Champions League Preview & Tips – Match Day 2

Tonight sees defending champions Real Madrid take the trip to Germany as they face Borussia Dortmund. The Spanish team left it late until the 89th and 94th minute to secure a win against Sporting Lisbon in their opening Group F fixture earlier this month, they’ll need to improve their performance in Tuesday evenings game should they wish for a similar result as Dortmund secured their win with 6 to nil against Polish team Legia Warsaw. As such, the home team are favourites to take the win at 27/20 whilst Madrid are at the slightly higher price of 2/1 both with bet365. But guess what price is overvalued. It is the draw at 14/5 (3.80).

Meanwhile Leicester City play host to Porto for the first time in their Champions League campaign having successfully beaten Club Brugge in Belgium (0-3) in their opening fixture earlier this month. Good news for the English team as keeper Kasper Schmeichel is set to make a return after missing the teams last 3 games following their win against Club Brugge so Porto could struggle to secure the win they so desperately need after drawing 1-1 with København in their opening game. Leicester is priced at 13/10 – for an away win or draw both are 12/5 with bet365. Our choice however goes to Both Teams To Score (GG elsewhere) at 4/5 (1.80).

Tottenham make the trip to Russia as they face CSKA Moscow in a bid to secure the win they so desperately need in order to avoid facing a battle to progress from the group stages of the Champions League. The English side faced a 2-1 defeat at home to Monaco earlier this month which has left them bottom of the Group E standings, despite their not so favourable start to the campaign Tottenham are priced as favourites to take the win at 29/20 with bet365. It will not be easy though. This could also be a draw at 12/5 (3.40).

Wednesday sees Arsenal host to FC Basel. The Gunners, since their 4-3 defeat against Liverpool in their opening Premier League campaign, have remained unbeaten securing a 1-1 draw against PSG in their Champions League opener. In their past 3 fixtures Arsenal have scored a total of 11 goals making over 2.5 goals likely in this fixture, currently priced at 8/15 with bet365. As a result a home win is most likely here at 4/11 however, Basel have been known to pull out shock performances against English teams in the past therefore if you fancy something with a higher return an away win at 8/1 could be the one.

Five months after their semi-final clash in last season’s Champions League Bayern return to face Atletico after the Spanish team secured their place in the final on away goals. Atletico secured a vital win against PSV Eindhoven, a team they failed to defeat over two legs last season meanwhile Bayern secured a 5 to nil win against Russian team FC Rostov. An away win could be most likely at 31/20 though a Madrid win wouldn’t be completely off the cards and is 21/10 with bet365.

Man City make the trip to Glasgow in a bid to continue their Champions League success as they face Celtic. City’s opening campaign saw them secure a 4-0 win over German team Mönchengladbach putting them second in the group standings to Barcelona who currently host 1st position on goal difference as they defeated Celtic in a 7-0 win. Whilst Celtic will be keen to claw back some credibility it’s unlikely they’ll find this in Man City, an away win is most likely at 1/3 and over 2.5 goals is 19/40 again both with bet365.
