Tuesday's best Champions League bets
Ajax odds | -275 |
Benfica odds | +600 |
Draw odds | +450 |
Over/under 2.5 goals odds | -300/+240 |
Ajax are the favorite to beat Benfica at the Johan Cruyiff Arena on Tuesday.
But the Dutch team has hardly been at its best defensively lately. They recently needed a stoppage time goal from Ryan Gravenberch to restore their lead and win 3-2 against Cambuur.
A week prior, they had to come back from two goals down to beat RKC Waalwijk 3-2, a result that came just a week after they were beaten 2-1 by Go Ahead Eagles.
Their opponents are in good form lately, however, despite a 1-1 draw against Vizela at the weekend.
As a result, rolling with Benfica as a surprise underdog pick could be the right move if you're feeling adventurous.
And with both teams looking to get the result over the line, they could come at each other again on Tuesday and backing over 2.5 goals at odds of -300 looks a smart bet.
Manchester United odds | +115 |
Atletico Madrid odds | +275 |
Draw odds | +210 |
Over/under 2.5 goals odds | +120/-150 |
Manchester United registered their first win in four games at the weekend as they beat Tottenham 3-2 thanks to a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick.
Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, have won all three of their matches since the 1-1 draw with United in the Spanish capital.
The two teams were evenly matched in the first leg and could be impossible to separate at the end of 90 minutes this time around, too.
At odds of +210, betting these two teams to draw and be forced to take the tie into extra-time is an enticing choice.
Wednesday's best Champions League bets
Juventus odds | -106 |
Villarreal odds | +320 |
Draw odds | +240 |
Over/under 2.5 goals | +110/-138 |
Juventus are on a four-game winning run since they were held to a draw at Villarreal.
The Spanish side, meanwhile, remain fairly inconsistent and sit in seventh place in La Liga.
Despite the injury problems facing Massimiliano Allegri's team, the home side is favorited to progress to the quarterfinals of the competition and look worthy of making it five consecutive victories.
You can get favorable odds of -106 for Juventus to win the second-leg and thus the tie.
Lille odds | +320 |
Chelsea odds | -110 |
Draw odds | +250 |
Over/under 2.5 goals odds | -110/-110 |
It has been a difficult period for Chelsea for off-field reasons, but Thomas Tuchel's team remains strong throughout the adversity.
The Blues have a big advantage from the first-leg after winning 2-0 at Stamford Bridge and will be confident of finishing the job in France.
Chelsea have won all of the last four matches, while Lille were held to a goalless draw against Saint-Etienne on Friday.
Chelsea should prove too strong for the Ligue 1 team once again and may prove impenetrable once again, so odds of -106 against both teams scoring make it a good bet.
