Despite Legia's status as favorites, the final round could unfold in a more open fashion. The hosts are expected to attack relentlessly and will almost certainly find the net, but their aggressive approach could leave gaps at the back—opportunities that Lincoln Red Imps are capable of exploiting.
The Gibraltar side rarely sits deep for the entire match, instead banking on quick counterattacks and set pieces. With a spot in the next round at stake, the visitors will be forced to take more risks, raising their chances of scoring.
Given the potential squad rotation for Legia and the motivation on both sides to end their European campaigns on a high-scoring note, the bet on both teams to score — yes looks justified.
