REF’s picks

Under 1.5 goals in the first half leans on the cautious opening exchanges typical of continental fixtures. Teams usually prioritize defensive shape before opening up after the break.

1. 1Both teams will be keen to avoid conceding the opening goal in a tight group stage.
2. 2A sudden flurry of action before the break could easily break this under line.
