Madrid to Ease to Victory in Almaty

Kairat welcome Real Madrid to the Central Stadium in what is a fairytale tie for the Kazakhstan club. Can Rafael Urazbakhtin’s boys cause an almighty upset against Europe’s most successful side?

Almaty booked their spot in the Champions League qualifiers after winning the Kazakhstan Premier League last term. They beat Celtic in the play-off round to reach the main tournament, though their opening league-phase game ended in a 4-1 defeat to Sporting Lisbon.

Real Madrid suffered their first loss of the season last weekend. Despite being 2-1 up against rivals Atletico Madrid, Xabi Alonso’s Blancos crashed to a 5-2 away defeat in La Liga.

Kairat will certainly enjoy the occasion, but Real Madrid’s qualities should shine through in Almaty. Back the away team to win to nil at 1.65.

Reds to Edge Istanbul Encounter

Galatasaray and Liverpool lock horns in a tasty Champions League matchup in Istanbul. The Reds are looking to bounce back after losing in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Turkish team are in fine fettle, winning seven of their opening eight league and cup fixtures. However, Galatasaray were beaten 5-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt in their Champions League opener.

Despite last weekend’s loss, Liverpool have made a strong start to their season. Arne Slot’s men won a five-goal thriller in their opening Champions League game, edging past Atleti at Anfield.

Galatasaray are not an easy nut to crack in Istanbul, but the Premier League champions will fancy their chances. We like the look of the Liverpool win and both teams to score at 2.75.

All Square in Catalonia

The standout Champions League game of the week is Wednesday’s heavyweight clash in Catalonia between Barcelona and PSG. The two are among the favourites to lift the trophy, but who will come out on top in Spain?

Barcelona moved to the top of La Liga last weekend, winning 2-1 against Real Sociedad after Real’s defeat in the derby. Hansi Flick’s boys have started the season with seven wins and a draw from eight.

Paris bounced back from the Marseille loss with a 2-0 home victory over Auxerre. In their opening Champions League fixture, the Parisians hammered Atalanta 4-0 at the Parc des Princes.

Both heavyweights will be gunning for maximum points, but we can see the pair cancelling each other out. The draw and both teams to score is available at 4.40.
