  • UEFA Champions League | Matchday 2 Goalscorer Treble

    UEFA Champions League | Matchday 2 Goalscorer Treble

    As the international break looms on the horizon, before the final round of league games takes place this weekend, first, UEFA Champions League Matchday 2 rolls into view.

    With the jury out after the first round of the new era in the European Cup, the midweek plucks out a number of blockbuster ties, including Arsenal hosting PSG and a home baptism of fire for Aston Villa against Bayern Munich.

    And so once again BestofBets looks to three names from the hat to form another goalscorer treble, in Matchday 2 @ 18/1 with BetUK.

     

    Deniz Undav

    Matchday 2 is a Bundesliga-based triple, starting with VfB Stuttgart and talisman, Deniz Undav.

    With Sehrou Guirassy having departed for Borussia Dortmund, Undav has been handed the reins as first-choice number 9 and the German international has grabbed his opportunity with both hands.

    Scoring in his last four outings, Undav netted a last-gasp leveller at Wolfsburg at the weekend, also grabbing a brace in Stuttgart’s 5-1 dismantling of Dortmund.

    On the scoresheet at the Bernabeu in Matchday 1, Undav is proving a man for all occasions, which we are confident can continue against Sparta Prague in Matchday 2.

     

    Victor Boniface

    Next up, we move from Baden-Wurttemburg to North Rhine-Westphalia, as Bayer Levekusen host AC Milan.

    Fresh off a draw on the road to Bayern Munich on Saturday, Xabi Alonso’s men will be confident of hitting their goal-scoring straps again in the form of Victor Boniface.

    As the Nigerian battles for a starting berth with Patrik Schick, Boniface has two league goals in the his last three outings.

    Whilst far from prolific, Leverkusen have been, and in seven games in all comps have put three on the board, three of which saw a tally of four goals.

    Milan provide a tricky opposition after their recent derby win over Inter, but having themselves shipped a triple at San Siro versus Liverpool last time out, Boniface should be feeling confident of opening his European season account.

     

    Benjamin Sesko

    We finish up Matchday 2’s treble in Saxony, with one of the hottest young properties in world football, Benjamin Sesko.

    RB Leipzig have a formidable front two in the Slovenias and Lois Openda, but it is Sesko who is impressing more this term.

    Despite a team blank in their last two Bundesliga games, Sesko was on the mark at Civitas Metropolitano at Atletico Madrid in Matchday 1, and before then, netted a double in a 4-0 win over Augsburg.

    Providing both assists in Leipzig’s surprise away win against the champions Leverkusen, Sesko is turning on the style in all departments.

    Juventus are the visitors in midweek – a side who have been extremely frugal in conceding goals under new boss Thiago Motta – but Sesko’s penalty duties swing the argument for his spot in the treble.

    Euro 2024 | BestofBets Matchday 2 111/1 Goalscorer Treble

    By now, all 24 teams at Euro 2024 have offered their opening efforts, so what of Matchday 2 to come?

    As the stakes rise this week, the dominoes begin to fall into place and after a 1/3 success in Matchday 1’s punt, can we go better this week?

    Here at BestofBets, we’re lining up a Goalscorer Treble, with three separate anytime scorers backed individually and as an acca.

    Lets dive in.

    Germany vs Hungary – Barnabas Varga – 9/2 (BoyleSports)

    First up, it’s yet another European border derby as Germany and Hungary meet for the 9th time in their collective histories.

    The hosts demolished Scotland on opening day, whilst the Mighty Magyars were a tad stale against a fluid Swiss side. Here they must respond.

    And in Barnabas Varga, Marco Rossi’s men can.

    Netting against the Swiss on Saturday, the Ferencvarosi forward has scored in back-to-back appearances for the national side and looks likely to stay on the pitch for the duration.

    The consensus is the real Hungary only showed up for 45 minutes last weekend, and Germany will find Hungary a sterner test than the limp Scots.

    Varga will be central to that.

     

    Slovakia vs Ukraine – Robert Bozenik – 5/1 (Unibet)

    Next, we look to a melting pot of a Group E for two picks, starting with Robert Bozenik as Slovakia face the Ukraine back line.

    Providing the initial shot saved by Koen Casteels against Belgium, Ivan Schranz snapped up the rebound to convert the decisive goal in Frankfurt.

    Slovakia would have looked at this game as the pivotal fixture in the pool, but now with three points on the board, Francesco Calzona can see his side progress here.

    The Ukrainian defence were shoddy at best last time out, and can expected to be tested again here.

    Bozenik will be hunting to open his Euro account on Friday and having proved a handful for the Belgians, the Boavista striker can all but send the Ukrainians packing.

     

    Romania vs Belgium – Denis Dragus – 4/1 (10Bet)

    Wrapping up Matchday 2, and sticking with Group E, Belgium are staring down the barrel as they face Romania in Cologne.

    By far the biggest casualty of Matchday 1, Domenico Tedesco’s men fell to Slovakia after Romelu Lukaku’s tour-de-force in profligacy.

    As a result, the Red Devils face a must-win game versus a Romania side who impressed in dismantling Ukraine.

    Belgium will surely have to come out with all guns blazing, but that could play into Romanian hands, with the Belgian defence looking shaky.

    The last of three men to net in Matchday 1, Denis Dragus put in a shift to begin the tournament and was rewarded with a tap-in from Dennis Man’s cut-back.

    The nippy, diminutive striker, has been in solid form for Gaziantep in Turkey and looks a threat here.

    The same price as he was to net versus Ukraine, we have seen his ability to lead the line, and with Belgium having serious questions to answer, Dragus can add to his tally.

    Romania have often been blessed with talented players but cursed with the inability to gel; on Sunday, we finally saw it all come together. Can Romania roll on?

     

    Goalscorer Treble in total 111/1 with 10Bet.
