UEFA Champions League Betting Tips & Previews

Atletico Madrid – AC Milan

Atletico Madrid is hosting AC Milan for the 2nd leg of  last 16 tie at Vicento Calderon on Tuesday night. Diego Costa’s header prepared the 0-1 victory for the hosting side at the 1st leg and gave the Madrid representative a great advantage to qualify to the quarter final of the Champions League. Diego Simeone is confident of his team although he will be missing Tiago and Javier Manquillo due to injury. David Villa has shown his form and quality by scoring twice against Celta Vigo at the away game.

 At Seedorf’s team the things went off the rails. It is absolutely one of the worst seasons for the team considering the last 10 years. Balotelli and Christian Zapata are fit again but Ricardo Montolivo is sidelined due to suspension. A very tough game awaits AC Milan when we keep the 0-1 defeat in mind at the 1st leg’s game.

 It is not going to be easy for Atletico but somehow they will manage to get a victory over Milan. Our advice for bettors will be for the Win of Atletico Madrid.

Prediction: Atletico Madrid to WIN

Bayern Munich – Arsenal

At the st leg of the last 16 tie Bayern has beaten its opponent thanks to the goals of  Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller. Winning in Munich is almost a dream for the Gunners as the runaway Bundesliga leaders has not lost at home domestically since October 2012. However, a home defeat to Manchester City in the group stages of this season’s competition shows that Bayern are not unbeatable at its own Stadium, particularly when they play against the English clubs.

Arsenal will be without the suspended Szczesny, while Jack Wilshere is sidelined for around six weeks after picking up a foot injury in England’s friendly victory over Denmark at Wembley last Wednesday. Theo Walcott and Abou Diaby are long-term absentees of Arsenal.

Xherdan Shaqiri, Thomas Muller and Franck Ribery all returned from injury and helped Bayern for the 6-1 amazing victory over Wolfsburg in the German Bundesliga game last Saturday, and will undoubtedly be a huge power for Bayern to make it to the quarter-finals of Champions League on Tuesday night.

In conclusion we are expecting many goals at this match especially from the hosting side, and our betting pick will be for over 3,5 goals for the bettors.

Prediction: over 3,5 goals
