DORTMUND V MILAN
A pivotal game in Group F as both these teams need to win this game if they stand any chance of causing an upset and making it to the next phase. Dortmund managed to win away from home against Hoffenheim, whilst Milan controlled proceedings against Lazio who didn’t have a response to Milan’s pressure and intensity. Rafael Leao’s speed presented both goals as he assisted both Pulisic and Okafor as they continued their march to the top of the Serie A table.
The atmosphere will surely be electric as the Yellow Wall roars their team to go and get a result in a very difficult game. This season might be a tough one for Dortmund, they are not playing great football but the Champions League could easily get the best out of players and play some outstanding football.
The odds are slightly favoring the home side, Dortmund sit at 2.40 to win whilst AC Milan come in at 2.85. The danger man and creator in chief is Rafael Leao and he will do his best to amend for overplaying in the final third against Newcastle, we are pricing him to score anytime during the game at 3.50 with Youssoufa Moukoko at 3.40. A 1-1 draw is valued at 6.50.
NEWCASTLE V PSG
A somewhat disappointing start to the Ligue 1 for Luis Enrique as his side sit fifth after winning three, drawing three and losing one in the opening few games. Although the focus for PSG has always been performing well in the Champions League and on that front they have done great so far, winning 2-0 against Dortmund, next up a trip to the iconic St’ James’ Park. Newcastle will be prepared for an onslaught as they did against Milan and hope they can create something on the counter attack. Miguel Almiron scored an absolute stunner against Burnley in the weekend, the Paraguayan is a true inspiration for anyone watching him.
Any player within the Newcastle ranks would have dreamt of playing against the likes of AC Milan and PSG in the Champions League and this will become reality for some. The odds are slightly favoring a Newcastle win, as LV BET price it at 2.50, whilst a PSG win is at 2.65. Newcastle were great against Milan to thwart their efforts but it will be a tough ask to do it again against a very formidable opponent like PSG.
We are pricing a PSG first goal at 1.98 and a 2-1 win for the away side at 9.50.
NAPOLI V REAL MADRID
The opening encounter for both teams was awkward and although they both managed to win, their efforts were far from convincing. Napoli, traveled to Portugal to face Braga, after taking the lead in the first half stoppage time, they failed to add to the tally. In the 88th minute the Portuguese side equalised but shortly after Niakate scored an own goal to restore Napoli’s advantage. A similar story was observed between Real Madrid and Union Berlin, who managed to mitigate the amount of pressure on their goal. At the end, it was all too much for them in the dying moments as the inevitable Jude Bellingham scored the winner.
The last time these two sides met was back in 2016/17, when the Spanish giants won home and away with an identical scoreline, 3-1. Napoli are yet to record a win against the record holders, this coming fixtures represents one of the best occasions in a long time. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been turning on the style once again in the Serie A, providing some excellent assists for Viktor Osimhen and blessing us with some godly touches, he’s a one to watch.
Real Madrid always put on a show in the Champions League and we will surely be tuned in for it. Joselu & Bellingham are fostering a nice relationship which is proving to be vital for Los Blancos. We are pricing Joselu to score anytime at 3.25, whilst Viktor Osmihen to wow the home crowd at 2.35. For total goals of over 2.50 at 1.70 and over 8 corners at 1.45.
