RB Salzburg v Chelsea: Back Blues for all-important win

RB Salzburg 5.04/1 v Chelsea 1.794/5, the Draw 4.03/1

Mark O'Haire says: "Group E of the Champions League has been relatively tight with just two of the eight fixtures featuring Over 2.5 Goals 1.87, whilst at least one side has failed to score in half of those eight encounters. The average goals per-game from the pool comes in at 2.13 yet the market is expecting 2.80 goals in Tuesday night's early kick-off from Austria.

"Considering the state of play on the penultimate round of group action, I'm quite happy to oppose a high goals total and keep an improving Chelsea outfit onside. The Blues have allowed only three goals in eight outings under Graham Potter and the 2.00 on Chelsea to win and Under 4.5 Goals this midweek hold plenty of appeal.

"Across all competitions, none of Chelsea's contests this season have produced five goals or more, and only one of Salzburg's last 17 Champions League clashes have concluded with Over 4.5 Goals since November 2020."

Mark's bet: Back Chelsea and Under 4.5 Goals @ 2.01/1

Tom Vicotr says: "You have to go back nearly a full decade for Manchester City's last (and only) Champions League defeat against Borussia Dortmund.

"On that occasion, Julian Schieber scored the only goal of the game as Jürgen Klopp's Schwarzgelben ensured City ended their group stage campaign without a win and set up their own run to the final of the competition in May 2013.

"Despite their record of three wins, a draw and a defeat, the Premier League champions are yet to keep a clean sheet against Dortmund in five attempts. Their last trip to the Germans' stadium came during a run to the final, when Terzić was only in caretaker charge, and that too featured a goal from Bellingham."

Tom's bet: Back the 1-1 @ 9.617/2

Celtic v Shakhtar: Unfinished business for Bhoys

Celtic 1.8910/11 v Shakhtar Donetsk 4.3100/30, the Draw 4.03/1

Frank Monkhouse says: "The head-to-head stats are perfectly poised ahead of Tuesday's action, with Celtic winning two of their previous five games against Shakhtar. The Ukrainians are also on a pair of wins, with the other ending in a draw. The spare came earlier this season in Poland when the clubs played out a thrilling 1-1 share.

"The home team were involved in another slog at the weekend when claiming all three points from a visit to the capital. A dogged and determined Hearts pushed Ange's boys all the way to the finish line in a game that produced seven goals.

"Celtic won that match 4-3, with the winner credited to Greg Taylor, who bundled home to spark chaotic scenes in the away end. Postecoglou praised his team for digging deep and finding a way to win in such challenging circumstances."

Frank's bet: Back Celtic win & both teams score @ 3.65

RB Leipzig v Real Madrid: Champions League holders must be backed

Dan Fitch says: "Unbeaten in their first four games (W3 D1), the Champions League holders have a four point lead at the top of Group F, ahead of the second placed Germans. They are also top of the table in Spain after an unbeaten start to their La Liga campaign (P11 W10 D1), winning 3-1 at home against Sevilla on Saturday.

"RB Leipzig were beaten by Shakhtar Donetsk and then in the reverse fixture in their first two games, but they have bounced back with two wins against Celtic. The Germans are on a seven match unbeaten run (W5 D2). At the weekend they fought back from being 3-0 down at Augsburg to draw 3-3, after the opposition went down to 10 men. That draw leaves Leipzig in eighth place in the Bundesliga."

Dan's bet: Back Real Madrid @ 2.568/5

Benfica v Juventus: Back goals as Old Lady face must-win trip

Dan Fitch: "

Juventus must beat Benfica to stand any chance on making the knockout stages of the Champions League.

"Based on what we've seen so far in Group H, it will be the Portuguese giants that will qualify alongside PSG. Against all the odds, Benfica remain unbeaten (P4 W2 D2), drawing both games with PSG and winning the reverse of this fixture in Turin. At the weekend they came out on top in another difficult fixture, winning 1-0 away at Porto. Across all competitions, Benfica are unbeaten in all 19 of their games this season (W15 D4).

"Juventus' hopes of making the last-16 were dealt a massive blow in the last round of fixtures when they lost 2-0 away at Maccabi Haifa. They now need to win this match and away at PSG to stand any chance of qualification. The Old Lady have at least bounced back from that defeat against the Israelis, winning 1-0 away at local rivals Torino and then defeating Empoli 4-0 at home over the weekend."

Dan's bet: Back both teams to score @ 1.834/5

Football Bet of the Day: Dynamic Dinamo can find the net

Dinamo Zagreb 4.94/1 v Milan 1.824/5, the Draw 3.953/1

Kevin Hatchard says: "Despite injury issues this season (Milan have lost keeper Mike Maignan and striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and a host of other players have had spells on the sidelines), the Rossoneri have stayed in the hunt for a second successive Scudetto.

"They are just three points behind the leaders Napoli, and at the weekend they crushed Monza 4-1, getting the better of their former bosses Adriano Galliani and Silvio Berlusconi. Former Liverpool striker Divock Origi scored his first goal for the club, and Brahim Diaz scored twice, including a goal after a fine run from the halfway line.

"Dinamo are eight points clear at the top of the Croatian top flight, and in this competition they have managed a 1-0 win over Chelsea and a creditable draw with Salzburg, but on the road they have lost twice. Forward Mislav Orsic is having another excellent season - he has scored 11 goals in all competitions, including UCL strikes against Chelsea and Milan."

Kevin's bet: Back Both Teams To Score at 1.87

Sevilla v Copenhagen: Improving hosts to claim win they need

Sevilla 1.558/15 v Copenhagen 7.613/2, the Draw 4.3100/30

Andy Schooler says: "With confidence on the rise and home advantage, I'd expect Sevilla to claim the win they need if they are to keep their qualification hopes alive.

"If you add under 3.5 goals - an option which provides something of a safety net for punters - then you are getting almost even money and that seems perfectly fair.

Andy's bet: Back Sevilla and under 3.5 goals @ 1.95
