[England Championship]
Cardiff City-West Ham Both Teams to Score [-114]
Cardiff City is chasing here after surrendering two goals at home in the 1st leg of this Championship Playoff clash. Trailing 0-2, Cardiff knows they must score to have any shot of leveling the playing field today and advancing. Obviously, this could be an absolute bore since West Ham can simply play to not concede. Still, in their last eleven home matches West Ham have only kept two clean sheets. The Hammers have only been kept off the score sheet three times in 23 home matches this season. Cardiff City meanwhile will at least fancy their chances to make things interesting as they have tallied road goals in eight of their last nine, including multiple goals in four of their last six. Certainly West Ham will be somewhat careful to not give Cardiff too much life here, but I do expect they will pounce on the counter attack when the opportunity presents itself and with Cardiff forced to push forward - that should present itself several times. I think the key to both teams scoring is an early goal by either squad. I don't think West Ham will pack it in tighter if they concede early, I actually think they would respond by going hard to get another goal to enhance their aggregate lead.

Netherlands-Belgium Over 2.5 [-140]
The Dutch side remain a very solid scoring squad as they started the Group Stage with a 3-1 win over Slovenia. The Dutch had also scored multiple goals in two of their three qualifying matches in March. They have conceded in three of their last four in this competition. Belgium meanwhile will be looking to get back on track after dropping their opener, 1-0 to Poland. Their coach says his squad blew at least 4-5 quality scoring chances in that match. The Belgians had been a powerful scoring side in the qualifying stages with eight goals in three matches, so they will expect to get back towards that today. With two dangerous scoring sides here, there should be goals if they can both find that finishing touch.
