Manchester United v Galatasaray – Click here to bet
Manchester United were away to Bayern Munich in their opening Group A clash and they went down 4-3 in an absolute thriller which included 2 injury-time goals.
Manchester United were stunned on the weekend when they lost 1-0 at home to Crystal Palace who were priced at 5/1 for the win.
Galatasaray had to come through the qualification stages and their first game was at home to FC Copenhagen where they started 7/10 favourites. They failed to justify that though and only two goals in the last 5 minutes saw them come back to draw 2-2.
Galatasaray are undefeated in their last 14 matches in all competitions. Given Manchester United’s current form I think Galatasaray are over-priced for this one and I am going to back them to get something out of the game.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Galatasaray +0.5 goals at 18/10

Napoli v Real Madrid – Click here to bet
Napoli currently top Group C on goal difference ahead of Real Madrid and they beat Braga 2-1 on the road on Match Day 1. They made heavy work of it though scoring the winner in the 88th minute via an own goal. Napoli beat Lecce 4-0 on the road in the League on the weekend.
Real Madrid were at home to Union Berlin in their opening match and they started 4/10 favourites for the win, but like Napoli they left it late to get the job done and they scored their winner in the 94th minute. Real Madrid were away to Girona in the La Liga on the weekend winning 3-0.
This is a game where I am expecting the goals to flow and I am betting we get 4 or more.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 7/4
Inter Milan v Benfica – Click here to bet
Inter are currently sitting 3rd in Group D on 1 point from their opening game where they drew 1-1 at Real Sociedad. They bounced back from a surprise League defeat to Sassuolo to beat Salernitana 4-0 on the road on the weekend and they are favourites to win the LaLiga Title.
Benfica are bottom of Group D after losing 2-0 at home to Salzburg in their opening match. It was a surprising result given they started 5/10 favourites for the game. They have won their last two League matches including a 1-0 win over FC Porto at home on the weekend.
These sides met in the Champions League last season with Inter Milan winning 5-3 on aggregate over the two legs.
Benfica would have been rocked by that Matchday 1 defeat, but they are going to find things tough against the in form Inter Milan who I am backing to take the 3 points.
Suggested Bet: Inter Milan win at 15/20
Lens v Arsenal – Click here to bet
Lens are currently 2nd to Arsenal in Group B after a 1-1 draw away at Sevilla on Matchday 1. Since then they have come out and won back-to-back games in the League beating Toulouse 2-1 at home and Strasbourg 1-0 on the road.
Arsenal were short-priced favourites to beat PSV in their opening game and three first-half goals got the job done and they eventually won 4-0, the same score line that they dished out to Bournemouth on the road in the EPL on the weekend.
Arsenal are undefeated in their last 12 matches across all competitions.
I suspect this is going to be quite a cagey affair and I am going to bet that we get two goals or less in the match.
Suggested Bet: Under 2.5 goals at 23/20
