Mega Accumulator Tip
Stuttgart are unbeaten since a chastening 5-1 defeat in their last Champions League game and the Bundesliga side should be able to keep their European hopes alive by beating Young Boys, who have failed to pick up any points in their opening five games. Young Boys need a result, however, and have at least scored in their last two European games and they can get a consolation effort here as Stuttgart have conceded in nine of their 10 home games this season.
Crvena Zvezda have already lost heavily at this ground this season, going down 4-0 to Inter earlier in the competition, and they could ship a few goals against AC Milan. The Rossoneri have scored at least three goals in five of their six home wins in all comps and in each of their last three European games, while the visitors have conceded 17 goals in five Champions League games – with nine of those coming across their two away fixtures.
Benfica have won eight of their last nine games, including each of their previous five. They take on a Bologna outfit who have managed to record just one point in Europe this season, losing each of their last five Champions League outings. With Benfica conceding in four of their five League Phase outings, they should win and concede once more.
Watford haven’t been great on their Championship travels but they have what it takes to defeat basement boys Hull at the MKM Stadium. The Hornets are only just outside the top six and should appreciate taking on the Tigers, who have lost six on the trot.
Star-Struck Treble Tip
Lille have won three of their first five games in the League Phase of the Champions League, while they’ve won three of their last four home games in the competition. Sturm Graz have lost four of their five games in this competition this term, including a 2-1 loss at French side Brest.

Bet to Net Accumulator Tip
Jonathan David has four strikes in his last five Champions League appearances and the Canadian forward has scored twice against both Montpellier and Brest in his last two outings.
Dortmund haven’t lost across their nine home matches in all competitions this season, while they have lost just one of their five Champions League games to date – surrendering a 2-0 lead at holders Real Madrid. The hosts have improved since that slip, as shown by their recent 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich.
Germany U21 international Nick Woltemade may get the nod for the hosts after a two-goal showing in the win over Union Berlin last time out. Woltemade also scored and provided an assist in the DfB Pokal win cover Regenesburg prior to that win over Union, and those performances may be enough to see him earn a Champions League start so if he is involved from the off back him to score.
Correct Score Double Tip
Juventus have drawn 11 times this season and seven of their last nine have ended all square. Two of their last three at home have ended 2-2, while Manchester City played out a 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Champions League Accumulator Tip
Feyenoord have seen both teams score in six of their last seven matches in all competitions, while they’ve conceded in all of their League Phase games to date – with BTTS landing in four. Sparta Prague have had their own issues defensively, but they can take advantage of Feyenoord’s struggles.
Lille have won three of their first five games in the League Phase of the Champions League, while they’ve won three of their last four home games in the competition. Sturm Graz have lost four of their five games in this competition this term, including a 2-1 loss at French side Brest.
Atletico Madrid have scored 18 goals across their last four games and they should have little trouble seeing off a Slovan Bratislava side who have lost all five games this term. With the visitors losing 5-1 at Celtic and 4-0 to Man City, back Atletico to clear a -2 handicap.
Stuttgart are unbeaten since a chastening 5-1 defeat in their last Champions League game and the Bundesliga side should be able to keep their European hopes alive by beating Young Boys, who have failed to pick up any points in their opening five games. Young Boys need a result, however, and have at least scored in their last two European games and they can get a consolation effort here as Stuttgart have conceded in nine of their 10 home games this season.
Underdog Double Tip
Preston were the better side for large parts of Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Sheffield Wednesday and they can ease their disappointment by defeating Cardiff in Wales. The Lilywhites are steadily improving under Paul Heckingbottom and do not have much to fear from the Bluebirds, who are winless in five.
Watford haven’t been great on their Championship travels but they have what it takes to defeat basement boys Hull at the MKM Stadium. The Hornets are only just outside the top six and should appreciate taking on the Tigers, who have lost six on the trot.
Double Chance Treble Tip
QPR ended their winless status on home soil with a 3-0 victory at home to Norwich but they could be brought back down to earth by a failure to defeat Oxford. The Hoops have a lot of injuries to contend with and that may encourage Oxford, who can pick up a rare positive result their travels.
Manchester City have won just one of their last nine games and have drawn one and lost five of their last six on the road, while Juventus have only lost once in 20 competitive attempts this season.
Dortmund haven’t lost across their nine home matches in all competitions this season, while they have lost just one of their five Champions League games to date – surrendering a 2-0 lead at holders Real Madrid. The hosts have improved since that slip, as shown by their recent 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich.

Bet to Net Outsider Double Tip
Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders has three goals in the Champions League and has three in his last three games across all competitions. With Christian Pulisic missing for the hosts, Reijnders could be one of their main attacking threats and he can add to his goals haul at the San Siro.
European Trophy Treble Tip
Real Madrid clinched a record-extending 15th Champions League trophy at Wembley last season and they look good value to make it 16 in Munich next year.
They have won 15 of their 18 appearances in the final and have won six of the last 11 instalments, with their last defeat in the final of this competition coming back in 1981 against Liverpool.
Los Blancos’ storied history in this competition would have put them among my favourites for the trophy even before their business in the summer, but the transfer window has been kind to them and they head into the 2024/25 campaign with arguably the best squad in the world.
The world-class talents of Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior remain instrumental to Carlo Ancelotti’s side, but the arrival of arguably the world’s best player in Kylian Mbappe could send them stratospheric.
As if that wasn’t enough, teenage sensation Endrick has also arrived in the Spanish capital and scored on his home debut against Real Valladolid.
Led by a manager who has won the Champions League a record five times with two separate teams, it would take a brave man to oppose Real Madrid.
Athletic Bilbao have clear motivation for a deep Europa League run – as their San Mames stadium will host the final in May. Spain star Nico Williams has hung around for another season dreaming of European glory with his boyhood club in their home ground.
Athletic won the Copa del Rey last term and they’re seen as the strongest Spanish side in the competition. With eight of the last 11 seasons seeing a Spanish winner of the Europa League, Athletic are standout value at 12/1.
Copenhagen made the Champions League last 16 earlier this year, making it through a group that contained Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Galatasaray. They finished four points off the Danish title in May and slipped into the Conference League as a result, where the change in format offers them a path to glory. After a decent summer transfer window and a strong domestic start, Copenhagen can make an impact in a competition which has a vulnerable trio of favourites.

Both Teams to Score Long Haul Accumulator Tip
Leeds are in fine form, but they lost 3-0 at home to Middlesbrough when the sides met in the cup this term. The pair shared 12 goals across two thrilling league games last season and Boro head to Elland Road with BTTS landing in their previous five trips, with 26 goals scored in total.
Man City continue to struggle for clean sheets, drawing 2-2 with Crystal Palace at the weekend. Juventus have kept one clean sheet in their five European games so far and another open game is expected.
Plzen have scored twice in four of their five Europa League games at this stage, but they’ve conceded in those four too. United remain shaky at the back, as shown in Saturday’s 3-2 home defeat to Nottingham Forest.
Wolfsburg have been scoring for fun on their travels, netting three or more in four of their last five on the road. However, Freiburg have played their part in some high-scoring home games, so goals look good here.
Marseille continue to struggle at the back, keeping one home clean sheet this term. Lille have seen BTTS land in six of their last seven and they should provide more entertainment this weekend.
Brighton have seen BTTS land in 12 of their last 13, including each of their last eight. The Seagulls’ previous seven at home have featured both teams scoring, so back an improved Palace side who keep squandering leads to score and concede.
