UEFA Champions LeagueWon2:1
Real Madrid
InterPickBTTS yesOdds 1.60
Why this pick: Of course, the Italians are inferior in class to today’s opponent, but I did not mention for nothing that the Nerazzurri have not lost in 20 matches in a row — they have a certain championship mentality. And the start of the current season shows that there are no major problems. Therefore, I suggest considering both teams to score. Real are not perfect in defence, while I do not believe that Madrid will fail to score in two consecutive matches, and Inter are definitely capable of responding.

FC Porto
Manchester CityPickAway winOdds 1.75
Why this pick: And against Manchester City, it will be necessary to maintain the highest level of concentration. Therefore, I suggest considering a bet on the Citizens to win. They especially need this triumph at the start of the Champions League to reinforce their confidence.
UEFA Champions LeagueWon3:2
Borussia Dortmund
VillarrealPickHome winOdds 1.78
Why this pick: Dortmund are traditionally strong at home. That was the case under previous managers, and the situation has not changed under Niko Kovač. Borussia are superior to their opponents in terms of class and have made a better start to the season, while Villarreal are yet to win and regularly make mistakes in defence. I expect the hosts not to slip up in the first match.

Club Brugge KV
Aston VillaPickDraw or away & Under 4.5Odds 1.80
Why this pick: In the playoffs, the English side has already convincingly demonstrated its superiority, winning both matches by scores of 3–1 and 3–0. Aston Villa is still far from being in optimal form, so an easy victory should not be expected. However, the team’s quality and Emery’s experience in European competitions make it possible to count on at least a draw. At the same time, the game should not be exceptionally high-scoring.
