Champions League betting tips - Matchday two
Our betting experts have picked out their favourite Champions League bets for the upcoming round of matches, with a focus on the Premier League competitors.
Arsenal vs Lille
(8pm, TNT Sports 1)
Arsenal struggled to get going for large parts of Saturday’s win over Leeds, but should have an easier time of it when old boy Olivier Giroud brings his Lille side to the Emirates Stadium.
asserted
Giroud → pick → Stadium
Lille conceded three at home in their first Champions League outing and while their defensive record in the French top flight is better, they were breached twice by Paris Saint-Germain.
asserted
they → concede → Germain
The Gunners have won their last 13 league-phase games, but there’s little value in backing them just to win at odds of 1/4.
asserted
Gunners → win → 1/4
Arsenal have kept a clean sheet in 18 of the last 24 home European games and could shut out Lille here.
uncertain
Arsenal → keep → Lille
A shut out coupled with Arsenal’s lacking of attacking fluency at times this season suggests a low scoring home win.
uncertain
shut → shut → win
Best bet: Arsenal & under 3.5 goals - 11/10 (Sky Bet)
Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United
(8pm, Prime Video)
The bookies aren’t expecting much from United in this one with all the major football betting sites making Atletico Madrid odds-on favourites.
asserted
Madrid → expect → favourites
Michael Carrick’s side are enduring their worst start to a season in 40 years and they’ve yet to win away from home.
asserted
they → endure → home
Atletico have won four on the spin in the league, including a 2-1 victory over city rivals Real, but were beaten 2-1 by Liverpool in their opening Champions League tie, part of a run of poor results against Premier League opposition.
asserted
Atletico → win → opposition
This isn’t the same Atleti side that would grind out wins in the past though with the goals forthcoming at both ends in recent Champions League matches, while United have given up chances freely and could have lost Saturday’s clash with Tottenham had Spurs not been so wasteful.
uncertain
Spurs → grind → Tottenham
…and 35 more, not listed.
