REF’s picks

AS Monaco return to the Stade Louis II looking to bounce back domestically, but their European form remains potent enough to cover goals. FC Nordsjaelland's matches are wide open and high-scoring, meaning the over 2.5 goals line offers the cleanest path.

1. 1Monaco boast an explosive attacking unit featuring Ansu Fati and Paris Brunner capable of tearing open visiting defences.
2. 2Nordsjaelland's recent fixtures have been chaotic goal-fests, including a 3-3 draw with Lyngby and a 3-2 defeat to Midtjylland.
3. 3Monaco's recent defensive vulnerabilities and Nordsjaelland's tendency to concede multiple goals on the road create the risk of a stalemate if the visitors successfully park the bus early.
