Following hot on the heels of massive 68/1 and 20/1 winners in the NFL and F1 on Sunday, FST’s tipsters hit the jackpot again on Wednesday evening when their huge Champions League group winner acca landed at 57/1.
Back in early October, FST’s analysts previewed the group stage of competition as soon as the draw was complete, before turning their phenomenal football forecast powers to some prediction work.
Following some gripping elite level continental action, the tournament’s eight groups were eventually finalised on Wednesday evening, and FST correctly predicted ALL EIGHT Champions League group winners.
Our 57/1 Champions League group winners acca is FST’s SIXTH winner at 35/1 odds or better this season. Read more about how it all unfolded below and remember to check out all of today’s football tips here.
57/1 Champions League group winner acca lands!
Group A winners prediction: Bayern Munich
Defending champions Bayern Munich sailed through the tricky looking group the Bavarians shared with Atletico Madrid, RB Salzburg and Lokomotiv Moscow in typically explosive style, taking 16 points from a possible 18 while scoring more goals (18) than any other team in the tournament’s opening phase.
Group B winners prediction: Real Madrid
Los Blancos toiled for parts of their Group B campaign, though a match-day six triumph over early pace setters Borussia Monchengladbach allowed the Spanish giants to claim top spot in the dying embers ahead of the Bundesliga dark horses, leaving Shakhtar Donetsk and Inter Milan in third and fourth place respectively.
Group C winners prediction: Manchester City
Manchester City danced through Group C with ruthless efficiency, winning five and drawing one of their six group matches to top the pile with 16 points. Incredibly, the Citizens conceded just a single goal during their group campaign – a defensive record that no other team came close to matching.
Group D winners prediction: Liverpool
Liverpool barely broke a sweat as they breezed through Group D, and the Reds made light of their injury crisis to lead the way ahead of Atalanta, Ajax and Danish minnows Midtjylland. Mohamed Salah became the club’s all-time leading scorer in the Champions League with his match-day six goal against the Danes.
Group E winners prediction: Chelsea
Chelsea survived Group E’s gauntlet unbeaten following their impressive showing and the Blues’ thumping 4-0 win at Sevilla on match-day five was the highlight of their run to qualification. Plenty of teams will be desperate to avoid Frank Lampard’s improving side in the knockout phase.
Group F winners prediction: Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund emerged from a competitive field that included Lazio, Club Brugge and Zenit St. Petersburg to finish top of Group F, where Erling Haaland’s six goals helped to fire the German behemoths into the Last 16.
Group G winners prediction: Juventus
Juventus’ superb 3-0 win at Barcelona on match day six allowed the Old Lady to leapfrog their hosts into first place at the death on Wednesday evening. Juve’s only defeat in Group G came at home to Barca on match-day two, making their final day flourish this week all the sweeter.
Group H winners prediction: PSG
Last year’s beaten finalists PSG took the long-route to top spot in Group H following two defeats in their opening three matches. The Parisians’ 3-1 win over Man Utd at Old Trafford on match-day five proved key and Thomas Tuchel’s side completed the formalities with an excellent 5-1 victory against Istanbul Basaksehir on Wednesday.
