17:45 – Ajax vs Benfica

Preview:
Ajax continue to rebuild but remain inconsistent, especially defensively. Their home form has improved, yet they still concede too many soft chances. Benfica arrive in far better shape, with Schmidt’s side typically clinical in the final third and more structured in midfield. Benfica also have stronger transitional play, which tends to expose Ajax on the counter.

Tip:

• Benfica Draw No Bet

• BTTS (Yes)

• Lean: Over 2.5 Goals

17:45 – Galatasaray vs Royale Union SG

Preview:
Galatasaray at home are extremely strong, backed by an intense atmosphere and an aggressive pressing style. Mauro Icardi’s form continues to be decisive. Royale Union SG are a well-drilled side capable of frustrating opponents, but they struggle away to high-tempo, physical teams. Gala’s wide play and set-piece threat are key advantages.

Tip:

• Galatasaray to Win

• Over 2.5 Goals

• Alternative: Galatasaray Over 1.5 Team Goals

20:00 – Bodo/Glimt vs Juventus

Preview:
Bodo/Glimt are notoriously strong on their synthetic home pitch and rarely get overwhelmed by bigger sides. Juventus, however, have improved tactically and keep matches tight with a disciplined structure. Expect Juve to control possession but struggle at times with Bodo’s direct counters and long-distance shooting. Low-scoring match likely.

Tip:

• Under 2.5 Goals

• Juventus Draw No Bet

• Correct-Score Lean: 0–1 Juventus

20:00 – Chelsea vs Barcelona

Preview:
Chelsea remain unpredictable but have shown improved attacking cohesion. Barcelona, although not at their peak, retain superior technical quality and often dominate midfield. Chelsea’s high press may create chances, but Barça’s experience in Europe is a major advantage. Expect phases of pressure from both sides.

Tip:

• Barcelona or Draw (Double Chance)

• BTTS (Yes)

• Player Markets: João Félix to Score or Assist

20:00 – Dortmund vs Villarreal

Preview:
Dortmund at home are dangerous and typically play fast, vertical football. However, their defence is leaky, especially in transition. Villarreal thrive in counter-attacking situations and possess enough creativity to trouble BVB. This has the makings of an open match with several goal-scoring opportunities.

Tip:

• BTTS & Over 2.5 Goals

• Lean: Dortmund to Win but goals look stronger

20:00 – Manchester City vs Bayer Leverkusen

Preview:
A heavyweight contest between two possession-dominant sides. Manchester City at home are almost unbeatable and maintain control for long periods. Leverkusen are one of Europe’s most dynamic teams, but visiting the Etihad is a major challenge. Expect tactical quality and periods of pressure from both sides, but City’s experience usually prevails.

Tip:

• Manchester City to Win

• Over 2.5 Goals

• Player Market: Erling Haaland Anytime Scorer

20:00 – Marseille vs Newcastle

Preview:
Marseille are strong in France but remain inconsistent in Europe. Their intensity at home can make a difference. Newcastle, despite injury issues, remain competitive and direct, but their away form in Europe has been doubtful. Expect a physical, high-tempo match with chances for both sides.

Tip:

• BTTS (Yes)

• Lean: Draw

• Alternative: Over 2.5 Goals

20:00 – Napoli vs Qarabag

Preview:
Napoli are clear favourites with superior quality in every area. Qarabag are organised and good on the break but lack the defensive depth needed to contain Napoli’s frontline. Expect dominance from the Italian side and sustained pressure throughout the match.

Tip:

• Napoli -1 Handicap

• Napoli Over 1.5 Team Goals

• Correct-Score Lean: 2–0 or 3–0 Napoli

20:00 – Slavia Prague vs Athletic Bilbao

Preview:
Slavia Prague are formidable at home and traditionally perform well in European competitions. Athletic Bilbao bring physicality and good technical balance but their away record can be inconsistent. Expect a tight, tactical match with limited clear chances.

Tip:

• Under 2.5 Goals

• Slavia Prague or Draw (Double Chance)

• Lean: 1–1 Draw
