This may look like a high line for quite low odds, but it’s one that Barcelona cover regularly having avoided defeat in each of their last 41 matches.

There’s a real power imbalance in the women’s game with there being a massive gap between the likes of Barcelona and the other sides in Europe. They’ve scored 3+ goals in all four of their games since the end of August, actually managing to score 4+ goals in all of these matches.

Paris FC W are emerging as a force in the women’s game after finishing second to Lyon W in the French top flight last season. However, there is still a gap between them and the elite sides in Europe, as shown by the 7-1 defeat they suffered to Lyon a few weeks ago.

Roma W enter this game in a strong vein of form having avoided defeat in each of their last 15 matches, including winning each of the last six.

They played OH Leuven W in the Women’s Champions League last year, claiming a point on the road - which was only earned by the home side via the penalty spot. 

Roma W dominated the underlying numbers, having more shots and shots on target than their opponents. 

OH Leuven W are the strongest side out of Belgium in the women’s game, but tend to struggle against the established sides on the continent. 

They failed to beat Arsenal, PSG and Roma in European games last year, and Roma W should have enough quality to get their Champions League campaign off to a winning start. 

This is an, understandable, shorter price to start off the treble, with Birmingham Legion being the best side in the league for BTTS Yes.

Both sides have scored in 17 of their 24 league games (71%) and they have kept just four clean sheets so far, that’s one every six games on average.

Brooklyn have scored in seven of 12 away games, but should fancy their chances of breaching the joint-4th worst defence in the league.

Despite regularly getting on the scoresheet, Birmingham Legion have won only three league games this season, so Brooklyn should be able to impose themselves in periods despite sitting two points and three places behind Birmingham in the table.

Saudi Arabia host Kuwait to kick off their Gulf Cup qualifying campaign.

The Saudis were one of the weaker teams at the World Cup, despite picking up two points, scoring just once and failing to really lay a glove on Cape Verde when progression was on the line.

They’ve conceded in five of eight games this calendar year, beginning the year with a 4-0 loss at home to Egypt.

Kuwait aren’t as competent as them, but they’ve scored in their last seven coming into this and that includes a 1-1 draw against Egypt.

BTTS has landed in eight of 12 Cienciano away games so far this season (67%), in seven of those games it has come in during the first half.

The most recent head-to-head finished 3-2 to Cienciano in April, and BTTS won in the seventh minute of the game.

Asociacion Deportiva Tarma have conceded two or more goals in each of their last four games and are yet to win in the league this season.

Cienciano are yet to keep a clean sheet from 12 league away games this season, and they have conceded two or more goals in four of their last five.

Caroline Hansen has started the season really well again for Barcelona, scoring three goals across her four appearances as well as registering five assists.

She’s an experienced forward who has recorded double digits for goals in each of her seven seasons at club, often also pitching in with double digits for assists as well.

This price may seem short to back a goalscorer, but Barcelona could easily score five or six here. It’s a real mismatch as Barcelona have avoided defeat in their last 41 matches, scoring at least three goals in over 70% of these matches.

Barcelona are easily the best side in the women’s game and should come away convincing winners here with Graham Hansen a good option to find the back of the net - as she did four times during Barcelona’s campaign in the Women’s Champions League last season.

Norway enjoyed a really strong World Cup campaign over the summer, reaching the quarter finals and beating the likes of Senegal, Ivory Coast and Brazil with Haaland having a particularly strong campaign.

Norway failed to keep a clean sheet during the World Cup despite their success overall, which is something that Denmark will be aware of and be able to punish with the attacking talent they have in their squad. These nations haven’t met since 2024, but BTTS did land on that occasion as Denmark emerged as 3-1 winners.

Norway scored more goals than any other nation during qualifying (37 - 4.6 per game) and with players like Erling Haaland, it’s very likely that they find the back of the net. Denmark were unlucky to miss out on the World Cup, they scored 16 goals during their qualifying campaign (2.66 per game).

This is a meeting between two huge nations with new managers at the helm, and I’m expecting goals.

We know that Jurgen Klopp wants his sides to play with plenty of intensity in that ‘heavy metal’ style of football which worked so well for the new Germany boss during his time at Liverpool.

Germany saw BTTS in all four of their games at the World Cup in what proved to be a disappointing campaign, with Julian Naglesmann’s side crashing out to Paraguay in the Round of 32 on penalties.

Netherlands have finally parted ways with Ronald Koeman and now have Xavi as head coach, who is another manager that will set up his side to be quite offensive and has the talent to cause Germany issues.

Netherlands also saw BTTS in all four of their games in the World Cup, crashing out to Morocco on penalties at the same stage where Germany exited the tournament.

It’s a new era for Portugal with Jorge Jesus set to take charge of his first game as the national team boss, taking over from Roberto Martinez who was ultimately unsuccessful in his role with Portugal falling flat at the World Cup.

The main frustration with Martinez was that this squad has more than enough quality to be one of the serious contenders in major tournaments, but they have rarely threatened a run like that over the last few years under Martinez’s guidance - but did win the Nations League a few years ago.

Wales are progressing well under Craig Bellamy, but a win against one of the more elite sides on the continent has eluded them. They failed to win any of their three friendly matches over the summer against Romania, Ghana and Northern Ireland - making this task look very difficult on paper.

Greece could be on the cusp of a golden generation with a variety of talented players, particularly forwards, coming through at the same time.

Greece didn’t feature at the World Cup over the summer despite this influx of talent, but I expect them to feature at the next few international tournaments as these players mature and get experience at some of the top clubs in Europe.

Greece scored 10 goals across their six games during qualifying, also conceding 12 goals across these matches. Serbia have conceded in each of their last nine games, last keeping a clean sheet against Latvia all the way back in September 2025.

Lauren James has started the season really well, scoring twice in the WSL as well as netting in Chelsea’s qualifying tie against Real Sociedad.

James has had more shots than any other Chelsea W player so far, taking a remarkable 19 shots across just two starts in the WSL (10.6 per 90), seeing five of these efforts find the target (2.80 per 90).

Chelsea are heavy favourites to win here and I would expect them to score at least three goals at home against an Austria Wien side who are not familiar with this level and lack the quality of Chelsea.

Claudia Pina is playing to a ridiculous standard again this season having registered eight goal contributions across just four appearances in Liga F this term.

Pina has scored 24+ goals in each of the last two seasons for Barcelona W , making her one of the best finishers in the women’s game. She’s taken 16 shots across her three starts this season (5.05 per 90), seeing eight of these efforts find the target (2.53 per 90).

Pina registered five goal contributions across seven starts in the Champions League for Barcelona W last season, averaging 4.32 shots per 90 and 1.70 shots on target per 90. Barcelona should dominate this game, they’ve avoided defeat in each of their last 41 matches - stretching all the way back to November 2025. 

Ronaldo is still expected to lead the line for Portugal during this Nations League campaign and will be eager to reach the 150 international goal mark, which he is four goals away from. 

Ronaldo has scored three goals across five starts for Al Nassr in the early stages of the season, taking 19 shots across these matches (4.04 per 90), seeing 10 of these efforts find the target (2.13 per 90) - an impressive shot accuracy of over 50%.

Ronaldo scored five goals across five starts during Portugal’s World Cup qualifying campaign, notably averaging 7.44 shots per 90 and 2.88 shots on target per 90. 

He may be past his best, but he’s determined to be a part of the national side and I can see him having chances in front of goal as Portugal’s main vocal point with the 41-year-old still boasting a really healthy shot average. 

Harry Wilson is still trying to find a way into the starting lineup for Leeds, but he almost always delivers for his country.

Wilson enjoyed his strongest ever personal season last year as he registered 19 goal contributions across all competitions, with 17 of these coming in the Premier League.

He’s remarkably consistent when lining up for his country, scoring 17 goals across his 69 caps which is a really solid record at international level. 

Wilson scored five goals across six starts for Wales during their World Cup qualifying campaign, taking 17 shots across these games (2.76 per 90) and seeing seven of these efforts find the target (1.14 per 90).

Wales have been really bold so far under Craig Bellamy, and I don’t expect that approach to change here against a Portugal side who are entering a new era under Jorge Jesus.

Portugal could easily cover this line on their own, there’s been a recent trend with this national side that they look really convincing outside of the major tournaments but then struggle under the pressure of those environments.

Portugal saw 27 goals across their six matches during qualifying (4.5 per game), seeing 2+ goals in five of their six matches with the exception of a 1-0 win over Ireland where they recorded an xG of 2.97.

Wales have seen 2+ goals in each of their last five matches under Craig Bellamy. As mentioned above, they won’t come here and just accept sitting deep - Bellamy wants them to be aggressive and on the front foot, setting the stage for an entertaining game.

Ethan Ampadu is such an important player for this Wales side and has established himself as a Premier League regular for Leeds, committing four fouls across his five starts this season.

He committed eight fouls across five starts during Wales’ World Cup qualifying campaign (1.59 per 90) and will have a very difficult task here in trying to contain Portugal’s midfield, composed of some of the most talented players in Europe.

Ampadu averaged 1.44 fouls committed per 90 for Leeds in the Premier League last season, also collecting 10 yellow cards across his 35 matches - more than any other Leeds player. 

This is a meeting between two huge nations with new managers at the helm, and I’m expecting goals.

We know that Jurgen Klopp wants his sides to play with plenty of intensity in that ‘heavy metal’ style of football which worked so well for the new Germany boss during his time at Liverpool.

Germany saw BTTS in all four of their games at the World Cup in what proved to be a disappointing campaign, with Julian Naglesmann’s side crashing out to Paraguay in the Round of 32 on penalties.

Netherlands have finally parted ways with Ronald Koeman and now have Xavi as head coach, who is another manager that will set up his side to be quite offensive and has the talent to cause Germany issues.

Netherlands also saw BTTS in all four of their games in the World Cup, crashing out to Morocco on penalties at the same stage where Germany exited the tournament.

Cody Gakpo has started the season really well after a summer of transfer speculation in which he was linked with a move away from Liverpool, with the likes of Tottenham and Manchester City showing interest.

Gakpo seems to improve even further when playing for his national side, he’s netted 24 goals across 54 caps which is a very solid record at international level and he should have opportunities to offer a threat in front of goal in this clash.

Gakpo has taken 10 shots across his four starts in the Premier League this season (2.43 per 90), with one of these efforts finding the back of the net. He scored three goals across four starts during the World Cup, averaging 2.43 shots per 90 and 1.46 shots on target per 90.

Gakpo was also a threat in front of goal during Netherlands’ World Cup qualifying campaign, scoring four goals across eight starts and averaging 1.10 shots on target per 90.

Kai Havertz led the line quite well for Germany during the World Cup, scoring three goals across his four starts from 12 shots (3.04 per 90).

Seven of these efforts found the target (1.77 per 90), with Havertz also making a decent start to this season domestically having scored three goals in his seven appearances across all competitions.

Havertz didn’t feature often during Germany’s World Cup qualifying campaign due to injury, but was effective the last time that Germany competed in the Nations League - scoring two goals across three starts and averaging 1.81 shots on target per 90 across these matches. 

Felix Nmecha was shooting for fun during the World Cup, taking eight shots across his four starts for Germany (2.65 per 90).

Five of these efforts came from outside of the box, showing how Nmecha isn’t afraid to take on more speculative efforts which is a good sign for the angle we’re taking here.

Nmecha has already scored two goals for Dortmund in the Bundesliga this season, taking six shots across his three starts (2.31 per 90). He only played 81 minutes for Germany during qualifying, but did manage three shots during this action.

Germany lack clinical players in forward areas, so their goals tend to be spread throughout the side and Nmecha is someone who can step up in this role having made a strong start to the season in front of goal.
