The midweek Champions League games offer a mixed pot for football betting fans. Two of the games are sure blowouts that will only see their upcoming games as formalities. The other two are close fights that can be decided by a goal or two.
Both sets offer intriguing betting odds for the discerning punter, so let’s get straight to the good bits!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Juventus (March 8, 03:45 GMT+8)
Tottenham welcome Juventus to Wembley with an aggregate advantage in away goals. We can be sure that Massimo Allegri will tweak his 4-3-3 a bit in order to score goals and take back the advantage.
Eric Dier and the rest of the Spurs defence will be doing a lot of defensive work in order to keep Gonzalo Higuain and the Serie A from scoring goals. Meanwhile, Harry Kane will just keep doing what he does best: score goals.
I see the Spurs holding off the Old Lady to a draw and making it through to the quarter-finals. My first tip is a 🌟🌟 for Juventus +0.25 @ 2.02.
Liverpool vs FC Porto (March 7, 03:45 GMT+8)
Liverpool basically sent away the entire Estadio Do Dragao angry after Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino piled goal after goal in the first leg.
I think it’s fair to say that Anfield expects a similar showing from their favourite Reds. Sergio Conceicao will surely organize his lads that their hosts won’t litter the pitch with their shattered pride. However, I don’t think Porto can contain Liverpool’s sheer quality.
I think we can expect two more goals from the Reds, so my second tip is Liverpool -1.25 @ 2.14 for a confident 🌟🌟🌟.
Manchester City vs FC Basel 1893 (March 8, 03:45 GMT +8)
Manchester City is bound to the next round like their English compatriots, and it’s not hard to see why. With players like Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus ready to score at the drop of a hat, we can only pray that Basel don’t get embarrassed too much.
Raphael Wicky will try to mount a resistance with his team, but I don’t see Pep Guardiola tripping here of all places. This is a second 🌟🌟🌟 for Manchester City -2.00 @ 1.71.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Real Madrid (March 7, 03:45 GMT+8)
PSG come into this game with a one-goal deficit, so they need every top player they can find if they want to progress through to the next round.
They will surely face a hungry Real Madrid team that hasn’t seen any success on the home front. Cristiano Ronaldo will surely take a lot of attention at Parc des Princes as the rest of the team will also be hell-bent on bouncing back.
While the loss of Neymar stings for Unai Emery, he still has outstanding attacking talent in Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe. All he needs to do is make sure Portugal’s finest son won’t be able to do anything.
I predict an all-out battle that could wind down to pens. Real Madrid +0.25 @ 2.17 is worth 🌟🌟 for me.
