Bayern Munich v PSG
Bayern Munich took an invaluable lead in the away leg beating PSG 1-0. The game was level at the break, but Coman Kingsley scored the winner for Bayern in the 53rd minute.
Bayern Munich have won 6 and lost 1 of their last 7 matches. That defeat coming three starts back away at Borussia Mönchengladbach in the League. They warmed up for this fixture with a 2-1 away win over Stuttgart.
PSG have it all to do going into this fixture against the second favourites, but they looked good in the League on the weekend beating Nantes 4-2 at home. That was their 3rd successive League win having broken a run of 3 successive losses across all competitions.

Bayern Munich 5/6
Draw 33/10
PSG 28/10
Despite a low scoring first leg, over 2.5 goals is priced very short here at 9/20 and I won’t be arguing with that as I think with PSG forced to come forward there are going to be plenty of opportunities probably at both ends. The value for me here though has to lie with Bayern Munich to win the game at 5/6.
Suggested Bet: Bayern Munich Win at 5/6

Tottenham v AC Milan
Tottenham are 1-0 down after the first leg having conceded a 7th minute goal to AC Milan, a deficit they failed to claw back.
Tottenham are in indifferent form domestically having lost 1-0 away to Wolves on the weekend and before that they went out of the FA Cup 1-0 at Sheffield United. Tottenham’s last 5 games across all competitions have seen under 2.5 goal backers collect profits.
AC Milan saw a 4 match winning run across all competitions ended on the weekend when they went down 2-1 at Fiorentina, but it is probably safe to say they had one eye firmly on this fixture. The 2-1 loss broke a 5 match run of games which had failed to reach the 3 goal mark.

Tottenham 1/1
Draw 26/10
AC Milan 28/10
Once again I am expecting a very different second leg here as Tottenham will be forced to go after the game and this could well open up the match at some point. Both teams to score, yes, is trading at 17/20, but I haven’t been convinced of Spurs of late and I think the value here is to oppose them and I am going to get AC Milan to either get the draw or win the game by backing them on the handicap.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, AC Milan +0.5 goals at 17/20
