Paul Higham is backing a 21/103.10 shots treble in Man City's big game with PSG, a regulation Liverpool win in Austria, Roma to take a point off Real Madrid and a 16/117.00 Champions League Acca for Wednesday's games.


LASK v Liverpool Tip - Back 7/52.40 Reds win in Austria

A tricky test this for Andoni Iraola as with injuries piling up and games coming thick and fast he could do with making a few changes here if he can. Despite their problems Liverpool are still 2/71.29 for the win and should have enough to win, but LASK won't make it easy and the Austrians have been strong at home in Europe with just two defeats in 16.

The hosts are 17/29.50 underdogs and could be lively at home - where they stuck five past Celtic in qualiyfing - but the Reds have won 25 of 29 Champions League group games and have scored twice in five of their last six aways against just one clean sheet in 10 for LASK.

If they both start then the 1/12.00 OddsBoost on Florian Wirtz and Victor Munoz 1+ shot on target is worth a look. This could be a good game for Wirtz to try and get some confidence back. Overall though I think it'll be a regulation Liverpool win.


Feyenoord v Como Tip - Back a score draw at 7/24.50

Como were impressive 4-1 winners over RB Leipzig on matchday one, and Cesc Fabregas' side are 10/111.91 favourites in Rotterdam despite not scoring in their last two games. Feyenoord are 13/53.60 to win at De Kuip and respond to their 5-1 thrashing at Barcelona last time out.

It's a third straight home game for the Dutch side, with 5-0 and 2-0 wins in the last two, while they've won four of the last five UCL games on home soil. Their games are full of goals too with seven of eight going over 3.5 and while Como will try and keep things tight - they've conceded just seven goals this season - both teams have scored in five of their seven outings this season.

I think these two are evenly matched so the 31/104.10 draw looks attractive and I just can't see any evidence on form or in the fact that Feyenoord's last 42 European haves have yielded zero 0-0 draws that this one will end scoreless.


Man City v PSG Tip - Back 21/103.10 shots on target treble

One for the purists here! The double defending champions, Qatar-backed PSG are 2/13.00 to win at the Etihad, home of Man City, with the Abu Dhabi owned hosts 11/102.11 to back-up Sunday's eventful win at Anfield with another victory.

Luis Enrique made plenty of changes at the weekend as PSG look for a first win at the Etihad at the fifth attempt (D1 L3) and with four wins in a row they do seem to be over that sticky patch when they went winless in four.

With the firepower on show it does seem set up for a shootout so over 3.5 goals at 21/202.05 looks the shout but preference here is for a nice little shots on target treble - avoiding 1/81.12 Erling Haaland but backing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembele (both with a SOT in their last four games) and the in-form Rayan Cherki with a goal in his last two games.

Aston Villa v Fenerbahce Tip - Back 21/103.10 home win

Fenerbahce are no mugs even as big 4/15.00 outsiders here - they beat Lyon in qualifying and drew with Roma in matchday one, and Villa are still in the bottom half of the Premier League after a 2-2 draw with Brentford. But they're worthy 8/131.61 favourites for me as Unai Emery is just turning the corner with them and I have no doubt they'll improve from here on.

Fener haven't won now in eight UCL games outside of qualifying and Villa have won all three head-to-heads without conceding a goal. Scoring 3+ goals in five of seven in Europe shows how good Emery is in UEFA competitions and although the Turkish side can score goals, the usually need a clean sheet to win games.

John McGinn is prolific in Europe wth seven goals in 10 starts so at 11/43.75 anytime scorer he's the value in the field, while 9/25.50 Marco Asensio returns to Villa Park and brings a threat for the visitors with goals in two of his last three games. But even a goal here though won't be enough.


Roma v Real Madrid Tip - Back a stalemate in Rome

A case of the draws for Roma with three in four, including matchday one against Fenerbahce, but they remain unbeaten this season so this won't be a walk in the park for 19/201.95 favourites Real Madrid. A home win is priced at 13/53.60 and Real's only two defeats this season have come on the road, so you couldn't rule it out.

Jose Mourinho is back at another former club so both parties won't want to lose and ultimately I don't think either will as the draw looks the shout to me. Real were fortunate to beat Inter in their opening game and Roma will really give them a game here.


Real Betis v Porto Tip - Back 7/24.50 cards & corners double

Live on TNT Sports 6 & HBO

Both of these sides have only lost once this season but Betis are 1/12.00 favourites here at home, with 5/23.50 shots Porto having a wretched record in Spain as they've won just three of 19 trips across the border, losing 13.

I personally don't see a lot between them, so this looks like another draw, which is 11/43.75 here. Preference though is for a card and corners Bet Builder, with 10+ corners landing in seven of eight Betis games and at least four cards in 11 of 14 home matches.


Bodo/Glimt v Dortmund Tip - Back BVB in another goalfest

Regular underdogs Bodo/Glimt have lost their last two UCL games 5-0 but they've become a force at home and reeled off five straight wins last season - beating the likes of Man City, Inter and Sporting so underestimate the 21/103.10 outsiders at your peril!

Dortmund bagged a typical Dortmund win, 3-2 against Villarreal, in their first game and even in this tricky game I think they'll come out on top as 11/102.11 favourites, but it'll likely take a few more goals to do the job.


Shakhtar v AEK Tip - Back a 12/53.40 draw at Stamford Bridge

Unable to playt in Ukraine, Shakhtar Donetsk are bizarrely staging their UCL home games at Stamford Bridge this season so it'll be a weird atmosphere in west London. There's hardly anything between them with Shakhtar 17/102.70 and AEK 13/82.63.

The Greeks are winless in 22 Champions League proper games away from home though, but they have been tough to break down of late so taking everything into account this one looks a low-scoring draw to me.


Slovan v Stuttgart Tip - Back a sure-fire away win

Slovan have lost all nine UCL games outside of qualifying and are fresh off a 6-1 hammering by PSG. Stuttgart won 3-1 here a couple of seasons ago and you'd be hard pressed to think of too many reasons why the result shouldn't be similar again.

The German side are 2/71.29 so we have to back a few goals in order to get the value up. Stuttgart's last 17 games in Eruope have averaged 3.5 goals while nine of Slovan's last 11 saw both teams score. We'll back the hosts to bag a consolation effort.
