AEK vs LASK

15/20 AEK | Draw 51/20 | LASK 33/10

A must-win match for both teams, given the number of intense fixtures that lie ahead in this competition. The home team is coming to this match highly motivated following their 5-0 demolition of Aris in the Greek Super League and will be looking to continue on the winning lane.

LASK, on the other hand, also recorded a big win in their recent game, scoring six past DSC in the OFB Cup. They are on a four-match winning run and have scored nothing less than three goals in those matches.

Seeing how both teams are capable of finding the back of the net is a good indicator that this match will be blessed with goals, and backing the Scoring or Totals market is a smarter choice.

Best Bet: Over 2.5 & Yes at 17/20

Club Brugge vs Aston Villa

33/20 Club Brugge | Draw 51/20 | Aston Villa 15/10

The Belgian side have had a good start to their season, while Aston Villa have experienced a rocky start and are still adjusting to losing key players such as Morgan Rogers and Emiliano Martinez, while recruits including Nicolas Jackson, Alejandro Garnacho and Zion Suzuki are still settling into Unai Emery’s team.

Despite the above-mentioned, the competition in the English Premier League is tougher than the Belgian Pro League, and Villa cannot be sidelined based on their winless run.

Best Bet: Villa to win at 15/10

Borussia Dortmund vs Villarreal

7/10 Borussia Dortmund | Draw 28/10 | Villarreal 34/10

These two sides are no strangers to each other, having met in this competition in November last year, the match saw the Spanish side receiving a 4-0 baptism. It looks like a similar fate awaits them on Tuesday, given their poor run of form since the start of the season.

Best Bet: Dortmund to win & Over 1.5 at 8/10

FC Porto vs Manchester City

37/10 FC Porto | Draw 11/4 | Manchester City 13/20

The last time City visited Porto, they were held to a goalless draw, and this time, we anticipate how they are going to perform under new manager Enzo Maresca, who leads the charge for the first time in this competition.

The home team is expected to come out strong to avoid dropping points in front of their home fans. William Gomes, Andre Silva and Pepe are expected to lead the frontline and score goals that will ensure that they bag all three points.

Best Bet: City to win at 13/20

Lille vs Real Betis

13/10 Lille | Draw 2/1 | Real Betis 43/20

Lille have been showing their desire to compete this season following their 2-2 draw against the reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain in the French Ligue 1 match, and followed that with a 1-0 victory over Toulouse.

Betis are enjoying a good run after shocking Real Madrid to a 1-0 loss, coming from a 5-2 thrashing by Levante, which proved that they are able to dust themselves and compete at the highest level.

Best Bet: BTTS-Yes at 6/10

Real Madrid vs Inter Milan

11/20 Real Madrid | Draw 32/10 | Inter Milan 4/1

This is expected to be a highly contested match on the night, as both teams possess quality players in their respective squads with vast experience in major competitions. Madrid will be looking to make amends after being knocked out by Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals last season, while Inter were shocked by Bodo/Glimt in the knockout stages.

These two last met in 2021, and Madrid were victorious in both legs of the competition. It will be hard for Inter to record a victory in front of Madrid’s fans at a packed Santiago Bernabéu.
