UEFA Champions League action will be on display this Tuesday and Wednesday with the biggest football clubs in Europe fighting it out to be crowned as the new kings of Europe.
Below, we analyze the best bets to place from 3 of the matches scheduled for Wednesday night.
Bayern Leverkusen-Lokomotiv Moscow
Leverkusen was thrashed 4-0 by Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga over the weekend. Defensively, the Germans are a shambles and have only kept one clean sheet in their last 5 matches.
Lokomotiv Moscow, on the other hand, has scored at least once in their past five matches. The Russian side is currently 5th on the Russian top-flight table.
TIP: Both teams to score @2.05
Shakhtar-Manchester City
Manchester City will come to this match on the back of a disappointing 3-2 loss to newly-promoted Norwich City in the English Premier League. Pep Guardiola’s team has been dealt a huge blow with the news that top defender Aymeric Laporte is out or upto 6 months with a knee injury.
Shakhtar, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their last 5 matches and have scored in each of them. They will pose a serious threat to Manchester City’s backline that contains the error-prone Nicholas Otamendi.
TIP: Both teams to score @1.88
Paris Saint Germain-Real Madrid
The highlight of the matchday will see record European Champions Real Madrid come up against the moneybags from France, PSG. Brazil star Neymar will miss the match due to suspension which means Kylian Mbappe will be PSG’s main man.
Real Madrid is yet to fully convince under Zinedine Zidane this season but has not lost a match yet. The Spanish giants are however still waiting for the first clean sheet of the season.
TIP: over 2.5 goals @1.57
