Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayern Munich: Anytime goalscorer – Harry Kane @ 2.10
Arguably the standout contest of the season so far, the defending champions vs the most in-form team in Europe. Bayern have won 15 out of 15 games across all competitions this term, led by the goal-scoring brilliance of Kane. Five of his 22 goals have come on the Champions League stage, and the Englishman will be well-rested after playing only 31 minutes in last Saturday’s 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen. Furthermore, PSG have not been totally convincing from a defensive sense in 2025-26, keeping just two clean sheets in the last seven. Leverkusen put two past them last time out – albeit in a 7-2 loss – so we fancy Kane to continue his sensational form in front of goal at the Parc des Princes.
Qarabag vs Chelsea: Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.75
Chelsea return to Baku this week, the city where they famously beat rivals Arsenal 4-1 in the 2019 Europa League final. And the Blues will be feeling very good indeed following a 1-0 win at Spurs on the weekend, although this promises to be a tough night for Enzo Maresca’s men. Qarabag have been something of a surprise package in this season’s Champions League, coming from 2-0 down to beat Benfica 3-2 on the opening matchday and then beating FC Copenhagen 2-0. Of course, Qarabag did lose 3-1 at Athletic Bilbao on Matchday 3, but Chelsea will be wary of the threat posed by this week’s hosts. The win at Spurs was only the Blues’ third clean sheet in the last 12 matches, while Qarabag have failed to score in just two contests this season. So the BTTS selection here looks great for a combo bet.
Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund: Anytime goalscorer – Erling Haaland @ 1.53
Another week, another Haaland goalscorer tip. But if it works, why stop?! Haaland continued his ridiculous form in front of goal on the weekend, netting a first-half brace to secure a 3-1 win over Bournemouth. The Norwegian is up to 17 club goals for the campaign, and has netted in every Champions League game thus far. And coming up against a former employer in Dortmund won’t phase Haaland one bit, especially as he scored the winner the last time the sides met at the Etihad in 2022. BVB are more defensively solid these days under Niko Kovac, conceding only six goals in the Bundesliga. But even the best back-lines (including Arsenal’s) cannot stop Haaland right now, and we should point out that Dortmund have conceded seven goals already in the Champions League. Perhaps they save their best defensive efforts for the Bundesliga, so backing big Erling looks a wise move.
Galatasaray to beat Ajax @ 2.07
The Champions League has been something of a nightmare for Ajax this season, suffering three consecutive defeats to Inter Milan, Marseille and Chelsea. The Dutch side conceded 11 goals in those games, which is hugely concerning ahead of a match vs in-form Galatasaray. The outfit from Istanbul are yet to lose in the Super Lig this season, and won their previous two European fixtures vs Liverpool (1-0) and Bodo/Glimt (3-1). Victor Osimhen scored three of the four goals in the victories, and he will be licking his lips at Ajax’s poor defensive record. As such, a win for Gala looks firmly on the cards here.
