UEFA Champions League action is set to take centre stage this afternoon. The curtain will be raised by Austrian side RB Salzburg will welcome newcomers Brest who qualified by finishing third in the French Ligue 1 last season.
Here are five bankers that Punters can take advantage of on Tuesday’s round of fixtures.
Arsenal vs PSG – Arsenal to win & over 2.5 at 15/10
The Gunners had a rocky start to their Champions League campaign having been held to a goalless draw by Italian Serie A side Atalanta in their opening match. They look to have rediscovered their scoring boots having netted eleven goals in three matches.
David Raya has been impressive in goals while the frontline has been scoring for fun.
Paris Saint-Germain on the other hand scrapped an important 1-0 win against Girona in their opening match. They have a long-standing unbeaten run that has stretched to over seven matches.
The League 1 champions will be without Goncalo Ramos, Lucas Hernandez and Presnel Kimpembe who are side-lined due to injuries while Ousmane Dembele has been left out of the squad due to personal issues.
Both sides have been showcasing their goalscoring prowess, this clash will be without a doubt blessed with goals. Arsenal are odds on favourites to win. Bet on Arsenal to win & over 1.5 at 15/10.
Bayer Leverkusen vs AC Milan – Over 2.5 & Yes at 8/10
The German Bundesliga champions made quick work of Feyenoord dispatching them 4-0 to kickstart their interclub campaign, Florian Wirtz had an impressive showing scoring a first-half brace to hand his side an advantage.
Xabi Alonso’s side managed to hold their rivals Bayern Munich to a 1-1 draw on Saturday and another tough opponent in the form of Milan awaits them this evening.
Milan recorded resounding back-to-back victories against Inter Milan and Lecce following their 3-1 loss against Liverpool which saw them becoming one of the fifteen teams that began their UCL campaigns with a defeat.
Paulo Fonseca’s side are regulars in this competition and their experience will be crucial in their bid to overcome Bayer in a hostile environment that is expected to be filled with home fans.
Both sides are enjoying a good run of form and there is no obvious winner, despite Bayer enjoying a home-ground advantage, Milan’s experience in the competition will be crucial for them and they will be aiming to avoid a second straight loss in the competition.
A safe bet is Over 2.5 & Yes at 8/10.
Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic – Dortmund to win & over 1.5 at 13/20
Dortmund will be looking to spoil Celtic’s winning streak that has stretched to over ten matches in all competitions. The 5-1 loss against Stuttgart served as a wake-up call for Dortmund as they returned to winning ways with a resounding 4-2 win. On-form Serhou Guirassy has netted four goals in the last three matches and is expected to trouble the Celtic defence.
The Scottish Premiership champions showed class when they thrashed Slovan 5-1 in their first UCL match, they followed that up with a 5-2 win against Falkirk in the Scottish League Cup and then eased past St. Johnstone 6-0 to tighten their grip at the helm of the Scottish Premiership standings.
Dortmund has a stronger squad and they will have their home fans rallying behind them putting Celtic at a greater disadvantage. Back Dortmund to win & over 1.5 at 13/20.
RB Salzburg vs Brest – Salzburg to win at 9/10
Newcomers Brest had a good start to their campaign edging Sturm 2-1 in their opener, they will be aiming to stay on the winning lane at the expense of Salzburg. They face a tough task as this will be their first away match in the competition.
Salzburg received a 3-0 hammering during their visit to Sparta Praha and will be looking to turn things around in their first home game of the competition. Pepijn Lijnders is desperate to turn the tide with his youthful squad.
Brest showed vulnerability at the back on Friday when they were defeated by Auxerre 3-0 in a league match. Salzburg are a much more clinical side and will surely punish them if they make the same mistakes. Bet on the home team to win at 9/10
Slovan Bratislava vs Manchester City – Over 2.5 & No at 1/1
Despite enjoying a good run when playing on home soil, this is expected to be a one-sided affair given the big difference in the quality of players that both teams possess. Slogan received an unfriendly welcome in the continental showdown when they visited Celtic and were baptized 5-1.
The English Premier League champions will be looking to make amends following their goalless draw at home against Inter and that was followed by another draw against Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola is desperate to get back to winning ways to top last year’s performance where his side was eliminated in the quarterfinal after losing 4-3 to Real Madrid on penalties.
There is no value in betting for Manchester City to win. We tip Punters to put their money on Over 2.5 & No at 1/1.
