CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TUESDAY: The Ultra previews SLAVIA PRAGUE v ARSENAL, LIVERPOOL v REAL MADRID and PSG v BAYERN MUNICH all with a recommended BETDAQ bet.
SLAVIA PRAGUE V ARSENAL
5.45pm The Champions League is back! We have a superb Tuesday night on BETDAQ BETTING EXCHANGE with some blockbuster fixtures. No doubt all the headlines will come from Liverpool v Real Madrid, but we also have PSG v Bayern Munich to enjoy at the same time as well. We kick off the evening early with Arsenal in action too as they travel to take on Slavia Prague. Arsenal have been having a very positive season so far, and they’ve basically been quietly ticking all their boxes. They got called boring under Arteta last season, but boring seems to be the road to success in the Premier League this season with everyone else boring points. They have a very nice cushion at the top of the table already, and to be honest if they don’t win the Premier League from here they only have themselves to blame. Things have been going perfectly well in the Champions League too; three wins from three games leaves them sitting towards the top – but we also have PSG, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Real Madrid coming into this week with the same record! Given the gulf in class between the sides here, it’s no surprise to see Arsenal odds on.
Arsenal are the red-hot favourites at 1.28 with Slavia Prague 13.0 and the draw is 6.4 at the time of writing. That 1.28 is the joint-shortest price of Tuesday night; Atletico Madrid are the same price to beat Union St Gilloise. It’s very hard to see past an Arsenal win here, but there’s no prizes for tipping 1.28 shots so we’ll have to look around the side markets for some value. Arsenal have been pretty much perfect in the Champions League so far; three wins and three clean sheets. They have an average xG conceded of 0.85 in the Premier League, which is the best defensive figure and an exceptionally impressive one too in such a good quality league. Slavia Prague have actually created a decent level of chances in the Champions League despite playing Inter Milan and Atalanta in their first three games. They have conceded a lot of chances too though; their average xG conceded is 1.99. Obviously with Arsenal so good at the back, I’m happy to back Both Teams Not To Score at 1.73 but I also want to keep stakes low here because Slavia Prague have shown enough in front of goal. However, Arsenal should dominate this game.

LIVERPOOL V REAL MADRID
8pm Next we have undoubtedly the highlight of the week from the Champions League as Liverpool host Real Madrid. Two European giants clashing is what the Champions League is all about; even if both are almost certain to get to the next stage – of course this fixture would be better in a few months at the knockout stage! Real Madrid have been ticking their boxes nicely with three wins from three games, while Liverpool have won two from three. They finally put an end to their losing run in the Premier League at the weekend too with a win here over Aston Villa. That was badly needed after four straight defeats! It will be absolutely fascinating to see how this one plays out; obviously Liverpool have had their issues this season – will they be able to stop this Real Madrid side from scoring? It’s also the return of Xabi Alonso to the club he used to play for; plenty going on here! It’s no surprise that we have an open betting heat – we actually have a very open market as both sides are trading the same price. The Liverpool win and the Real Madrid win are both trading 1.64, with the draw 4.0 at the time of writing.
While Liverpool have obviously gone through a tough time in the Premier League with four straight defeats – they still have the best attacking figure with an average xG created of 1.71. The problems have mostly come at the back; they’ve conceded far too many sloppy goals and there’s only so many times you can score an injury time winner to get out of jail. Real Madrid couldn’t come here in better shape – they had a smooth 4-0 win over Valencia on Saturday and a recent win in El Clasico gives them a nice cushion on Barcelona at the top of the table too. Xabi Alonso is reportedly being so strict in training some of the stars are moaning, but that’s not reflected in the performance levels. An average xG created of 2.27 is very impressive. We have an immense amount of attacking talent here, and both sides like to play an open game. Over 2.5 goals looks a very nice bet here at 1.46 in what should be a very entertaining game.

PSG V BAYERN MUNICH
8pm We finish Tuesday night with another European blockbuster as PSG host Bayern Munich! Obviously Liverpool v Real Madrid is a huge fixture, but without that this would undoubtedly be the highlight of the week! Bayern are having a superb season – they already have a record start in Germany and a 3-0 win at the weekend over Bayer Leverkusen just put the stamp on the title race already. It felt like the title race in Germany was over before it even started with Bayer Leverkusen selling their best players and then having to sack Erik ten Hag so early after Xabi Alonso left, but Bayern have been on a different planet. PSG know about having a smooth run of things domestically too; the gulf in class between them and everyone else in Ligue 1 is obvious. I have to say, the fact that these two have such a handy domestic league is obviously a massive plus in their Champions League hopes. When we get to the business end of this competition they will both be able to rest players domestically – that’s something that the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Inter Milan won’t be able to do. These both have the talent in their squad to go deep too.
It will be fascinating to see how this plays out, and it will give us an idea who is the stronger side this season. PSG looked very tired in the FIFA Club World Cup Final against Chelsea, and they have dropped a few points in Ligue 1 this season already. One wonders will their legs hold up this season after that busy summer – plus what the Champions League win took out of them. They’ve dropped points four times from eleven games in Ligue 1; they still lead of course! We have another very open betting heat here; PSG are the favourites at 2.52 with Bayern Munich 2.78 and the draw is 4.1 at the time of writing. The market is expecting goals as well with Over 2.5 goals trading 1.4 – I do feel we’ll have a very entertaining end-to-end game here with plenty of chances. Harry Kane is in seemingly unstoppable form for Bayern as well! I actually feel the 2.78 on Bayern is a shade too big here; their performance levels have been incredible this season and while I know they have yet to be fully tested given the lack of big opposition in Germany this season, I do feel they are playing much better football compared to PSG. A fascinating game awaits though, but for me it’s Bayern at 2.78.
