Tip and bets

2.62Handicap (-2) on Betis

In our opinion, Betis will take a victory here. Club reached the round of 16 in a previous edition of Europa League, so Spanish side has all what it takes to finish 1st in the group. HJK have very little chance to get the points in a first match.

Our prediction - Asian handicap (-2) on Betis

1.99both to score - yes

But we don't think that a victory will come easy for Betis. Spanish side will probably win by a wide margin, but a Finnish side won't sit the whole match on defense. HJK are on a long unbeaten run, so they might be able to score as well.

Our second bet is on both teams to score
