Back-to-back Champions League and Europa League weeks is a great treat for all football fans. The first-leg ties varied hugely in terms of the number of goals scored and the closeness of the matches going into the second-legs. Whether you’re interested in the fascinating Madrid derby, whether PSG can come back from the dead against Barcelona, or if Sevilla can hold onto their narrow lead we’ve got you covered with three great football accas below.
Easy Winner – 5/4 (Sky Bet)
- Barcelona to beat PSG (2/5) – Barca tore PSG apart in the first leg in Paris and look to have made themselves favourites for the Champions League outright. PSG can recall Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marco Verratti but should still fall short at the Camp Nou.
- Bayern Munich to beat Porto (2/7) – Porto produced a wonderful performance to beat Bayern 3-1 in the first leg so will be trying to keep things as tight as possible to maintain their two goal lead. Bayern will surely win the game but whether they’ll get to the semi final again remains to be seen.
- Over 1.5 goals in Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid (1/4) – Real have to score early to ensure that Atletico cannot get though by scoring one late goal. The first match was very attacking and will almost certainly continue in that vein, this time delivering goals.
Medium Risk – 17/2 (BetVictor)
- Napoli to beat Wolfsburg (13/10) – Rafa Benitez’s team blew Wolfsburg away in Germany 4-1 and so clearly had the right game plan against their opponents. They should be able to record another victory on Thursday and cement their place in the semi finals as they look to win the Europa League.
- Juventus to beat Monaco (13/10) – Juventus narrowly beat Monaco 1-0 at home but Monaco showed against Arsenal that they can crumble in front of their own fans. Juve are the better side, playing well and can beat Monaco once again.
- Fiorentina to beat Dynamo Kiev (5/6) – Fiorentina have a good 1-1 score draw with an away goal to defend. Having the second leg at home is a huge boost but they must not let Kiev in so will be looking for a routine home win and should get it against a side far better on home soil.
Long Shot – (Bet365)
- Over 3.5 goals in Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid (9/4) – Real cannot allow the game to go too long without scoring and if they do score early they will draw out Atletico. This game could really catch fire and be one of the best Champions League games for a long time, with goals aplenty.
- Sevilla to beat Zenit (11/5) – Sevilla have the lead to defend in Russia but Zenit will come at them. That could leave some space for Sevilla to attack and they are more than capable to getting through to the semi finals with two wins out of two.
- Barcelona to beat PSG 3-1 (9/1) – PSG need to attack which could well be the worst thing for their chances of success. Barcelona will want to score early but should have plenty of time to guarantee their place in the semi final by the same scoreline they won the first leg.
