Champions League Picks: We've reached the second last round of Group games in the Champions League this week and there's sure to be plenty of drama as everyone makes a final push for the knockout stages. Where should we be putting our money though? Let's look at the biggest games, check the online sportsbook odds and see where value lies for our picks.
Inter Milan vs. FC Twente
The first match we're looking at sees Inter Milan take on FC Twente at the San Siro in Group A action on Wednesday evening. Both sides are not in good form, with Inter dropping to sixth in Serie A at the weekend following a 2-1 defeat to Chievo and Twente have lost both of their last two matches in the Dutch league. Inter need all three points here to guarantee their place in the last sixteen stage of the tournament and know that a win for the visitors will see them leap ahead of them in the group. The first game finished 2-2 and with the seven games these sides have played in the Champions League seeing 28 goals, we're expecting goals here too.
Our money is on over 2.5 goals in this game @ 1.56.
Barcelona vs. Panathinaikos
Two sides definitely not struggling this season are the Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid and they scored 13 goals between them at the weekend as Barca won 8-0 at Almeria and Real defeated Athletic Bilbao 5-1 at the Bernabeu. This Wednesday sees Barcelona travel to Greece needing only a point to ensure their progress to the knockout stages of the Champions League as they face Panathinaikos. The Greek side are unbeaten in their last six matches, but have collected just two points in the Champions League this season and they have failed to even score at home. The match at the Nou Camp between the sides saw Barca win 5-1 and we're expecting another win for the Spaniards here, so we're backing them to win again @ 1.21.
Real Madrid vs. Ajax
Real travel to the Netherlands on Tuesday as they face Ajax at the Amsterdam ArenA in Group G having already secured their progression to the knockout stages. Ajax have lost three of their last five matches, while Real have won all of their last four by an aggregate scoreline of 13-2 and Real will be confident going into this match of repeating their home victory over Ajax. Ajax have picked up all four of their Champions League points at home, but this Real Madrid side is incredibly efficient and should win this game easily. However, they face Barcelona in the league at the weekend and with their progression already assured we expect Jose Mourinho to rest some players and as a result we're putting our money on under 2.5 goals being scored in the game @ 1.98.
