The top leagues are back in action following a week off for cup competitions and Paul Robinson has picked out a 9/2 treble that starts with a Bayern Munich win. Here are his selections:

- Back Bayern Munich @ 20/23
- Back Sheffield United @ 3/4
- Back Getafe @ 3/4

The Acca pays approximately 9/2

Bet 1: Back Bayern Munich @ 20/23 - KO 19:30 GMT

With the season only halfway completed, Bayern Munich are already 11 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga and although they face a tricky fixture this evening, I expect them to pick up the victory.

Aside from a penalty shoot-out win in the cup, the undoubted Kings of German football haven't won on this ground since 2013. Their recent away record of four wins from their last five suggests that they are primed to right that wrong, and Jupp Heynckes has excelled since his return to the club.

Bayer Leverkusen are fourth in the table, just two points behind Schalke in second, but then that area of the division is congested with only six points covering second to 10th.

Despite their success, their win rate at home this term is just 50% - four wins and four draws - and they have kept just the one clean sheet from their five latest outings in front of their own fans.

Bet 2: Back Sheffield United @ 3/4 - KO 19:45 GMT

The Steel City Derby is always worth a watch and this should be no different - especially if you're a fan of The Blades.

Chris Wilder's side have been in slightly indifferent form in recent weeks, but seventh place for a newly promoted team is absolutely fine at this stage of the season and they enjoyed a confidence boosting FA Cup victory last weekend.

The Owls on the other hand have failed to score in any of their last three outings and are pinning their hopes on new manager, Jos Luhukay, to turn their campaign around.

Away from home it's two defeats from their last three, and in the reverse fixture at Hillsborough, it was United who ran out 4-2 winners.

Bet 3: Back Getafe @ 3/4 - KO 20:00 GMT

This final selection is a bit of a no-brainer for me as Malaga are in such miserable form that I can't take their chances at Getafe seriously.

The visitors have lost their last three outings, all without scoring a goal. They are second from bottom of La Liga and have been beaten in eight of their nine away fixtures this season.

Getafe are in 11th place and six of their seven victories this year have come in front of their own fans. They are undefeated in their last five at home - four wins and one draw - and that includes a 1-0 success over Valencia.
