FK Crvena Zvezda Belgrade v Manchester City – Click here to bet
Crvena Zvezda are bottom of Group G on 1 point from their 5 matches. They lost 2-0 away to Young Boys last time out. That was their first match that they didn’t score a goal in the group stages.
Manchester City are top of Group G with a 100% record and they are guaranteed to finish in first place. They beat RB Leipzig 3-2 at home last time out and all 5 of City’s games have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers with 4 of the 5 reaching the 4 goal mark.
Manchester City beat Crvena Zvezda 3-1 at home in Matchday 1.
City have conceded in 4 of their 5 matches and I am going to back both teams to find the net here.
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 5/6
Dortmund v PSG – Click here to bet
Dortmund currently top Group F on 10 points, 3 points ahead of PSG in 2nd, Newcastle and AC Milan are both lurking in the background on 5 points each, so PSG have plenty to play for.
The hosts have won their last 3 matches and last time out beat AC Milan 3-1 away. Their last home game was a 2-0 win over Newcastle.
PSG drew 1-1 with Newcastle at home last time out, but on the road they have lost to AC Milan and Newcastle.
When these sides met in Matchday 1 it was PSG that came out on top 2-0 at home.
At first glance, it is surprising to see PSG priced as 9/10 favourites, but motivation means a lot in football and I think the bookies are spot on with this one.
Suggested Bet: PSG win at 9/10

Newcastle v AC Milan – Click here to bet
These sides have to hope that Dortmund beat PSG or in Newcastle’s case at least the pair play to a draw and Newcastle are able to improve their goal difference. AC Milan’s goal difference is 5 worse than PSG so it is unlikely that they could progress on level points.
Newcastle’s last game was a 1-1 draw at PSG. At home this season they lost 1-0 to Dortmund and beat PSG 4-1.
AC Milan have only won 1 of their 5 matches and that was at home to PSG in their penultimate start. Last time out they went down 3-1 at home to Dortmund and on the road they have lost 3-0 to PSG and drawn 0-0 with Dortmund.
When these sides met in Matchday 1 in Milan the game finished goalless.
Newcastle are coming off a heavy defeat in the English Premier League to Tottenham, but I think they had 1 eye on this fixture and I am backing them to get the 3 points.
Suggested Bet: Newcastle United win at 9/10
Atlético Madrid v Lazio – Click here to bet
Madrid are currently top of Group B on 11 points, 1 point ahead of Lazio in 2nd. They will finish in that order if Atlético Madrid avoid defeat in this game.
Atlético haven’t been defeated in their 5 matches and last time out beat Feyenoord 3-1 on the road. At home they have beaten Celtic 6-0 and Feyenoord 3-2.
Lazio suffered just 1 defeat and that was away to Feyenoord, but they have won their last 2 matches at home to Celtic and Feyenoord.
When these sides met in Lazio in Matchday 1 the game finished 1-1.
Atlético Madrid are priced as 5/8 favourites with Lazio 9/2 and the draw 16/5.
Both teams have found the back of the net in 4 out of the 5 Atlético Madrid matches and I am happy to take the 1/1 that, that stat becomes 5 out of 6.
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 1/1
