Euro giants to play out a thriller
This blockbuster clash between two European heavyweights, Real Madrid and Manchester City, looks primed for goals and a score draw appeals.
Their last goalless meeting came back in 2016 and, with both sides packed with attacking talent, another high-scoring encounter is likely. Three of their last six meetings have ended in a score draw.
Just two points separate them in the league table and both will want to avoid a damaging defeat as they push for a top-eight finish.
Between them, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland have 14 goals in this season’s competition; only PSG, Dortmund and Bayern have scored more as teams.
Everything points towards both sides finding the net again.
Leg 1: Both teams to score and Draw @ 16/5
Dortmund set to enjoy home comforts
Borssia Dortmund have made a strong start to the league phase and sit sixth, having suffered only one defeat so far.
Bodo/Glimt, by contrast, are bottom and look out of their depth at this level, competing in the Champions League for the first time.
The sides have never met competitively, but Dortmund’s superior quality and home advantage should see them record a straightforward victory.
Leg 2: Borussia Dortmund to win @ 2/7
Gunners can maintain perfect record
Arsenal boast a perfect five-from-five record in the Champions League and the Gunners will be keen to maintain momentum after their late Premier League setback against Aston Villa at the weekend.
Mikel Arteta’s side are a level above Club Brugge, who have managed just one win from their first five Champions League matches and the visitors should collect another three points to maintain control at the top of the table.
In their domestic competition, Brugge have also lost three of their last four matches, so could be short of confidence against a side who are top of the Premier League and also first in the Champions League standings.
Leg 3: Arsenal to win @ 7/20
Goals on the cards in Bilbao
PSG’s league phase has been packed with goals, with their last three outings finishing 5-3, 2-1 and 7-2.
Athletic Bilbao have struggled in La Liga when facing tougher opposition, recently losing 3-0 to Real Madrid and 4-0 to Barcelona.
With PSG’s firepower and Bilbao’s defensive vulnerability against elite opposition, over 2.5 goals appeals strongly.
Leg 4: Over 2.5 goals @ 31/40
