Arsene Wenger's men have been backed at a high of [27.0] to win the competition and are currently the [7.2] third favourites ahead of Wednesday night's fixtures.

In Barcelona, under 1.5 goals was matched at 22 after the home side opened the scoring against massive underdogs Celtic in the fourth minute. But the Spaniards could not add to that Xavi opener to deny backers of two or more goals in the match at [1.06].

Goals were also expected at Old Trafford where Manchester United faced Lyon, but the match failed to live up to expectations and finished 1-0. Under 1.5 goals was backed at [5.1].

Ronaldo to score first and the final scoreline of 1-0 was matched at [24.0].
