A Variety Of Unique Tips for The Midweek Football

On Tuesday night, Juventus take on FC Porto in the Champions League at the Juventus Stadium.

In the first leg, Porto beat Juve 2-1 at the Estádio do Dragão via goals from Mehdi Taremi and Moussa Marega, with Federico Chiesa getting a late away goal for the Old Lady to give them a lifeline.

Andrea Pirlo will be hoping to see his side get a result that will advance them to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and will be looking no further than Cristiano Ronaldo for inspiration.

The Portuguese striker has been involved in 43% of Juve’s goals in the Serie A this season, having scored 20 and assisted two more. The 36-year-old has also scored four goals in five Champions League matches this campaign, including a brace against Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

Ronaldo is priced at 14/5 to score two or more goals against Porto.

Next up is Borussia Dortmund against Sevilla at the Signal Iduna Park with the home side in control of the tie, having won 3-2 at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium in the first leg thanks to goals from Mahmoud Dahoud and Erling Haaland (2).

Both of these sides showed that they are capable of scoring past one another in the return fixture, and with Haaland in such good form this season, having scored 29 goals in 28 matches this season, including eight which sees him as the top scorer in the Champions League, it would be hard to bet against Dortmund from winning this one.

Sevilla have to score two goals at the very least if they are to stay in the competition, and having seen Dortmund concede 35 goals in 24 Bundesliga games, they will fancy their chances of making life difficult for the German outfit.

Dortmund to win and BTTS is priced at 9/4.

Runaway Premier League leaders Manchester City take on Southampton on Wednesday night, looking to bounce back from their disappointing 2-0 defeat in the Manchester Derby on Sunday.

Prior to the weekend, City had won 21 matches in a row which was a new club record and looked unstoppable, their defeat against United on the weekend could be a reality check to remind them that there aren’t any easy games in the Premier League, and they are expected to beat the Saints and open up a 14 point gap at the top.

The Saints come into this game having won just two of their last 11 games in the league, following their 2-0 win against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Saturday, thanks to goals from James Ward-Prowse and Che Adams.

So far this season City have won 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 on 15 different occasions, and are priced at 15/8 to do it against the Saints for the second time this season.

PSG face Barcelona at the Parc des Princes in the Champions League on Wednesday, with the Parisians in firm control of the tie.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men thumped Barca 4-1 at the Nou Camp, following a hattrick by Kylian Mbappe, as well as a Moise Kean header, despite going 1-0 down to a Lionel Messi penalty in the 27th minute.

Former AS Monaco man Mbappe will be determined to chase down Haaland as the competition’s top scorer, having scored five goals to the Norwegian’s eight, whilst Messi will be vital to Barcelona’s slim chances of progressing, as they need to score a minimum of four goals to stand a chance.

The 33-year-old Argentinian has been involved in 47% of Barcelona’s goals in La Liga, scoring 19 and assisting eight in 24 appearances. Messi has scored in four of his five appearances for the Catalonian club in the Champions League this season, including in their 2-0 win at Juventus on matchday two of Group G.

Mbappe and Messi both to score has the odds of 10/3 to happen.

Out of form Liverpool take on RB Leipzig in Budapest, with the German side needing to win this tie if they are to stand a chance of progressing.

The first leg also took place in the Hungarian capital at the Ferenc Puskas Stadium, where Jurgen Klopp’s side won 2-0 via goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

The Bundesliga outfit struggled to deal with the intensity of Liverpool’s attack, however, there is a chance that alike in their loss to Manchester United in the group stages, that they will learn from their lesson and opt for a different approach against Liverpool, as they used a false nine up-front in Dani Olmo last time, which didn’t work.

Leipzig are known for scoring a lot of goals, as they have scored 46 goals in 24 Bundesliga games this season. They will have to score at minimum two goals if they are to stand a chance of progression, against a Liverpool side that lost their sixth home league game in a row on the weekend against relegation battling Fulham.

Leipzig are priced at 9/2 to beat Liverpool with both teams to score.
