See AllMega Accumulator Tip
Olympiakos have won each of their last three matches, keeping clean sheets on each occasion. Pafos have been averaging just 1.25 goals in all competitions this term and they were beaten to nil by Apollon on Saturday.
Bayern are in a rich vein of scoring form, having already netted 14 goals in three league games, and can prevail in a high-scoring encounter. It is worth remembering that Chelsea conceded in nine of their 15 Conference League games last season despite mixing it with lesser opponents.
Slavia Prague failed to win seven of their eight Group Stage matches in the Europa League last season, so they could struggle to compete in the UCL. Bodo/Glimt have lost only one of their last eight fixtures and they can upset the odds here.
Three of Ajax’s last four games and each of Inter Milan’s last two matches have featured goals at both ends. BTTS has also landed in five of Inter’s last six fixtures in the Champions League.
Liverpool have won their last four games and each of their last three meetings with Atletico Madrid, while the visitors have only won once in four attempts this term. However, they have scored in all four games, while Liverpool shipped six goals in their opening three matches.
Swansea are unbeaten in six with three wins and three draws. They can avoid defeat against a Forest side reeling from two 3-0 losses in succession and now getting to know a new manager’s system. Forest have failed to win any of their last four Carabao Cup matches too.

PSG have won each of their first four matches in Ligue 1 this season, though three of those games featured under 2.5 goals. The hosts are missing some key attackers, so a low-scoring win over Atalanta looks possible.
Inter have scored nine goals across their three competitive games this season and should have the beating of an Ajax outfit that have conceded almost two goals per game in their last eight European fixtures.
Liverpool have won their last four games and each of their last three meetings with Atletico Madrid, while the visitors have only won once in four attempts this term. However, they have scored in all four games, while Liverpool shipped six goals in their opening three matches.
Bet of the Day Tip

Correct Score Double Tip

Slavia Prague averaged just 0.875 goals across their eight UEL Group Phase games last season, while Bodo/Glimt notched exactly once in five of their last six away tests in Europe (UEL & UCL).
Win to Nil Double Tip
PSG have won each of their first four matches in Ligue 1 this season, though three of those games featured under 2.5 goals. The hosts are missing some key attackers, so a low-scoring win over Atalanta looks possible, especially after keeping clean sheets in three of their first four Ligue 1 games.

Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid Foul-Four Bet Builder Tip
Marcos Llorente to commit 2+ fouls
Atletico Madrid right-back Marcos Llorente will have his work cut out for him against a star-studded Liverpool attack, and the Spaniard has been reprimanded his fair share of times this season.
He has committed seven fouls in four La Liga appearances, committing two or more in three of those, including both away matches.
Giuliano Simeone to be fouled 2+ times
Giuliano Simeone has been fouled an Atletico Madrid-high ten times in four appearances this season and drew a massive five fouls against Villarreal on Saturday.
He has been fouled twice or more in three of his four games this season, including in away games against Espanyol and Alaves.
Cody Gakpo to be fouled 3+ times
No player has been fouled more times in the Premier League than Cody Gakpo this season, with the Liverpool winger drawing 11 fouls in total.
He will be matched up against the foul-happy Marcos Llorente, and the Netherlands international has been fouled three or more times in four of his last six games for club and country.
Julian Alvarez to commit 1+ fouls
Julian Alvarez has committed at least one foul in four of his six appearances for club and country this season, and he can be backed with a mind for Paddy Power’s Super Sub promotion for this trip to Anfield.
He has been substituted for Alexander Sorloth twice in four La Liga games this season, and his replacement has averaged 3.04 fouls per 90 minutes this season.
Accumulator Tip

Match Goals Double Tip

Liverpool have won their last four games and each of their last three meetings with Atletico Madrid, while the visitors have only won once in four attempts this term. However, they have scored in all four games, while Liverpool shipped six goals in their opening three matches.
Manchester City vs Napoli Bet Builder Tip
Erling Haaland to score anytime
Erling Haaland is tenth on the list of all-time top Champions League goalscorers and is the only player in the top 50 who has averaged over a goal per game in the competition.
The Norwegian has enjoyed a flying start to this campaign, scoring twice against Manchester United on Sunday to take his tally to 11 goals in six appearances for club and country.
Scott McTominay to have 1+ shot on target
Scott McTominay has cut a rejuvenated figure since moving to Napoli, scoring 14 goals in 39 competitive appearances for the Italian side.
He has averaged over a shot on target per game since joining the club, and has hit the target at least once in all five games for club and country this season, totalling seven attempts on target.
Scott McTominay to be fouled 2+ times
It’s not just shots that Scott McTominay has been racking up in Italy, with the Scotland international drawing 13 fouls in his first three games of the season.
Only Bologna’s Nicolo Cambiaghi has been fouled more times in Serie A this season, and he has been fouled twice or more in each of these three games, taking his tally to 73 fouls drawn since his move to Naples.
Matteo Politano to have 2+ shots
Matteo Politano has recorded a club-high ten shots on goal in just three appearances for Napoli this season and added a further four attempts over two games for Italy during the international break.
The right winger has had three or more shots in four of his five competitive games for club and country and has racked up a massive 138 shots since the start of the 2023/24 season, averaging 2.3 shots per 90 minutes over this period.
Oscar Bobb to be fouled 2+ times
Oscar Bobb spent the majority of the Manchester derby on the bench, but he had started each of Manchester City’s first three Premier League fixtures and is expected to be recalled to the starting lineup on Thursday.
The Norway international was fouled eight times in these three starts for the club topping two or more fouls drawn in two of them.
Champions League Experts' Accumulator Tip
Inter have lost two in a row in Serie A but they should still prove too strong for Ajax in their opening Champions League game on Wednesday.The home side are unbeaten in five matches in the Eredivisie, but none of the teams they have faced are higher than ninth in the table and this fixture represents a major step up in class from the opponents they have been playing.Inter won six of their eight league-phase games last season, conceding only one goal, and went on to reach the final, while Ajax made only the last 16 of the Europa League.
Kairat Almaty produced a huge shock in getting the better of Celtic to qualify for the Champions League, the first time a team from Kazakhstan has ever managed the feat.However they did so on the back of being very solid defensively and they could keep things respectable when they visit Sporting in their first ever game.None of Kairat’s last 14 European games have gone over 3.5 goals and expect them to sit very deep against these Portuguese opponents. Sporting could take a bit of time to get up to full speed too so side with the hosts to win and under 3.5 goals at odds-against.
Benfica are strong favourites to beat Qarabag for good reason but they should open their campaign without too much drama, and look good to win to nil at close to even money.The Eagles, who enjoyed a notable 1-0 win over Bayern Munich at the FIFA Club World Cup, started the season with seven straight clean sheets, six of which were attained in winning efforts.Excuses can be made for their concessions in their last two matches but game faces will be on on Tuesday and Qarabag are travelling into the lion’s den with just one win in their last four games, and this being a huge step up in class.
Real Madrid have made a flying start to their La Liga campaign and they can quickly get up and running with a win to nil against Marseille.Los Blancos have won all four league matches this term and they have won all four match-ups with Marseille, scoring at least twice on each occasion.Marseille have lost both away matches in this campaign, failing to score along the way, and they could come away from the Spanish capital empty-handed.It was 3-0 to Real Madrid when Marseille last visited the Bernabeu and a similar outcome looks likely this week.
Europa League semi-finalists last season, Bodo/Glimt lead the Norwegian top flight and are fresh from scoring seven goals in their win over Kristiansund as they make their Champions League debut at Slavia Prague.Bodo/Glimt hammered Sturm Graz 5-0 in the first leg of their qualifier and are underestimated for this opening tie against a side that have failed to win any of their last seven games in UEFA competitions.The Norwegians won at Braga, drew at Nice and led 2-1 at Old Trafford before losing 3-2 during the Europa League group stage last season. They are unlikely to be fazed travelling to the Czech league leaders.
Goals should be guaranteed when PSV Eindhoven host league phase debutants Union Saint-Gilloise in one of Tuesday’s early games and backing over 3.5 in the match could prove shrewd.Dutch giants PSV scored 146 goals in all competitions last season and have started this term in similar fashion, recording 6-1, 4-2 and 5-3 wins across their opening five domestic fixtures.Union are also free-scoring, netting 15 in seven Belgian Pro League matches, and they will fancy their chances of breaching a PSV backline that has conceded two or more goals in each of their last three games against Groningen, Telstar and NEC Nijmegen.
Juventus continued their perfect start to the season with a 4-3 victory over rivals Inter Milan on Saturday. Their Champions League fixtures look kind, starting with a winnable home meeting with Borussia Dortmund.While Niko Kovac’s side have won their last two, question marks remain about their ability to match teams at the highest level.The visitors’ first trip of the season saw them draw 3-3 at St Pauli, so backing Juventus to win and concede appeals.

How does the Champions League work?
A certain number of teams from each league in Europe qualify for the Champions League. This number depends on the quality of the league and ranges from one to four teams. Some teams have to play qualifiers to get into the tournament, while higher-ranked teams are placed straight into the group stage.
Once the qualifiers have taken place, the group stages begin. There are eight groups in total, each made up of four teams. The teams in each group play each other twice, once at home and once away. The top two qualify for the knockout rounds. It’s an advantage to finish top of your group, as this means you will play a second-placed team in the next round.
The knockout stages are as follows: round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, final. Each match-up includes one home leg and one away leg, except for the final, which is a stand-alone match.
Which teams are in the Champions League?
The following teams have qualified for the 2022/23 Champions League group stage…
AC Milan, Ajax, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Celtic, Chelsea, Club Brugge, FC Porto, Frankfurt, Juventus, Inter Milan, Liverpool, Manchester City, Marseille, Napoli, PSG, Real Madrid, RB Leipzig, Salzburg, Sevilla, Shakhtar Donetsk, Sporting Lisbon, Tottenham.
So those are the teams, but it’s also worth getting to know the players. You can check out the top scorers in the Champions League this season here.
When is each stage?
