Top Champions League Matches to Watch and Bet on This Tuesday

Inter Milano -172 vs FC Shakhtar Donetsk +420

When: Tuesday, Sep. 28

Donetsk has lost their last couple of Champions League matches. On Aug. 25, in a CL qualifier, Shakhtar fell to As Monaco via penalty kicks after a 2-2 tie in regulation. Then on Sep. 15, Sheriff Tiraspol beat Shakhtar Donetsk 2-0.

Inter Milano fell 0-1 to Real Madrid in their first Champions League match. Since then, the defending Serie A champs have won 3 and drawn once. Milano should have no trouble winning this in regulation.

Soccer Pick: Inter Milano

Atletico Madrid +155 vs AC Milan +185

When: Tuesday, Sep. 28

Two of the best European clubs in the world clash when Atletico Madrid takes on AC Milan. AC is in better form.

Milan heads into this after 2 straight victories. On Sep. 22, AC beat Venezia 2-0. Then on Sep. 25, Milan bested Spezia 2-1.

Atletico takes on AC Milan after a 0-1 loss to Alaves. Madrid drew with Porto 0-0 in their first CL match. The reason Atletico is the favorite might be because many believe La Liga is better than Serie A.

That may or may not be true, which is why Milan, who offers the higher odds, is the play.

Soccer Pick: AC Milan

Manchester City +128 vs Paris Saint-Germain +190

When: Tuesday, Sep. 28

This should be a dynamite match. Both teams have won 4-of-5 with a draw. Man City heads into this off a fantastic 1-0 victory over rival Chelsea.

The match happened at Stamford Bridge. So we shouldn’t discount how well the Sky Blues played when exacting revenge over the team who beat them in last season’s Champions League Final.

PSG is dominating French Ligue 1. Paris drew 1-1 versus Club Brugge in their first CL match. Perhaps, that’s why Paris offers overlay odds to beat City.

Once PSG gels, they should have no trouble standing up to teams like the Sky Blues. Backing Paris makes the most sense.

Soccer Pick: Paris Saint-Germain

FC Sheriff Tiraspol +2 ½ (-111) vs Real Madrid -2 ½ (-119)

When: Tuesday, Sep. 28

Real beat Inter 1-0 in their first Champions League match. The top squad in La Liga’s Primera Division heads into this off a decent performance, drawing 0-0 with Villareal in their last. Villareal won the Europa League last season and has yet to lose a Primera Division match.

Real should dominate Tiraspol. But RM gives up 2 ½ in this. That’s too many goals to lend to a team that beat Shakhtar Donetsk 2-0 in their first CL match. Sheriff Tiraspol will play for a draw, which makes them the handicap pick.

Soccer Pick: Sheriff Tiraspol

Liverpool FC -135 vs FC Porto +330

When: Tuesday, Sep. 28

Liverpool is a fantastic soccer club. But Porto isn’t a bad team. The underdog in this made it all the way to last season’s Champions League Semifinals.

Pool looked terrible in their last match. Facing Brentford, the best the Reds could do was force a 3-3 draw. Porto is an experienced, solid squad that forced a 0-0 draw with Atletico Madrid in their first Champions League match.

Porto can beat Liverpool on the moneyline. Why not take a shot?

Soccer Pick: Porto

Sporting Lisbon +1 ½ (-120) vs Borussia Dortmund -1 ½ (-109)

When: Tuesday, Sep. 28

Dortmund lost 1-0 to rival Monchengladbach on Sep. 25. Borussia’s biggest problem is that if their offense doesn’t come to play, their defense struggles.

Sporting Lisbon fell by 4 goals, 1-5 to Ajax in their first CL match. Lisbon is a decent soccer club.

They don’t have the firepower to keep up with Erling Haaland and Dortmund, though. It makes sense to back Borussia on the handicap.

Soccer Pick: Borussia Dortmund
