Whether it’s a goalscorer angle, a BTTS trend, or a high-priced underdog, each tip is backed by research and reasoning to help you bet smarter.
Why We’re Backing Both Teams to Score @ 1/1 with Bet365
- Bayern’s scoring threat is pretty clear after a 10-0 victory, but the Bavarians had an easy time defensively against Auckland.
- Given how Boca Juniors raced into a 2-0 lead within half an hour against Benfica, the Argentine side should be capable of causing problems.
- Bayern’s Champions League games this term showed their defensive issues, as they conceded in 10 of their 14 matches. Of those four clean sheets, three came at the Allianz Arena.
- Boca eased off in the second half to protect their 2-1 lead, but they took their chances well in the opening period.
- The Argentine side have made a strong start domestically, winning 10 of their first 16 matches while scoring 24 goals. With a fitness edge over a Bayern side who should be on their summer break, back Boca to breach their defence.

Why We’re Backing Dayot Upamecano Over 0.5 Shots on Target @ 10/3 with Paddy Power
- Boca defended quite well against Benfica, with the Portuguese side scoring from a penalty and a set-piece.
- Bayern won’t get as much joy from their high press as they did against Auckland.
- Given how much space Nicolas Otamendi found for Benfica’s equaliser, a Bayern defender jumps out in the player betting.
- Dayot Upamecano had 11 shots in 20 appearances in the Bundesliga last season, averaging 0.6 per game.
- He’s set to come into the side after missing the first game, so he stands out for a shot on target at 10/3.

Player to Watch
Musiala made his Bayern Munich return in their clash with Auckland City, scoring a hat-trick in a 29-minute appearance as a substitute.
The attacking midfielder hadn’t featured since scoring against Augsburg in April. He picked up a hamstring injury which ruled him out for the season on the eve of their Champions League quarter-final with Inter Milan.
Musiala impressed at Euro 2024 with Germany last year and he looks to be on course for another strong summer showing.
