On Tuesday there are some big games being played in the Champions League with reigning champs Inter Milan and English Premier League big shots Manchester United both looking to start off in victorious fashion. Let's take a look at the top Champions League picks.
Inter Milan vs. FC Twente:
Inter Milan, now managed by former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez, start off the campaign to retain their crown in the Netherlands as they face FC Twente. Twente are in good form and have not lost a single match in the Dutch league this season, but will they be good enough to beat the champs?
Inter Milan are inconsistent and need to settle to repeat last season's overall win and I see these teams being unable to be separated after 90 minutes in this game.
We're backing the draw @ 3.11.
Manchester United vs. Rangers:
Manchester United host Rangers of Scotland at Old Trafford in another match we expect to be a great game on Tuesday. While Manchester have slipped up away from home with a couple of draws in the league, they are still a classy side and they will have too much in them for the Scottish champions. We're expecting a home win with plenty of goals in this one, so we're leaning towards +2.5 goals @ 1.56.
We're backing Over 2.5 goals.
Ajax vs. Real Madrid:
The biggest game on Wednesday night sees big spenders Real Madrid host former Champions League winners Ajax at the Bernabeu Stadium. Madrid manager Jose Mourinho won the Champions League with Inter Milan last year and he's got a hugely better side at his disposal this year, so he'll want to do it again. Ajax are atop the Dutch league this season, but are they good enough to beat Mourinho's Madrid? Probably not, so we're favouring a home win here. Also we're not expecting many goals in true Mourinho fashion and we're having some of -2.5 goals. Sportsbooks currently have it listed at odds of 2.65.
We're backing Under 2.5 goals.
Sporting Braga vs. Arsenal:
Also in action this Wednesday are Arsenal, who welcome Sporting Braga of Portugal to London. Arsenal are looking in fine form this season and have scored ten goals at home in their two matches at the Emirates Stadium in the English Premier League. Braga were beaten by Portuguese giants FC Porto at the weekend and Arsenal will not fear them in this match, despite missing several key players through injury. We feel that the home side will win out in this one and that they'll run riot and find the net on a few occasions.
We're leaning towards the Over 2.5 goals
