Odds correct at time of publication
Arsenal vs Bayern Munich
Arsenal have won 11 of their last 14 home Champions League games without conceding and they could continue their phenomenal form at the Emirates in this blockbuster clash against Bayern Munich. Vincent Kompany’s side have struggled from set pieces, conceding four goals in their last two league games from set plays, and that is an area where Arsenal excel.
That could end up being the difference in what should be a cracker of a Champions League tie.
Atletico Madrid vs Inter
Inter will be desperate to bounce back after losing 1-0 to rivals Milan at the weekend and it should be an end-to-end affair when they visit Atletico Madrid. There have seen a whopping 19 goals in Atletico’s four league-phase matches and they are taking on an Inter side who have scored 11 times in their four European outings.
Given both teams’ attacking talents it may pay to side with both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.
Olympiacos vs Real Madrid
Real Madrid were held to a 2-2 draw by Elche at the weekend and reportedly have off-the-field issues between Xabi Alonso and some of his players, but they should still be too strong for this Olympiacos side. Los Blancos have conceded only twice in four Champions League games, winning three, and the Greek hosts have just two points from their four games.
Expect a morale-boosting win for the visitors.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Tottenham
Tottenham threw away a 2-0 lead with five minutes to go in the Uefa Super Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain this year and they look set for more misery when they visit the defending Champions League holders in this league-phase clash.
Spurs were beaten 4-1 by rivals Arsenal at the weekend and have a long list of injuries which looks set to consign them to defeat in the French capital.

Football acca FAQs
What is a football accumulator (acca)?
A football accumulator, commonly referred to as an ‘acca’, is a single bet that combines multiple individual bets into one. Each selection within the accumulator must win for the bet to pay out, offering higher potential returns but at increased risk compared to single bets.
Can I place an acca on different markets?
Yes, you can combine various markets in an acca, including match winners, total goals, both teams to score, and more. However, most betting platforms require that selections within an accumulator are not related to ensure the bet is valid.
What is the advantage of placing an accumulator bet?
The main advantage of an accumulator bet is the potential for higher returns from a smaller stake since the odds of each selection are multiplied together. It adds excitement to watching multiple matches, as each leg of your acca needs to be successful for a return.
