The Champions League is back, and online betting is more intense than ever as the remaining football heavyweights take the field with only one goal in mind – win.
There are a lot to expect in this week’s fixtures, and these betting tips will get you covered on what is about to happen.
PSG vs Barcelona (February 15, 03:45 GMT+8)
Marco Verratti’s availability will give Paris Saint-Germain some boost, though it won’t change the fact that they are heavy underdogs in this fixture.
It remains to be seen what impact the absence of Aleix Vidal will have in Barcelona, but with Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar on target in their recent game, they are well-poised to draw first blood as the Champions League returns.
Edinson Cavani and Angel di Maria could provide the French giants with some firepower. However, the fact that they weren’t able to beat the Spanish giants in the 2015 version of the competition isn’t encouraging. Thus, my first 🌟🌟🌟 tip is on Barca Asian Handicap -0.25 @ 1.88.
Benfica vs Borussia Dortmund (February 15, 03:45 GMT+8)
Dortmund clearly bears the label of the favourites in this battle, especially after firing 21 goals and going undefeated in the group stage that also includes Real Madrid. The return of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and their resurgence in the Bundesliga will also do well for them as they eye to continue their brilliant run.
Benfica, on the other hand, don’t have much to boast following their not-so-impressive qualification in the last 16, but their new-found energy on offence – having scored 13 in their last five league games – is something to look forward to.
I predict this match to be close, but Dortmund Asian Handicap -0.25 @ 2.07 seems a logical 🌟🌟 bet.
Real Madrid vs Napoli (February 16, 03:45 GMT+8)
Although Zinedine Zidane and his Los Blancos have more depth and quality, they still can’t count the Serie A title chasers out.
Napoli are unbeaten in 18 games in all competitions, and they will be a difficult team to handle with the midfield trio of Dries Mertens, Marek Hamsik, and Lorenzo Insigne combining for 32 goals overall. Striker Jose Callejon is also there to make their frontline even more formidable. Hence, Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. need more than just confidence if they want to pull off the victory.
The Italian club have the advantage given the handicap, so a 🌟🌟 bet on Napoli +1.25 should pay at 1.75.
Bayern Munich vs Arsenal (February 16, 03:45 GMT+8)
Two of the most successful clubs in Europe meeting in one of the biggest competitions is truly a feast for the eyes. Nonetheless, with a lot of uncertainties surrounding Arsenal – coupled with their recent skid in the Premier League – this meeting might just not live up to the hype.
The in-form Bavarians are also on fire as they stay undefeated for almost three months now, and the Gunners might not have enough ammo to counter the trouble that Robert Lewandowski and Arjen Robben will bring to them.
I expect the German champions to fire home and pull away early, so Bayern First Half 1X2 @ 2.08 is my 🌟 tip.
