Wednesday’s Champions League tips: Wins for Liverpool, Dortmund and PSG?
Published:
Odds and previews for tonight’s fixtures
The Champions League continues apace tonight, with another evening of quality continental football on the cards.
Tottenham Hotspur seek their first European win of the campaign away at PSV. There’s a full match preview of that one here.
Stay put though, as we bring you the key odds and info for four of tonight’s other heavyweight contests…
Liverpool v Crvena Zvezda
Jurgen Klopp is still battling injury gremlins among his team. There’ll be no Jordan Henderson or Naby Keita at Anfield tonight.
Sadio Mane could return, however. Either way, the Reds should be far too strong for Crvena Zvezda (Red Star) at 1/14 tonight.
The Merseyside outfit have conceded only eight goals all season. They’re 4/7 to win to nil, and 27/20 on the -3 handicap. Daniel Sturridge could get another start tonight, and is 3/1 to score first.
Barcelona v Inter Milan
Tottenham have a vested interest in this one. Ideally they want Barcelona to beat Inter home and away.
But Lionel Messi’s absence doesn’t help Spurs or Barca. The Argentine superstar is out with a fractured arm.
The La Liga giants remain favourites at 1/2, with Inter 5/1. The Serie A side will fancy themselves though, having won seven on the spin.
Barca are unbeaten in their last 27 home games in the Champions League, however. They’re 2/1 to win with both teams to score. Luis Suarez is 3/1 favourite to score first, with Mauro Icardi 15/2.
Borussia Dortmund v Atletico Madrid
Between them, these two sides have reached the Champions League final three times since 2013, and so far they are dominating Group A, with six points apiece.
This should be a fascinating encounter. Lucien Favre’s Dortmund have been a free-scoring joy this term, netting 35 goals in their 10 games.
They’ve hit 26 in their last six, but can they break down a notoriously resolute Atletico? There’s 6/4 about a Dortmund win, 21/10 for a draw and 9/5 about Diego Simeone’s visitors.
Paco Alcacer can’t stop scoring this season, and sits alongside Antoine Griezmann as 9/2 favourite to score first.
Paris Saint-Germain v Napoli
As with Spurs having eyes on Barcelona v Inter, so might Liverpool be keeping tabs on PSG’s home game with Napoli.
Group C is wide open following Liverpool’s loss in Naples, but the Italian side have only won two of their last eight away games in the competition.
PSG have won six straight games since losing at Anfield, scoring a mighty 26 times on the way, and are 8/15 favourites. Napoli are 5/1 outsiders.
Can the Serie A outfit stop Neymar and Kylian Mbappe? The duo share 7/2 favouritism to score first tonight, with the latter already netting 11 times in just eight games this term.
