UEFA Champions league continues on Tuesday and we pick out 3 of the 8 matches to have a bet on.
SHAKHTAR DONETSK V INTER MILAN – Click here to bet
This is one of the early kick-offs and Shakhtar will be looking to build on an impressive display last week when they beat Real Madrid 3-2 on the road. They were also at home in the League this weekend drawing 1-1 with Vorskla Poltava.
Inter played out a 2-2 draw against Borussia Monchengladbach in their first match last week and this is clearly going to be a very competitive group especially with Real Madrid playing below form at the moment. Inter warmed up for this match with a 2-0 away win over Genoa in the League.
These sides met as recently as August of this year when Inter Milan beat Shakhtar 5-0 in the semi-finals of the Europa League.
BETTING
Shakhtar Donetsk 61/20
Draw 59/20
Inter Milan 8/10
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 14/10
Both of these sides played in high scoring fixtures in Round 1 and Shakhtar Donetsk in particular are often involved in high scoring fixtures.
MARSEILLE v MANCHESTER CITY – Click here to bet
Marseille were beaten 1-0 on the road by Olympiacos in their opening fixture and domestically they are coming off a 1-0 away win over Lorient.
Manchester City overcame a tricky opponent in Porto in their opening game winning 3-1 at home and in the English Premier League they were held to a 1-1 draw away at West Ham.
BETTING
Marseille 13/2
Draw 17/4
Manchester City 4/10
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Manchester City (-1) at 1/1
City give me the impression of a side that are focussing on securing qualification quickly and I think they will be too strong for this Marseille team and can win by more than a goal.
LIVERPOOL v MIDTJYLLAND – Click here to bet
Liverpool got off to a strong start with a 1-0 away win over Ajax last week. They also had a 2-1 home win over Sheffield United in the League on the weekend.
Midtjylland had to come through the qualification to make the group stages of the competition and in their first game they were totally outclassed by Atalanta at home losing 4-0. They did bounce back in the League this weekend winning 3-2 on the road at Borondy.
BETTING
Liverpool 1/8
Draw 33/4
Midtjylland 17/1
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Liverpool (-2) at 17/20
For this bet to arrive we need Liverpool to win by 3 goals or more and given that Atalanta beat this team by 4 on the road, it should be very much within Liverpool’s reach.
