Twente v Atletico Madrid – Atletico Madrid to win & over 1.5 goals
Champions League match at the De Grolsch Veste, Enschede, 5:45pm
TV: Disney+
Things are not going to plan for either side in the Champions League this season. Hosts Twente have drawn two and lost one so far, while Atletico Madrid have won one and lost two.
The silver lining here, however, is that both teams are in pretty good form overall. The hosts have won three and drawn two of their last five at home, scoring 14 and conceding five.
The away side have also won three and drawn two over their last five, scoring a monster 17 goals while conceding just two. The travelling side should be outscoring the hosts here. Atleti to win and over 2.5 goals has plenty of value here.
Chelsea v Barcelona – Both teams to score & over 2.5 goals
Champions League match at Stamford Bridge, London, 8pm
TV: Disney+
Barcelona have won all of their League Phase game so far, scoring 14 goals and conceding just one, and are heavy favourites to win at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have won two and drawn one so far, scoring 11 and also conceding just one. The hosts are in excellent form on home soil, winning nine of their last 10.
Barca have won five of their six total away games this season, and amazingly have only scored fewer than four goals in one of those away games.
With such impressive goal-scoring numbers, both teams to score & over 2.5 goals is the play for this.
Leuven v Roma – Over 2.5 goals
Champions League match at Den Dreef, Heverlee, 8pm
TV: Disney+
Leuven have won one, drawn one, and lost one so far in the Champions League, while Roma is second from bottom with three losses and just two goals scored to 11 conceded.
The hosts have played a total of five home games this season but are unbeaten, with three wins and two draws, scoring seven goals and conceding four.
Roma have played seven away games this season, winning four and losing three, but we can’t dismiss them here, primarily as they’ve scored at least two goals in all of those seven fixtures. Overs has to be the pick.
PSG v Bayern Munich – Over 2.5 goals
Champions League match at Parc des Princes, Paris, 8pm
TV: Disney+
PSG’s Champions League form has been rather underwhelming. They’ve lost all three of their matches so far, scoring just two while conceding eight.
Bayern Munich have won two so far, lost one, scored six, and conceded an eye-watering 10 goals, 7 coming when they lost 7-1 away to Barcelona.
Both sides are in decent form, though. The hosts have won four and lost one of their last five at home, scoring 13 and conceding four. The hosts have also won four and lost one over their last five on the road, scoring 15 while conceding eight.
With both teams scoring and conceding plenty, Over 2.5 makes the best sense.
