Man City cruised in to the Champions League quarter finals with a second 2-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach and hoping to join them on Wednesday are Chelsea who have a 1-0 1st leg lead over Atletico Madrid to defend at Stamford Bridge.
Olivier Giroud’s spectacular overhead kick was enough for Thomas Tuchel’s side to get the better of the La Liga leaders and are in a good position to get the job done in London.
Atletico Madrid have won just two of their past 10 away Champions League knockout matches and striker Luis Suarez has failed to score in his last 24 away appearances in the competition so you feel that a Chelsea goal, which would leave Atleti needing two, migh just be enough to put the tie to bed.
The Spaniards are 11/4 to qualify and it may be a cagey affair at the Bridge with Chelsea happy to keep Atletico at arms length and Diego Simeone’s side unlucky to be gung-ho. No goal before 34 minutes appeals at 5/6.
Bayern Munich hold a commanding lead over Lazio after their 4-1 first leg win over the Italians. Hansi Flick is still likely to field a strong line-up but the bookies aren’t giving much away at 3/1. even Lewandowski is just 3/10 to score so there might be better value in his supporting cast such as Coman at 3/1 anytime (BetVictor) or Sane at 21/10 (Sportingbet).
Norwich City are on the march back to the Premier League and look a fair bet at 10/11 to win at Nottingham Forest. The Canaries have won eight on the bounce while Forest have failed to win in four and scored just four goals in their last eight matches.
Wednesday’s action kicks-off at 4.00 in Serie A with Sassulo’s visit to Torino while SlipsTips, who had another BetBuilder winner on Tuesday, focuses on Elche’s visit to Sevilla for his Wednesday tip.
