Champions League Tuesday: Monaco and CSKA Moscow look good value for wins
The Champions League returns to our screens this week and there’s a host of top clashes involving the Crème de la Crème of football clubs.
Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund are all in action as they bid to reach the knockout stages.
Here, Sportsbet.io’s top football tipsters give you their best bets as they look to help you kick-start your week with a winning double.
Monaco v Bayer Leverkusen (Monaco win @ 2.89)
Monaco have enjoyed a sensational start to the Ligue 1 season and look value to get the better of Bayer Leverkusen on their own match on Tuesday night.
The red and whites currently sit just one point off top spot in France’s top position, three clear of last year’s runaway leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
Their recent Champions League form at the Stade Louis II also stands up, with Monaco winning six of their previous nine there in the competition.
In fact, their only home defeat in the Champions League came against Arsenal, so they’ll be too strong for an average Bayer Leverkusen.
Leverkusen have only secured seven points from a possible 15 so far this term and have only won three of their last 17 away Champions League games.
That’s a run dating all the way back to 2011 and it’s a run of form which suggests Monaco are a far too big a price at 2.83 with Sportsbet.io.
CSKA Moscow v Tottenham (CSKA Moscow win @ 3.05)
Premier League side Tottenham are flying high in the English division, but they will not be fancying their trip to Russia this week, that’s for sure.
Only one side (Wolfsburg) have returned from an away fixture against CSKA Moscow with maximum points from the previous seven matches.
CSKA’s home form is also formidable, with just one defeat from their previous 20 games in their fortress, all in all it looks a tough task for Tottenham.
The north London side were given a harsh lesson on their return to the competition when they were beaten by Monaco in their group opener.
They have also only ever won one Champions League game away from home in their history, so the double chance on CSKA or draw looks safe at 1.50.
