DORTMUND v NEWCASTLE – Click here to bet
Dortmund and Newcastle are sitting 2nd and 3rd in Group F behind PSG and with 2 teams qualifying for the last 16 this is a crucial match.
The Germans beat Newcastle 1-0 on the road last time out despite being 9/2 underdogs and that was their first win having had a draw and a loss in their opening two games. It was Newcastle’s first loss in 3 matches having beaten PSG away and drawn 0-0 at AC Milan.
Given the importance of this encounter, I am expecting a tight game and I think the draw is the betting value.
Suggested Bet: The draw at 26/10
SHAKHTAR DONETSK v BARCELONA – Click here to bet
Shakhtar Donetsk are currently 3rd in Group H with Barcelona topping the log, 6 points above them. Shakhtar have lost 2 and won 1 of their 3 matches and over 2.5 goal backers would have collected profits in all 3 games. Barcelona have a 100% record after 3 games and they beat Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1 at home last time out.
Barcelona bounced back from a defeat to Real Madrid in the League to beat Real Sociedad on the weekend and I think they are going to be too strong in this game.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Barcelona -1.5 goals at 15/20
AC MILAN v PSG – Click here to bet
Milan are currently bottom of Group F on 2 points from 3 matches while PSG top the group with 6 points out of a possible 9. AC Milan have yet to win a game. They lost 3-0 at PSG last time out and they have yet to score a goal in the Champions League group stages this season. Both PSG’s victories have come at home and their one away game was a 4-1 defeat to Newcastle.
PSG are favourites for this fixture at 5/4, but I think AC Milan can stay alive with a victory.
Suggested Bet: AC Milan win at 21/10

MANCHESTER CITY v YOUNG BOYS – Click here to bet
Manchester City currently top Group G with a maximum of 9 points from their 3 matches. Young Boys are in 3rd on the log with just 1 point in their opening three games.
City beat Young Boys 3-1 away in their last start and all 3 of their matches have finished with 3-1 victories. All 3 of Young Boys Champions League group matches have had 4 goals in them.
I am expecting a comfortable victory from Manchester City who are priced as 1/12 shots and will back them to score 4 goals or more.
Suggested Bet: Manchester City Total Goals over 3.5 at 12/10
LAZIO v FEYENOORD – Click here to bet
Feyenoord are currently top of Group E on 6 points out of a possible 9 while Lazio are 3rd, in what is a competitive group, on 4 points with Atlético Madrid sandwiched in between them.
Lazio lost 3-1 on the road to Feyenoord in their last start. Their only home game was a 1-1 draw with Atlético Madrid. Both of Feyenoord’s victories have come at home and their only away match was a 3-2 defeat to Atlético Madrid.
Bookmakers are struggling to separate the pair with Lazio 31/20, the draw 26/10 and Feyenoord 7/4. I don’t think the draw would be the worst result for Feyenoord and I think that is the play here.
Suggested Bet: The draw at 26/10
BELGRADE v RB LEIPZIG – Click here to bet
Belgrade are bottom of Group G with 1 point from 3 matches while Leipzig are 2nd behind Manchester City with 6 points from a possible 9.
Goals have flowed in Belgrade matches with 4 goals in each of their 3 games, exactly the same stat applies to RB Leipzig matches.
RB Leipzig are the 4/7 favourites here and I can see them winning by more than a goal.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, RB Leipzig -1.5 goals at 14/10
ATLÉTICO MADRID v CELTIC – Click here to bet
Madrid are 2nd in the competitive Group E, 1 point behind leaders Feyenoord and 1 point above Lazio. Celtic are bottom of that group with 1 point from their opening 3 matches, which came last time out drawing 2-2 at home to Atlético Madrid.
Atlético Madrid’s only home game was a 3-2 win over Feyenoord and I can’t see Celtic troubling them and I am going to take a correct score play here, Atlético Madrid 3, Celtic 0.
Suggested Bet: Correct Score 3-0 at 7/1
