There are 8 Champions League matches taking place on Wednesday and we select 3 of them to bet on.
OLYMPIACOS v MANCHESTER CITY – Click here to bet
Olympiacos are on 3 points in Group C, 6 points behind leaders Manchester City. They opened their group stages campaign with a 1-0 home win over Marseille, but subsequently lost to Porto and City on the road by 2-0 and 3-0 respectively.
City are battling domestically and are coming off a defeat to Tottenham on the weekend, but they are going well in Europe with a 100% record having scored 3 goals in each of their matches. Last time out they beat Olympiacos 3-0 at home and their only away game was a 3-0 win over Marseilles.
BETTING
Olympiacos 37/4
Draw 19/4
Manchester City 3/10
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 21/20
I expect this to be quite an open game and City’s defence hasn’t impressed me of late and I think we could have both teams finding the back of the net.
INTER MILAN v REAL MADRID – Click here to bet
Group B is extremely competitive with Monchengladbach currently on 5 points from Shakhtar Donetsk and Real Madrid on 4 and Inter bringing up the rear on 2 points.
Intern’s only home game was a 2-2 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach and they then drew 0-0 away to Shakhtar and lost 3-2 on the road to Real Madrid.
Madrid’s matches have been high scoring with all 3 of them having 4 goals or more in them and after an opening 3-2 home loss to Shakhtar they bounced back with a 2-2 draw against Monchengladbach and then that 3-2 win over Inter at home.
BETTING
Inter Milan 23/20
Draw 28/10
Real Madrid 22/10
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 5/4
Matches these sides are involved in tend to have goals and there have been 9 goals in Inter’s first 3 matches which includes a goalless draw and 14 goals in Real Madrid’s matches to date.
LIVERPOOL v ATALANTA – Click here to bet
Liverpool top Group D with 9 points from their opening 3 games. They had no problem seeing off Atalanta 5-0 on the road last time out and their only home game was a 2-0 win over Midtjylland.
Atalanta sit 3rd on the log on 4 points having started well with a 4-0 away win over Midtjylland followed by a 2-2 home draw against Ajax. The 5-0 defeat to Liverpool put things in to perspective though and they go into this game as underdogs.
BETTING
Liverpool 7/10
Draw 7/2
Atalanta 7/2
Suggested Bet: Under 2.5 goals at 19/10
This is a speculative play especially given Liverpool at home are usually prolific, but with a long injury list I think they may step off the gas somewhat in this game and we could get a result similar to the 2-0 home win they had over Midtjylland last time they played here at Anfield.
