Monaco vs Getafe
Monaco have scored seven goals and conceded six goals in their three pre-season fixtures so far, while Getafe have scored four goals and conceded five goals in their four pre-season matches.
Given the high-scoring nature of both teams throughout their pre-season preparations, we are expecting another entertaining clash with plenty of attacking action, leading us to predict over 2.5 goals.
Over 2.5 goals, 1.97 – 5M3B3BF
Bristol City vs Walsall
Championship Bristol City take on League Two Walsall in an EFL Cup first round fixture on Thursday, and the hosts are the overwhelming favourites to secure a comfortable victory and progress into the next round.
Walsall head into the game after a disastrous pre-season, losing two and drawing two of their four games, while Bristol City are unbeaten in their last three pre-season matches, including a stunning 4-1 win against Newcastle United.
Given the stark contrast in form and Bristol City’s superiority on paper, we are backing the home side to secure a commanding win.
Bristol City to win, 1.43 – 5M3B7RQ
Benfica vs Hearts
Benfica are unbeaten at their home ground in competitive fixtures since losing to Real Madrid in February 2026, while Hearts head into the clash having lost all three of their competitive matches at the start of the 2026/27 season.
Benfica, alongside boasting the home advantage, are also in stronger form, with back-to-back wins heading into the fixture, and the Portuguese side will be expected to dominate the clash and secure the first leg win.
In addition, Benfica have shown their attacking quality with 10 goals scored in their last two matches, while Hearts have conceded eight goals in their three games this term, leading us to expect a high-scoring encounter with over 2.5 goals.
Benfica & over 2.5 goals, 1.31 – 5M3BLSP
Hibernian vs Shkendija
Hibernian may have lost their opening match of the Scottish Premiership season against Motherwell at the weekend, but David Gray’s side will be favourites to immediately bounce back with a win in their Conference League third qualifying round first leg against Shkendija.
Hibs demonstrated their quality at home with a 4-1 home win in the second qualifying round, while the visitors lost their last away fixture 2-1, although they did turn the game around in the second leg.
Given Hibernian’s impressive home form and Shkendija’s struggles on the road, we are backing the hosts to win here.
Hibernian to win, 1.42 – 5M3BDL6
