I was expecting this line to be 3.5, so I’ll gladly pay a little juice at this number. Club Brugge is coming off a 7-0 victory against STVV in the Belgian Pro League and they’ve scored two or more goals in four of their past six games across all competitions. Celtic can also score in bunches, scoring two or more goals in six consecutive games in all competitions. Celtic has scored eight goals in their first two UCL games at Celtic Park, so give me Over 2.5 at -145.

Bologna have yet to score in this completion and now they’ll take on a Lille side that has beaten the likes of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid already in UCL play. Lille are unbeaten in their 11 matches across all competitions, while Bologna have won just once in their last eight fixtures at home. The safer play here is Lille +0.5 or Lille draw no bet, but the value we’re getting at +225 is too good to pass up in my opinion.

Don’t look now, but Atletico Madrid have won five straight games across all competitions, which includes a 2-1 victory on the road at PSG in their last UCL fixture. The Spanish side will be tested in this one but I expect them to control the pace of play and generate ample scoring opportunities against a Sparta Praha side that has conceded eight goals through their first four matches in the Champions League. Atletico Madrid has the talent advantage in this match and I'm backing Diego Simeone’s side to record all three points on Tuesday.

You’re not going to see this price often with this Liverpool side. The Reds are firing on all cylinders under new manager Arne Slot, winning seven straight across all competitions. RB Leipzig have lost both UCL matches this season, so they’ll be desperate for a positive result. The German side will find it tough to break down Liverpool's backline. who've conceded just three goals in the Premier League. The quality of Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez lead the Reds to victory on the road.

Juventus haven't lost a match across all competitions this season and have won three of their last four overall. Vfb Stuttgart, meanwhile, are winless in their past four matches in all competitions, most recently losing 4-0 at Bayern Munich on Saturday. I’m backing Juventus to secure all three points behind an attack that has scored 11 goals over its last six games, which includes a 3-1 thrashing against PSV at home in UCL action.

Villa Park proved to be an extremely tough place to play when Aston Villa defeated Bayern Munich in UCL action on Oct. 2. Aston Villa are coming off an impressive 3-1 win against Fulham in league play, the seventh time the Villans have scored at least two goals in their nine matches across all competitions. Bologna have won just one their previous 10 matches and they’ve yet to score in two Champions League fixtures. Villa wins comfortably at home.

This Bayern Munich side is firing on all cylinders with Vincent Kompany at the helm. Bayern are unbeaten across all competitions this season. They’re coming off their first draw of the campaign, a 1-1 stalemate against defending league champions Bayer Leverkusen, so they'll be eager to get back to winning ways. Kompany knows what it takes to win in England having captained Manchester City in his playing career, so I’m backing the German side to collect all three points on the road.

RB Salzburg suffered a 3-0 defeat in the opener of this competition, but I expect the Austrian side to get back on track on Tuesday. RB Salzburg are unbeaten in their past three matches following the defeat against Sparta Praha, recording a clean sheet in all three fixtures. Brest, meanwhile, sit 13th in the Ligue 1 standings after conceding 13 goals in their first six league games. Look for RB Salzburg to control the pace of play and secure all three points in front of their home fans.

This Barcelona side is fun to watch under manager Hansi Flick. Barcelona have opened La Liga play with five consecutive wins, scoring 17 goals in the process. Monaco are having a good start to their Ligue 1 season as well, but I expect Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal to prove too much for the French side on Thursday.

Real Madrid have won by at least two goals in three of their last four matches, a trend I expect to continue against VfB Stuttgart on Tuesday. Los Blancos have kept a clean sheet in each of those three victories and they’ve yet to concede a goal at the Santiago Bernabéu in La Liga play.

Dortmund have done well to reach the final, but Real Madrid feature an array of talent that will be too much. Vinicius Jr. has recorded five goals and four assists in this competition and his pace and creativity will likely be the difference. Englishman Jude Bellingham was named La Liga’s Player of the Year in his first season in Madrid after racking up 19 goals and six assists and he’ll be facing his former team on soccer’s biggest stage. Plus, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is the winningest coach in UCL history, so he knows what it takes in a final. I expect the combination of experience and overall talent will be the difference as Real Madrid hoists the trophy at Wembley.

Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last eight matches against Bayern Munich in Champions League play, winning six of those meetings. The two sides settled for a 2-2 draw in the first leg, but I think Real Madrid’s experience at this stage will be too difficult for the visitors on Wednesday. Real Madrid have yet to lose on home soil this season and they’ve outscored their opposition 15-5 over their last five games across all competitions at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Real Madrid are the most decorated club in Champions League history, but I expect Manchester City to secure the win at home. Man City battled Real Madrid to a 3-3 draw on the road in the first leg and they did so without superstar Kevin De Bruyne. Pep Guardiola’s side has scored 16 goals in their last four matches across all competitions and they’ve conceded just twice in their past four games at the Etihad. Man City recorded a 4-0 home win against Real Madrid in the UCL last season and I think they’ll do enough to claim victory again on Wednesday.

Atletico Madrid have been tough to beat on home soil this season and they’re coming off a thrilling 2-1 win at home over Inter Milan in the second leg of the Round of 16 tie. Borussia Dortmund have been inconsistent at best this season, which has BVB sitting in fifth place in the Bundesliga standings. With the second leg away at Dortmund’s hostile environment, I expect Antoine Griezmann and Memphis Depay to lead Atletico Madrid to victory in a tightly contested bout on home soil.

Arsenal have had trouble with Bayern Munich in the Champions League over the years, but the Gunners are playing well under Mikel Arteta ahead of Tuesday’s clash. Arsenal are unbeaten in their last seven matches across all competitions and they’ve kept a clean sheet in four straight games, which includes a 0-0 draw at Manchester City. Bayern are reeling after losing two straight in league play and Thomas Tuchel’s men suffered a 1-0 setback against Lazio in their last road match in this competition. I like the Gunners to win this one and take an advantage back to Munich for the second leg.
