Football Tips: Best midweek bets for Champions League and more

Manchester City v Borussia Monchengladbach: Imperious City to win again

Manchester City won their first clash with Borussia Monchengladbach in Budapest, and Kevin Hatchard doesn't anticipate any problems second time around.

He says: "A demoralised Gladbach managed just two goal attempts in the first leg, and it's hard to see them leaving much of a dent in City's much-improved defence."

Chelsea v Atletico Madrid: Blues can progress in low scoring game

Chelsea are 1-0 up on aggregate in their Champions League tie with Atletico Madrid and Dan Fitch expects the Blues' uncharitable defence to see them through.

Back 'no' in the both Chelsea and Atletico Madrid to score market at 1.910/11

Bayern Munich v Lazio: Muller to work his magic

Bayern Munich crushed Lazio in Rome, and Kevin Hatchard expects another eye-catching win from the Champions League holders.

He says: "Bayern outclassed Lazio in the first leg, and should do again, while star striker Robert Lewandowski has found the net in 18 of his last 22 outings."

Champions League Same Game Multi Tips: Four bets for the last-16 second legs

The Champions League last-16 reaches its conclusion with this week's second legs so Max Liu picks a same game multi bet for all four ties.

He says: "It's not like we can rely on a Lazio side, which conceded twice at home to Serie A's bottom club Crotone at the weekend, to keep the score down. A Bayern clean sheet, meanwhile, is something of a rarity with just one in their last seven."

Back Both Teams to Score? 'Yes' and Over 2.5 goals @ 1.9310/11

Midweek Championship Tips: Hornets to win away again

There's a full Championship fixture list across Tuesday and Wednesday so Jack Critchley picks his bets from the pick of the action.

He says: "Rotherham have failed to score in each of their last two matches at this stadium, and they could find it difficult to break down Watford's stubborn back-line. The visitors xGA is one of the best in the division and they've conceded just two goals in their last four games."

Back Watford to beat Rotherham @ 1.855/6

Birmingham v Reading: Royals too strong for rudderless Blues

Relegation-threatened Birmingham host play-off chasing Reading at St Andrew's in Wednesday night's live Championship action. Mark O'Haire previews the contest.

He says: "The Berkshire outfit have returned W8-D4-L4 in their past 16 outings and have improved their road results too, losing just once in seven away days (W3-D3-L1)."
