"Torino have hit the back of the net in 10/13 away games across all competitions"

Back 'Yes' in Both Teams to Score? @ 2.111/10 in Athletic Bilbao v Torino

Tobias Gourlay thinks Athletic Bilbao's Europa League second leg with Torino could be another ding-dong battle

Athletic Bilbao v Torino
Thursday 20:05
(Live on BT Sport 2)

Rubio Nu 5 Deportivo Capiata 1 over in Paraguay last night. And we're hoping to leave another bloodied carcass out on the plains of Spain this evening.

Torino have the crossed the border from Italy for the second leg of a Europa League Last 32 tie that's nicely poised at 2-2.

Since late September last year, when they drew a Europa League group match 0-0 in Belgium, Torino have hit the back of the net in 10/13 away games across all competitions. There were goals at both ends in 9/13 and the same fraction ended up going Over 2.5 Goals.

The most recent four of those outings have brought a total of eight goals for the Bull alone, who are unbeaten in their last seven away matches.

Athletic Bilbao have been less impressive recently, but that needn't be a bad thing for us. A 1-0 win in La Liga at the weekend brought their first clean sheet in seven league outings at San Mames. They've scored themselves in 8/9 there, however.

Torino +0.5 is a tempting bet on the Asian Handicap but, at a slightly longer price, both teams to score just edges it as our bet of the day.
