Sevilla vs Arsenal: Both teams to score (7/10)
Arsenal have won one and lost one in the Champions League so far, leaving them with work to do in Group B.
Sevilla, meanwhile, have taken two points from their first two matches, so a win for either team here would put them in a solid position at the midway stage of the group phase.
The Spanish side lost their first three matches of the La Liga season, as well as suffering defeat by Manchester City on penalties in the UEFA Super Cup.
But they have lost only one of their last eight matches in all competitions - and that was a narrow defeat by Barcelona.
Real Madrid could only manage a 1-1 draw at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan at the weekend, so Arsenal will not have everything their own way on Tuesday.
Newcastle United vs Borussia Dortmund: Newcastle to win (8/11)
It is easy to forget now, but Newcastle endured a poor start to the Premier League season.
A record of three defeats in their first four matches left the Magpies with ground to make up, but an excellent run of form since then means Eddie Howe’s side are now on the cusp of the Champions League qualification spots.
Newcastle are not just around to make up the numbers in this year’s competition, as they demonstrated with a stunning 4-1 thrashing of Paris Saint-Germain on matchday two.
PSG could not live with Newcastle’s energy and intensity that night, and Borussia Dortmund may also struggle to cope with the hosts at St James’ Park.
A win here would make it seven points from nine for Eddie Howe’s team - and we fancy them to emerge triumphant.
Barcelona vs Shakhtar Donetsk: Barcelona to win to nil (5/6)
Two games, two wins and two clean sheets for Barcelona have left the Catalan club sitting pretty at the top of Group H.
After exiting the Champions League before the knockout phase in 2021/22 and 2022/23, Barcelona look primed to return to the last 16 this time around.
Under Xavi Hernandez Barcelona have become an excellent defensive team. They conceded only 20 goals on the way to the La Liga title last term, and neither Antwerp nor Porto was able to score against them in matchday one or two of this competition.
Shakhtar Donetsk have notched four goals already in Group H, but they too will struggle to breach Barcelona’s backline this week.
Another home win and defensive shut-out looks like the way to go here.
Add the following two bets to make it a 5-fold acca.
Manchester United vs Copenhagen: Man Utd to score in both halves (Evens)
Manchester United remain unconvincing, but they at least managed to pick up another three points in the Premier League at the weekend.
On the balance of chances created at Bramall Lane, last-placed Sheffield United arguably deserved a draw at the very least.
But Erik ten Hag’s team ran out 2-1 winners to relieve some of the pressure on the under-fire manager.
United desperately need to follow that victory up with another one in the Champions League. After losses to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray already, the Red Devils can ill-afford another slip-up.
Thankfully, a home game against Copenhagen should be negotiated without too much difficulty.
Feyenoord vs Lazio: Over 2.5 goals (4/6)
Celtic are rooted to the foot of the Group E table but there is only one point separating the other three teams, two of whom are Feyenoord and Lazio.
The Italian side have left it late in both of their games so far, scoring in second-half stoppage time to equalise against Atletico Madrid and then beat Celtic.
Feyenoord were edged out by Atletico last time out, having defeated Brendan Rodgers’ men on matchday one.
With Atleti the favourites to finish top of this section, the upcoming double-header between these two teams will go a long way to determining the outcome of the group.
There were five goals in Feyenoord’s last Champions League game and three in Lazio’s, so this promises to be an entertaining encounter.
