Champions League Best Bets Matchday 6 Erling Haaland Manchester City

Real Madrid vs Manchester City

Erling Haaland to score any time (-111) at bet365

It would be overly simplistic to bill this as a head-to-head between Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland given the quality that lies elsewhere in these two sides. It is true, though, that the build-up to this titanic tussle at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu will focus on the two players who are arguably the best strikers in world soccer right now.

Mbappe is the favorite to find the back of the net, but Haaland represents better value at the odds available. Manchester City will have less of the ball than usual, but Haaland’s runs in behind will make him a threat to the Real Madrid defense.

Inter vs Liverpool

Inter to win (+130) at bet365

It has been a difficult start to the season for Liverpool, whose Premier League title hopes are already over. The Champions League provides an alternative route to silverware for the Reds, but there is still work to do in the league phase after a 4-1 home defeat by PSV last time out. Liverpool are down in 13th as things stand, while Inter are flying high in fourth place.

Last season’s runners-up have had a favorable fixture list up to now, but they are still an excellent side on their day. With Liverpool struggling to reach top form, they will be in for a difficult evening at San Siro. Home advantage could swing this one Inter’s way.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Newcastle United

Both teams to score (-175) at bet365

Newcastle United recently won their first Premier League away game of the campaign, beating Everton 4-1 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Generally, though, the Magpies have struggled to pick up points at opposition grounds. They beat Union Saint-Gilloise on the road in October, but lost 2-1 at Marseille last month.

Newcastle will hope to get the better of Bayer Leverkusen this week, although a clean sheet will probably be beyond them given the German outfit have scored in 100 percent of their European fixtures this term. Having said that, Newcastle will also like their chances of finding the back of the net.

Atalanta vs Chelsea

Over 1.5 away goals (-125) at bet365

Chelsea have fielded two of the three youngest starting XIs in the Champions League this term. That goes a long way to explain the inconsistency that continues to dog Enzo Maresca’s men, both at home and abroad. However, Chelsea were terrific in their last European outing, beating Barcelona 3-0 at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have scored 12 goals in their five matches in this competition, a return that only five teams can better. Atalanta have generally kept things tight at the back so far, but their defense will be tested by Chelsea’s talented offensive unit in this game in Bergamo on matchday six.

Bayern Munich vs Sporting CP

Bayern Munich/Bayern Munich half-time/full-time (-138) at bet365

Bayern Munich won their first four games of the league phase, but a 3-1 defeat by Arsenal on matchday five brought them back down to earth. Vincent Kompany’s crew are still well positioned as they seek a top-eight finish, and another victory this week would put them on the brink of the round of 16.

This is a difficult assignment for Sporting CP, who will be under pressure from the first whistle. Bayern Munich are the third-highest scorers in the competition and they should hold an advantage at half-time, as well as after 90 minutes. Back the Bavarians in front of their own supporters at the Allianz Arena.

Athletic Club vs Paris Saint-Germain

PSG to win the first half (+110) at bet365

Paris Saint-Germain are the reigning European champions and they are desperate to lift the trophy again this season. Luis Enrique’s side are second in the standings at present, putting them on course for a direct passage to the round of 16. A triumph in the Basque Country would move them one step closer to achieving that objective.

Athletic Club have struggled in this competition, losing three of their first five games. They could still secure a play-off berth, but they will probably find themselves on the back foot from the start of this meeting with a PSG team that has recovered key players from injury.
