What Is the Best Benfica vs Celtic Bet Builder?

Alexander Bah 1+ Shot on Target, Clément Lenglet 2+ Foul Committed, Both Teams to Score, Over 2.5 Goals and Fredrik Aursnes 1+ Foul Committed, around 35/1 to 41/1 combined.

Every leg is one the player has done in most of his recent matches, and every one is a line bet365 list, so the whole thing goes on as a single bet builder. Two of these are match markets rather than player props, and in one game those move with each other, so bet365 will price the pair shorter than multiplying them suggests.

Alexander Bah has had a shot on target in 4 of his last 9 matches at 0.77 per 90, and Benfica take 12.55 shots a game — 44% on our numbers against an implied 33%.

Clément Lenglet has committed 2 or more fouls in 5 of his last 7 matches at 1.57 per 90, and Celtic hold 60.67% of the ball — 71% on our numbers against an implied 38%.

Both Teams to Score. Benfica win 6.7 corners a game and Celtic 7.83, which makes this about 69% on our numbers against the 52% its price implies. Corners are a separate market from the player legs, so this one multiplies into the builder cleanly.

Over 2.5 Goals. Benfica win 6.7 corners a game and Celtic 7.83, which makes this about 77% on our numbers against the 69% its price implies. Corners are a separate market from the player legs, so this one multiplies into the builder cleanly.

Fredrik Aursnes has committed a foul in 6 of his last 10 matches at 1.21 per 90, and Celtic hold 60.67% of the ball — 60% on our numbers against an implied 56%.

If that is longer than you want, the betting tips below run from 1/10 to 2/1 and any of them swaps straight in. Legs in the same match are not independent — a fouls-drawn leg and a fouls-committed leg both get easier in a scrappy game — so treat the combined price as indicative, and bet365’s own builder will differ slightly.
