Borac Banja Luka against Víkingur Reykjavík — I see the hosts taking care of business at home. They have the quality to win by a clear margin, and the odds of 2.68 on a -1 handicap look too good to pass up. I’m backing Borac to cover that spread comfortably.

Chelsea will handle Luton Town without any trouble in this EFL Cup match. The gap in class between these two sides is enormous, so I expect the Blues to win by at least three goals. The handicap of -2.5 at 1.98 looks like the right call here.

Chelsea should have no trouble covering a -2.5 handicap here. Luton Town look far too fragile to keep this competitive, and against this level of opposition they’re likely to be overwhelmed. I expect the hosts to win comfortably and by a wide margin.

OFI hold a 3-0 aggregate lead in this Europa League tie, so they’ll naturally park the bus and defend. CSKA Sofia are missing four players and face a tough task breaking through. That’s exactly why I see the +1.5 handicap on the Greek side at 1.63 as clear va…
