REF’s picks

FC Lugano and Crvena Zvezda look evenly matched on paper, but backing Over 2.5 goals at 1.68 gives us a solid angle on what should be an open European contest. Both sides have shown defensive vulnerabilities in recent continental outings, pointing to goals at both ends.

1. 1Both teams have shown high-scoring tendencies in their recent European fixtures.
2. 2Lugano's backline has looked shaky when pressed by technically sound opponents.
3. 3A tight scoreline could leave spaces open late as both teams search for a winner.
