Champions League Quarter Finals 1st Leg Betting Tips
The Champions League reaches the quarter final stage this week, with four games to look forward to from across Europe on Tuesday and Wednesday night.
Tuesday sees Arsenal host Real Madrid in their first leg at the Emirates Stadium, while Inter Milan make the trip to the Allianz Arena to face Bayern Munich.
There are two more intriguing first legs to come on Wednesday, with Barcelona hosting Borussia Dortmund at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys and Aston Villa facing Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes.
TIP 1 - ARSENAL TO WIN @ 7/5
Arsenal vs Real Madrid: Tuesday 20:00
Arsenal have saved some of their best performances of the season for the Champions League and they will need another stellar display if they are to hold a lead going into the second leg against Real Madrid in the Spanish capital.
The Gunners have made the Emirates a fortress since their return to the Champions League in 2023, going undefeated in their last 10 games in north London in this competition.
Real have stumbled to a 2-1 home defeat to Valencia in their last outing and Arsenal, given their home form in the Champions League, are good value for the win against Los Blancos on Tuesday night.
TIP 2 - DRAW - BAYERN MUNICH VS INTER MILAN @ 23/10
Bayern Munich vs Inter Milan: Tuesday 20:00
Two heavyweights go toe-to-toe at the Allianz Arena as Bayern Munich host Inter Milan in a mouthwatering contest.
With Bayern leading the way in the Bundesliga and Inter currently topping Serie A, these are two in-form sides facing off in Bavaria.
Bayern have only lost one of their last 12 home games in all competitions, while the Nerazzurri are currently on a 10-match unbeaten run.
With Inter drawing their last two away games on the road at AC Milan and Parma, a third consecutive stalemate might well be on the cards for Inter at the Allianz Arena.
TIP 3 - BARCELONA TO WIN & OVER 3.5 TOTAL GOALS @ 11/8
Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund: Wednesday 20:00
Barcelona are the favourites to go all the way and win the Champions League this season, but first they must get past Borussia Dortmund over two legs.
Dortmund seem to be a shadow of the side that managed to reach the Champions League final last season, with BVB currently languishing down in eighth place in the Bundesliga standings.
Losing five of their last 10 away games in all competitions, it’s hard to see Dortmund having enough to best Barca on their own patch at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
With the Blaugrana winning 3-2 the last time these sides met in Dortmund back in December, another high-scoring victory for Barca might well be on the cards on Wednesday night in Catalonia.
TIP 4 - ASTON VILLA DOUBLE CHANCE @ 39/20
Paris Saint-Germain vs Aston Villa: Wednesday 20:00
Winning all of their last seven games in all competitions, Aston Villa find themselves in great form heading into Wednesday’s first leg against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes.
PSG have been strong on their own patch this season, but they have also been vulnerable at times in the French capital.
PSV claimed a draw in Paris, while Atletico Madrid and Liverpool both left the Parc des Princes with victories in the Champions League this season.
Given the form Villa are in at present, they are an attractive price to secure either a draw or win on Wednesday night in the double chance market.
