Tuesday's Champions League tips include backing Barcelona backed against Atletico and 7/2 Liverpool draw at Anfield

Paul Higham has Tuesday's Champions League tips where he's backing a 9/52.80 Barcelona win at Atletico and PSG to get a 7/24.50 score draw at Anfield, along with a 6/17.00 Bet Builder in the big Spanish derby at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Atletico Madrid are only 11/43.75 to win this second leg but after a perfect night at the Nou Camp they don't need to, so while Barcelona are 4/51.80 match favourites they've got to somehow overturn that two-goal deficit. That was their only loss in 11 and down to an early red card so I'd expect them to be able to win this one, but going through is another story.

Atletico have lost four in five though, including a 2-1 defeat by Barca at the Metropolitano when the hosts had a man sent off, but they have some fearsome stats behind them - they've not lost a Champions League knockout game at home since 1997 - that's 21 games (W14 D7) - and they've qualified every time they've won the first leg away (out of 22 games).

A draw has to be respected at 7/24.50 but this isn't the usual old Atletico who will play spoilers for a 0-0, as their defence isn't up to it these days, but they have got a goal threat with Julian Alvarez in particular and Alexander Sorloth.

Barca have conceded in their last 14 UCL games while Atleti have scored at least twice in five of six European home games, and I've a feeling this game could be an explosive affair, and one which I fancy Barca to win, but I can't see them going through.


Back bonus 6/17.00 Bet Builder

I couldn't resist a Bet Builder in this one, starting with Atletico goalkeeper Juan Musso to make 6+ saves, as he's done three times in four games against Barca, and they'll be facing a barrage again.

Lamine Yamal to be fouled 3+ times is a must-have here for any Bet Builders on this game, while Julian Alvarez should really be backed to score, but for Bet Builder purposes a shot on target is still a decent enough price to pump up our odds.

 

Liverpool v PSG Tip - Champions to hold Reds at Anfield

Liverpool were vastly improved against Fulham, they couldn't be any worse than that first leg in Paris, but this is PSG visiting Anfield now and if Arne Slot wants to harness that power of the home fans he'll have to go for broke from the start to have any hope of qualifying at 5/16.00. 

The Reds could produce a season's best performance powered by Anfield to win the leg at 29/202.45 but even that's a tough ask as 6/42.50 PSG are well in their stride now this season and have controversially been given the weekend off by the French league to prepare for this.

PSG have won five in a row and Luis Enrique's side have won six of seven on the road, and with such pace on the counter it really is a nightmare scenario for Liverpool - sit back and the European champions wll play possession football, go gung-ho and they run the risk of being hit on the break and the tie being over.

We should get goals - Liverpool showed at the weekend what they can do when on the attack but I don't think they can score enough to overturn the deficit, and at some stage PSG will surely score and ultimately I think they'll then be happy enough with a draw. PSG's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has now scored in four consecutive UCL outings and should be your go-to anytime scorer at 7/42.75
