SKN St.Polten W vs Barcelona W Betting Tips: Barcelona to Win / Over 3.5
Barcelona will be confident of claiming another high-scoring Champions League victory when they head to Austria this week after a commanding 7:0 win in last week's reverse fixture in Catalonia.
Having begun their UCL campaign with a 2:0 defeat against Man City, La Blaugrana have responded in style with 16 goals scored in wins against Hammarby (9:0) and their opponents on Thursday.
Free-flowing in attack, the in-form Spaniards have won each of their last seven matches across all competitions with an impressive tally of 38 goals scored. That's an average of over five goals per game!
Away from home, Barcelona have won seven of their last nine UCL games played since 2022 and another successful road trip is expected this week.
Hosts St. Polten comes into Thursday's contest still searching for their first UCL points. The Austrians slipped to a 2:0 defeat against Hammarby, and a 3:2 home loss against Man City before their thumping 7:0 setback in Catalonia last week.
With that defeat still fresh in the mind, the Austrian hosts could struggle to contain their on-form opponents on Thursday.
In the end, another high-scoring win seems likely, so I'm putting my money on Barcelona to win with a minimum of four goals scored in Vienna.
