Real Madrid v Bayern Munich Tip - Back an end-to-end stalemate

A blockbuster of a tie here and the most played fixture in European club competition sees 15-time European champions Real Madrid rare 19/102.90 home underdogs in a competition they've dominated, as six-time winners Bayern Munich are fancied as 23/202.15 favourites.

Bayern are also big 40/851.47 favourites to qualify for the semis with Real Madrid 13/82.63 - but you count the Spanish giants out at your peril.

Real lost at the weekend but Alvaro Arbeloa has them motoring in the Champions League after demolishing Man City. Harry Kane is set to play but just how fit he is will worry Bayern - who won at PSG but lost at Arsenal in their two biggest UCL tests so far.

Everything about this game screams goals - Bayern have averaged over three goals a game in this season's competition, while eight of their last nine away games saw both teams score. Real haven't failed to score at home in the Champions League since December 2018.

Bayern look the better side, but with the Kane doubt and Real being at home I've got this one down for an entertaining draw.


Back 6/17.00 Real Bet Builer on Betfair offer

Let's take advantage of the Betfair Bet £10 Get £10 offer while it's still going shall we, with a Real Madrid Bet Builder suggestion for the Bernabeu obviously starting with the returning Kylian Mbappe, who averages a goal every 56 minutes in the UCL this season.

Add to that the in-form Federico Valverde at a lovely 1/12.00 for 1+ shot on target, which he's done in the last five outings for Real (scoring in four!) and the old faithful of Vinicius Jr to be fouled 3+ times, which has landed in three of his last four at home.


Sporting v Arsenal Tip - Back Gunners to grab first-leg lead

This trip to Lisbon seems a bit tougher for Arsenal now than it did a few weeks ago, but they're still 3/41.75 favourites to win at the Estadio Jose Alvalade despite those two disappointing defeats in a row to Man City and Southampton. 

Sporting's only defeat in 16 was the 3-0 reverse at Bodo-Glimt that they managed to turn around to maintain their 100% home record in the Champions League this season. They're 18/54.60 to make it six wins from six home UCL games.

The Gunners are still Premier League and Champions League favourites and this draw is still the best they could possibly wish for so they really should be strong enough, it's just whether they navigate this leg, as they've conceded in six of seven aways while Sporting have scored 16 home goals in the competition so far.

I can actually see another score draw here at 7/24.50 but Arsenal should have their big guns back that missed Southampton, a game which should just sharpen their focus so I expect them to pinch a lead to take back to the Emirates, likely with in-form Viktor Gyokeres scoring against his former side.

Player props wise I like the look of Luis Suarez at 7/52.40 for 2+ shots on target, which he's managed in four of five UCL home games this season for Sporting, but it could come in a losing effort.
