5 Champions League Tips - 7/9/22

The first tip on this list comes from Ajax against Rangers which is one of Wednesday’s early kick-offs at the Johan Cruijff Arena.

Ajax enters this match in good form having won all of their last five matches and will be full of confidence, whereas this will be a test of character for Rangers after they were thrashed 4-0 by Celtic last weekend.

A player to look out for in this game is former Tottenham Hotspur forward Steven Bergwijn, who has had an excellent start to his Ajax career, as the 24-year-old has scored six times in his last four matches.

Barcelona hosts Viktoria Plzen at the Nou Camp in a match that the home side are expected to dominate in.

The signing of Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich caused shockwaves across football as he is widely regarded as the best striker in the world alongside the likes of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe.

Lewandowski has started life well at Barca, scoring five goals in his first four matches, including braces against Real Sociedad and Real Valladolid.

Bayern Munich against Inter Milan is arguably the biggest game of the night due to both sides’ heritage in this competition.

A player who also has a good record in the Champions League is Sadio Mane, who famously won the tournament back in 2019 with Liverpool.

The 30-year-old Senegalese forward has had nine shots on target in his last three matches for Bayern and has even scored five goals in his first seven appearances for the Bavarian side. He managed to score 24 goals in 55 appearances for Liverpool in the Champions League for Liverpool (excluding qualifying rounds).

Napoli and Liverpool will meet for the fifth time since the start of the 2018/19 season on Wednesday night in what could be an entertaining contest.

Liverpool will enter this game with a point to prove having only won two of their opening six Premier League games so far this season.

Mohamed Salah has had a solid but unspectacular start to the season and will be looking to boost his goalscoring record here. The Egyptian has scored three goals in seven appearances and will be aiming to hit similar heights to last season when he bagged 31 times and created 16 assists in 51 matches.

The final tip on this list sees Tottenham Hotspur face off against Ligue 1 outfit Marseille at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Harry Kane and Son Heung-min will both be looking to get off the mark in this season’s competition. These two have 41 goal combinations between them, making them the most deadly duo in the history of the Premier League.

So far this campaign, Kane has five goals in six appearances, however, last season’s Premier League Golden Boot winner Son is yet to score. At 33/1 there could be good value in this if the South Korean can find his shooting boots.
