To further emphasise their devastation in-front of goal this year, leading scorer, Edinson Cavani, has 19 goals in 16 across competitions, including a brace in a 4-1 demolition of Nantes in the league on the weekend. Here we bring you all the Champions League betting odds you need.
PSG’s opponents on Wednesday, Celtic, might be similarly placed in domestic terms (both sides hold a six-point advantage at the top of their respective tables), but we can’t see past anything other than a PSG win. Against a Celtic side that had to grind out a 1-0 win against Ross County on Saturday, PSG will hope for a repeat performance of their 5-0 win earlier in the competition, unsurprisingly 5/6 ON to score over 3.5 goals.
After a torrid week for keeper, Gianluigi Buffon, which saw Italy fail to qualify for a World Cup for the first time in sixty years and his Juventus side slump to a 3-2 defeat to Sampdoria in the league, Barcelona are probably the last team he’d want to face. That being said, he’ll hope for a repeat performance of last year’s Champions League quarter finals, as Juventus still have work to do to qualify. Incredibly, Buffon has never won the Champions League.
Chelsea will be buoyed by back-to-back wins in the league in recent weeks, as they look to confirm their place in the last 16 on the road to FC Qarabag. In contrast, group C rivals Atletico Madrid host Roma, in a stadium that has felt far from home this season. Last year’s semi-finalists simply must win to keep their hopes alive.
Noisy neighbours, Real, will look to bounce back from their first defeat in the Champions League group stages since October 2012 against a resilient Apoel Nicosia side that took a surprise point home from their trip to Dortmund last time out. For Real, the defeat to Spurs was also their biggest margin of defeat at the group stage since November 2008.
Much alike both the Madrid sides, that sit 10 points adrift of Barcelona at the top of La Liga after a goalless draw on Saturday, Liverpool have been somewhat inconsistent in the league this year. One player that has shone for them though, is Egyptian, Mohamed Salah.
A dreamy week saw the 25-year old fire Egypt to their first World Cup finals since 1990, before bagging a pair of goals in the league in a 3-0 win against Southampton. We think he could be the difference as Liverpool look to avenge Sevilla, who beat them in last year’s Europa League final.
Now the leading scorer in the Premier League, Salah has also only been outscored by Ronaldo and Kane in the Champions League this season, and looks an absolute steal at 23/20 ON to score anytime. With Spartak Moscow three points adrift of the Reds already, 3rd in Group E, a win should all but guarantee Liverpool a place in the knockout stages for the first time since their 2008-2009 campaign.
