Gunners to Start with Three Points

Arsenal’s Champions League season kicks off this Tuesday with a trip to Spain to face Bilbao. European away games are never easy, but the Gunners will fancy their chances at the Estadio San Mames.

Athletic Club finished fourth in La Liga last term to book their place in the Champions League. Ernesto Valverde’s men won their opening three league games of this campaign, though last week’s 1-0 home loss to Alaves was a setback.

Arsenal have also picked up nine points from a possible 12 in the league. Mikel Arteta’s men bounced back from the Liverpool loss with an impressive victory over Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

San Mames is a tough place to go, but we can see the Premier League giants leaving with a massive three points. Check out 4.10 for the away win and both teams to score.

Bavarians to Ease Past Blues?

Bayern and Chelsea go head-to-head in a mouth-watering Champions League battle in Bavaria. The German giants are among the tournament favourites, but can the FIFA Club World Cup champions cause an upset at the Allianz Arena?

Bayern have made a blistering start to their season, winning five out of five. Last weekend, the German champions thumped Hamburg 5-0 at home, with Harry Kane helping himself to a brace.

Chelsea are unbeaten after four Premier League fixtures, but Enzo Maresca’s men dropped points at the weekend. The Blues conceded in stoppage time to draw 2-2 at Brentford.

This will be a stern assignment for the English team, and Bayern could have too much for Chelsea to handle at the Allianz. Back the hosts to win -1 at 2.06.

Reds to Win Entertaining Anfield Affair

One of the most eye-catching games from the opening round is Wednesday’s Liverpool vs Atleti fixture at Anfield. The home team are the favourites, but Diego Simeone’s team will be no pushovers.

Liverpool left it late to beat Burnley on Sunday and maintain their winning start in the Premier League. Despite being far from at their best, the Premier League champions are already three points clear at the summit.

Atleti have made a slow start, picking up their first win at the weekend. After taking just two points from their opening three, Simeone’s Rojiblancos secured a much-needed 2-0 victory over Villarreal.

Madrid will no doubt play their part in England, but our money is on Liverpool. The home win and over 3.5 goals is nicely priced at 3.70.
