly evenly matched, however Villarreal don't need to win to progress, in fact they can even lose by 1 goal and still progress. So knowing how much mentality plays a big factor in football, i just don't see Villarreal getting any more than 1 goal tonight, as 1 goal would make it so that Leverkusen need 4 goals to progress due to the away goals rule. Where as Leverkusen currently need at least 2 goals, therefore i see them getting at least a draw tonight as they will surely manage 1 goal, and they have the advantage of playing at home. Villarreal are a much stronger team when playing at home, so away from home tonight against a good German side with a lot of incentive, won't be an easy match for the Spanish side. I'd be surprised if Villarreal won tonight, because they simply don't need to, as long as they don't lose their goals advantage, they will be happy.
Our second selection (No clean sheet - Shakhtar) should stand a very good chance. As we saw with Bayern last night, they have one of the best defences in the world, yet Juventus scored, not because they are the better side, but because they had to. The same should apply here tonight as Shakhtar currently hold a 3-1 lead going into this 2nd leg match. Shakhtar deserved that win on the night, however Anderlecht still managed a goal away from home, and they are far stronger when playing at home. So knowing they need two goals, and given that this time they will have home advantage, there should be a strong chance Anderlecht can score again tonight. Domestically Anderlecht are unbeaten at home this season and have a better goal scoring record compared to when playing away from home. In fact, the last time Anderlecht failed to score in a home game was back in the middle of September, so 1 goal tonight should be very achievable.
