class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Europa League holders visit London on matchday one of the Champions League and we are backing Julen Lopetegui's men to claim a positive result

Chelsea play their first match in this season’s Champions League on Tuesday evening when they welcome La Liga side Sevilla to Stamford Bridge.

The Blues come into the clash having conceded late on against Southampton to draw 3-3 on Saturday in the Premier League, and there continues to remain question marks about the team’s defensive solidity.

Sevilla for their part, suffered their first defeat in 26 matches at the weekend as they went down 1-0 at regional rivals Granada.

Chelsea vs Sevilla Latest Odds

The Blues have only lost one home group game in the Champions League in the last seven years and bet365 price them at evens (2.00) to record a win.

Sevilla’s last group stage trip to England saw them draw 2-2 at Liverpool in 2017 and another stalemate is available at 5/2 (3.50), with an away win at 11/4 (3.75).

Chelsea vs Sevilla Team News

The hosts remain without the services of new goalkeeper Edouard Mendy who is still injured, so Lampard will have to decide whether to bring in Willy Caballero or stick with Kepa Arrizabalaga despite the Spaniard committing another error at the weekend.

Sevilla are without first-choice centre-back Jules Kounde after the Frenchman tested positive for coronavirus. 

Chelsea vs Sevilla Preview

The Blues’ defensive issues are well-documented and the side that conceded 54 Premier League goals last season have begun the current campaign by letting in nine goals in five matches.

Whilst Sevilla are not an overly prolific outfit, they have scored in 19 of their last 22 games in all competitions and should be able to net once more in west London.

Indeed, during their unbeaten run which ended at the weekend, they beat Manchester United, Inter Milan and Roma, while avoiding defeat against Barcelona (twice) and Bayern Munich in 90 minutes.

The visitors to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night are one of the best-coached sides in Europe and they should have enough about them to claim at least a point in their opening game of Group E.

Chelsea vs Sevilla Tips and Predictions

Chelsea have failed to win five of their last six home matches in the Champions League and opposing a home win once more looks tempting.

Sevilla are offered at 43/50 (1.86) to win with a +0.5 Asian handicap a bet which pays out if they avoid defeat and is a selection well worthy of consideration.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The winners of the 2015 Champions League should be able to get off to a winning start but we think Serhiy Rebrov's side will keep the score down

Barcelona play their first Champions League match under new manager Ronald Koeman on Tuesday evening when they welcome Hungarian outfit Ferencvaros to Camp Nou.

The Blaugrana suffered their first defeat of the season on Saturday as they went 1-0 down to Getafe, but are overwhelming favourites to record a victory against the Hungarian champions.

Barcelona vs Ferencvaros Latest Odds

The Catalans have not lost a home group game in the Champions League for 11 years and Ferencvaros are priced at 25/1 (26.00) with bet365 to record what would be a huge shock.

Barca are offered at just 2/25 (1.08) with the draw available at 10/1 (11.00). 

Barcelona vs Ferencvaros Team News

The hosts remain without the services of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and Jordi Alba, while Samuel Umtiti is closing in on a return but is not expected to feature. Miralem Pjanic is also a doubt with a back problem.

Ferencvaros have no injury concerns.

Barcelona vs Ferencvaros Preview

After two impressive wins in their opening two matches of the La Liga campaign, Barcelona’s performances have dropped in their subsequent two games.

There is no doubt that the five-time winners of the Champions League are a far superior team to their opponents, yet they have not quite been firing on all cylinders.

As well, Barca have at struggled to break down the lowest-ranked team from their Champions League group at Camp Nou in recent years.

APOEL Nicosia were beaten only 1-0 in 2014, while BATE Borisov were overcome 3-0 in 2015 and last season saw Slavia Prague claim a 0-0 draw.

Barcelona are likely to win on Tuesday night, but there should be a temptation to oppose them running riot, despite the lowly standing of their opponents.

Barcelona vs Ferencvaros Tips and Predictions

Barca to win and under 3.5 goals in the game is priced at 6/4 (2.50) which might appeal to bolder punters while a home win and under 4.5 goals in the game is available at 8/11 (1.73).

The latter selection has paid out in 15 of Barca’s last 19 home win in the competition and looks like a solid option.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Solksjaer's team missing some key defensive figures, Al Hain-Cole is expecting another high-scoring Champions League encounter with Les Parisiens

Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United will be hoping to get their respective Champions League campaigns off to a strong start when they meet at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday.

Thomas Tuchel’s men enjoyed their best ever performance in last season’s competition, going all the way to the final before losing out to a strong Bayern Munich side.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Manchester United Latest Odds

Having lost just two of their last 21 European home games, they are 11/20 (1.55) favourites with bet365 to get up and running with a win here.

However, the Red Devils are the last team to leave this stadium with a win thanks to their 3-1 last-16 victory in 2019 and can be backed at 9/2 (5.50) to pull off another upset in this one.

Just one of the hosts’ last 15 matches in this competition has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 18/5 (4.60) on them being forced to settle for a single point in this one.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Manchester United Team News

Marco Verratti and Leandro Paredes are ruled out through injury while Thilo Kehrer and Mauro Icardi will face fitness tests, although Neymar is fit to play despite missing Friday’s Ligue 1 win over Nimes.

Eric Bailly, Harry Maguire, Jesse Lingard and Mason Greenwood are all unavailable due to injury, with Edinson Cavani also not fit enough to face his former club due to a lack of match fitness.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Manchester United Preview

With defensive absentees mounting and having conceded 12 goals in their opening four Premier League games this season, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men will be bracing themselves for a trip to the French capital.

Les Parisiens have scored 15 times in their four most recent fixtures and should be particularly confident as they welcome Neymar back into the fold.

Nevertheless, the guests can at least point to the fact they have not failed to score in 28 matches coming into this game, as well as their three-goal haul in last year’s visit here.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions

All in all, odds of 11/10 (2.10) look solid on over 3.5 goals being scored for PSG’s third game in a row, as well as a fifth in seven for United.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Spanish champions have struggled in the final third in recent months and we are opposing them to rack up the goals in the Champions League

Real Madrid welcome Shakhtar Donetsk to the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano on Wednesday evening as Zinedine Zidane’s side play their first match in Group B of the Champions League.

The La Liga champions suffered their first defeat of the season at the weekend, going down 1-0 at home to newly-promoted Cadiz, but will be hoping to bounce back against a Shakhtar side who lost 4-0 on their visit to the Spanish capital five years ago.

Real Madrid vs Shakhtar Donetsk Latest Odds

The Ukranian champions were unbeaten on the road in the group stages of last season’s competition, claiming a win and two draws from their three matches, and are priced at 10/1 (11.00) with bet365 while the draw is offered at 5/1 (6.00).

Madrid, meanwhile, have won just one of their last six home games in the competition but are offered at 1/4 (1.25).

Real Madrid vs Shakhtar Donetsk Team News

Eden Hazard is yet to feature this season and Martin Odegaard is also sidelined, whilst captain Sergio Ramos went off at half-time against Cadiz with a muscle problem and is not included. Right-backs Dani Carvajal and Alvaro Odriozola are also missing.

The visitors are also likely to be without some of their key men, with main goal-threat Junior Moraes set to be out along with Taras Stepanenko, Mykola Matvienko and Andrii Pyatov.

Real Madrid vs Shakhtar Donetsk Preview

Real Madrid reclaimed the La Liga title last season by producing efficient rather than sparkling performances, grinding out results with determined defensive showings.

Their goal-scoring ability has been considerably weakened over the last couple of years and this season they have continued their underwhelming form in the final third, netting just six times in their opening five league matches.

In two of those five games they have failed to find the back of the net, and serious questions will be asked if Madrid fail to score against a Shakhtar side that have conceded in each of their last 23 Champions League matches.

Nevertheless, Los Blancos have gotten used to needing just one or two goals to win matches and in their last 15 encounter they have only netted more than twice on one occasion.

Real Madrid vs Shakhtar Donetsk Tips and Predictions

Los Blancos to score under three goals has paid out in 19 of their last 22 games in all competitions and looks an interesting bet at 4/5 (1.80).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>These two rivals meet at the Camp Nou this weekend once more and we are backing another cagey encounter with neither side seemingly at their best

La Liga champions Real Madrid head to Camp Nou to face Barcelona on Saturday afternoon in the first Clasico of the season.

Neither side are in the best of form but it is Zinedine Zidane’s men who are in more need of a positive result after successive home defeats at the hands of Cadiz and Shakhtar Donetsk.

The first half performances in both those losses have left Los Blancos facing serious questions and they will be hoping to respond against a Barca side who are winless in their last two La Liga matches.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid Latest Odds

Ronaldo Koeman’s team enjoyed a 5-1 win in midweek over Ferencvaros in the Champions League, but were beaten 1-0 last Saturday at Getafe in La Liga.

The Blaugrana remain extremely strong in their own stadium, where they have lost just one of their last 33 league clashes, and bet365 offer the hosts at evens (2.00).

It was Real Madrid who won the most recent meeting between these two teams, a 2-0 success at the Santiago Bernabeu back in March, and the visitors are priced at 5/2 (3.50) with the draw at 13/5 (3.60).

Barcelona vs Real Madrid Team News

The Catalans remain without Marc-Andre ter Stegen who has not yet fully recovered from a knee operation, whilst defenders Jordi Alba and Samuel Umtiti are both doubtful for El Clasico.

Eden Hazard is yet to feature this campaign with a muscle issue and will play no part here, while Martin Odegaard, Dani Carvajal and Alvaro Odriozola are all out. Sergio Ramos is a doubt after missing the defeat to Shakhtar.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid Preview

The last time these two bitter rivals met at the Camp Nou was in a rescheduled fixture last December, a game which finished goalless.

It was the first 0-0 in a La Liga Clasico since 2002 and this is a fixture that generally delivers in terms of quality and entertainment.

However, Saturday’s meeting could be another cagey affair with both sides knowing a defeat could have a serious repercussions in terms of morale as well as the title race.

Madrid’s back-to-back defeats mean the pressure is on them not to slip up again, while Barca’s calamitous problems at boardroom level have filtered down into the dressing room where various issues have surfaced.

Avoiding defeat at all costs therefore will surely be the number one priority for both teams, and this could lead to another low scoring encounter.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid Tips and Predictions

It may simply be a coincidence yet since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Clasico has seen considerably fewer goals.

Four of the six meetings between these sides since the forward left for Turin have since under 2.5 goals while in the 24 Clasicos prior to his exit, only three saw fewer than three goals.

Under 2.5 goals is priced at 6/5 (2.20) while backing a goalless first half at 9/4 (3.25) could be an interesting selection, one which has paid out in three of the four most recent Clasicos.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having come out on top in last month's Carabao Cup clash away to Rodgers' men, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Gunners to prove too strong on home turf

Arsenal will be aiming to leapfrog Leicester City in the Premier League table when the sides meet at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

The Gunners are behind their guests only on goal difference, having taken nine points from the first available 15 and won both their home matches so far.

Leicester began the campaign with three victories in a row, including a 5-2 drubbing of Manchester City, but have lost their last two – both to nil.

Arsenal vs Leicester Latest Odds

Having won nine and lost none of their last 11 league matches on home turf, they are 10/11 (1.91) favourites with bet365 to move clear with a victory here.

However, Brendan Rodgers’ men have come out on top in three of the previous five league meetings against this opposition and can be backed at 14/5 (3.80) to do so once again in this one.

The last encounter between this pair at this ground resulted in a 1-1 draw back in July, and you can get odds of 11/4 (3.75) on them sharing the spoils once again.

Arsenal vs Leicester Team News

Rob Holding, Pablo Mari, and Calum Chambers are all ruled out, while Willian, Dani Ceballos, and Reiss Nelson are doubtful.

Caglar Soyuncu, Ricardo Pereira, Daniel Amartey, and Wilfried Ndidi remain sidelined, although Jamie Vardy could be back in action following injury.

Arsenal vs Leicester Preview

Having failed to score in their last two league matches, the Foxes will be desperate to have Vardy back in action for the trip to the capital.

However, it is hard to back them even should their top scorer return to action considering they have only won twice in 10 league games on the road, while Mikel Arteta’s team is a force to be reckoned with in their own back yard.

Arsenal vs Leicester Tips and Predictions

Indeed, Arsenal proved too strong for Leicester when they met at the King Power Stadium just a month ago in the Carabao Cup, and look well worth the 10/11 (1.91) odds to extend their strong home record with another victory in this one.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Toffees are one of two unbeaten sides left in the Premier League but our tipster thinks they will have their work cut out to keep the Saints quiet

Southampton will be looking to inflict a first Premier League defeat of the season on Everton when the two sides meet on Sunday afternoon.

Click Here: kangaroos rugby jersey

The Toffees’ 100 per cent record came to an end last weekend after a 2-2 draw at home to Liverpool, although a point still leaves them top of the table after five games.

Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men will buoyed after coming back from 2-0 and 3-2 down to snatch a point against Chelsea last week, making it seven points from their last three games.

Southampton vs Everton Latest Odds

Southampton beat West Brom 2-0 in their last league game at St Mary’s Stadium but are slight 7/4 (2.75) outsiders with bet365 to claim a third victory of the campaign.

Everton are looking to win four away games in a row for the first time since 1985 and are 31/20 (2.55) favourites to do just that.

Three of the last six meetings between these sides have finished all square and another draw can be backed at 12/5 (3.40).

Southampton vs Everton Team News

Carlo Ancelotti could be without James Rodriguez after he sustained an injury in the Merseyside derby, although he has returned to partial training, whilst Richarlison is suspended after being shown a straight red in that game.

Mohammed Salisu is unlikely to be fit to make his Saints debut, whilst Moussa Djenepo is injured and on-loan Theo Walcott is ineligible to face his parent club.

Southampton vs Everton Preview

Few could have seen Everton’s impressive start to the Premier League coming, with the Toffees scoring 14 goals on their way to topping the table and one of just two unbeaten sides.

Their defence does remain an issue, however, with Ancelotti’s side having shipped twice in three of their last four games, while Southampton’s recent form in the final third means there could be plenty of joy for the home team.

Indeed, the Saints have netted six times across their last three matches, including three last time out and two during their previous home fixture.

Southampton vs Everton Tips and Predictions

Everton have been in the goals this season but without Richarlison – and potentially James – the value lies with Southampton and the 5/4 (2.25) quote from bet365 on the hosts to score over 1.5 goals.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The visitors have been in strong scoring form and we are backing that record to continue when they face the Lancashire strugglers on Monday evening

Burnley welcome Tottenham to Turf Moor in the Premier League on Monday night with Sean Dyche’s men looking for their first win of the season.

The Clarets have lost three and drawn one of their four league games so far to leave them in the relegation zone already, while Jose Mourinho’s side have recorded two wins and two draws following their opening day defeat against Everton.

Burnley vs Tottenham Latest Odds

The north Londoners have failed to win either of their last two trips to Turf Moor with their most recent visit seeing them draw 1-1 in March.

Another stalemate is priced at 10/3 (4.33) with bet365 while a home win is offered at 19/4 (5.75).

Spurs are clear favourites at 11/20 (1.55) to record their third consecutive win on the road.

Burnley vs Tottenham Team News

The hosts will be without Jack Cork and Ben Mee while Phil Bardsley is also set to miss out having tested positive for coronavirus. Matthew Lowton and Erick Pieters both face late fitness tests.

Spurs remain without long-term absentee Japhet Tanganga while Eric Dier is a doubt.

Burnley vs Tottenham Preview

Spurs were in action on Thursday night as they overcame Austrian side LASK 3-0 in the Europa League, marking their first clean sheet of the season in what was their 10th competitive match.

Going forward, however, Mourinho’s men have the firepower to cause any team in the division problems, as they showed with their 6-1 demolition of Manchester United at Old Trafford, and there should be plenty of interest in backing them to get among the goals.

Burnley were comfortably beaten at home by each side that finished in the top four last season, and if Spurs have Champions League aspirations, this is the kind of game where their quality should shine through.

Burnley vs Tottenham Tips and Predictions

Spurs to win and score over 1.5 goals is available at 5/6 (1.83) and looks like an appealing selection for Monday night’s clash.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Los Blancos will be full of confidence atfter their weekend win in El Clasico in La Liga and we are backing a high-scoring first half at Borussia-Park

Real Madrid travel to Borussia Monchengladbach on Tuesday evening in the Champions League with Zinedine Zidane’s men already under pressure in Group B.

The Spanish champions suffered a shock 3-2 home defeat to an understrength Shakhtar Donetsk last week and another loss would leave the 13-time winners in the mire.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Real Madrid Latest Odds

The Bundesliga side enjoyed a 2-2 draw at Inter in their first game in the group and are offered at 14/5 (3.80) with bet365 to claim their first win of the group.

Real, meanwhile, are priced at 5/6 (1.83) while the draw can be backed at 3/1 (4.00).

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Real Madrid Team News

Eden Hazard is available for the first time since August but Martin Odegaard remains out. Dani Carvajal and Alvaro Odriozola were both injured for El Clasico and the man who came in, Nacho Fernandez, also picked up an injury.

It remains to be seen whether Lucas Vazquez will play as a makeshift right-back, or whether Marcelo could come into the side with Ferland Mendy switching flanks.

The hosts are without Andreas Poulsen and Valentino Lazaro. 

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Real Madrid Preview

In stark contrast to their opponents, the hosts do not boast a long or prestigious history in this competition with this being only Borussia’s third appearance in the group stages of the Champions League.

However, including qualifiers, the Germans have scored in all eight home games they have contested in the tournament and will be confident of doing so once more on Tuesday.

Madrid have kept just three clean sheets away from home in their last nine European games, while this season Zidane’s men have conceded in their last three matches in all competitions.

At times, the La Liga champions struggle to start matches in a focused fashion and in the last six games where they have conceded, they have let in goals in the first half.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Real Madrid Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score is priced at just 4/9 (1.44) but backing them both to net in the first half at 5/2 (3.50) with bet365 could be of interest, while the hosts are priced at 11/10 (2.10) to score in the opening 45 minutes.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having conceded in their last three group games at Anfield, Al Hain-Cole expects the weakened Reds backline to prove vulnerable versus Priske's men

Click Here: Geelong Cats Guernsey

Liverpool will be looking to strengthen their position in Champions League Group D when they welcome Midtjylland to Anfield on Tuesday.

The Reds got off to a good start to this season’s competition, running out narrow 1-0 winners over Ajax in Amsterdam last week, but it was not such a happy outing for Midtjylland as they lost 4-0 at home to Atalanta.

Liverpool vs Midtjylland Latest Odds

Unbeaten in 18 home games in this competition, the Premier League champions are clear 1/9 (1.11) favourites with bet365 to make it six points from six with another victory here.

Brian Priske’s men can be backed at 20/1 (21.00) to bounce back from their loss last week and pull off a shock win, or 17/2 (9.50) to earn a creditable draw against the 2019 winners.

Liverpool vs Midtjylland Team News

Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip and Naby Keita call all be back in contention following injury, although Virgil van Dijk, Kostas Tsimikas and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are ruled out.

Oliver Olsen and Kristian Riis both remain sidelined for the guests, having also missed the opening defeat against Atalanta.

Liverpool vs Midtjylland Preview

Having scraped to a rather edgy win over Ajax, it seems unlikely that Jurgen Klopp’s team will produce so little against a team that conceded four goals on home turf last time out.

In fact, the Danish minnows are without a clean sheet in five fixtures coming into this clash, having conceded twice in each of their last two domestic away matches – albeit scoring five times themselves.

The Wolves may even fancy their chances of getting on the scoresheet at Anfield considering the hosts failed to keep a clean sheet in three home group games last campaign and have managed just one clean sheet in the Premier League this season.

Liverpool vs Midtjylland Tips and Predictions

With Van Dijk’s absence causing vulnerability at the back, even money (2.00) seems generous on both teams getting on target for Liverpool’s sixth game in eight and a fifth in six for Midtjylland.
