CHAMPIONS LEAGUE BETTING PREVIEW FOR TUESDAY OCTOBER 19

We’ve got plenty of action and excitement ahead of us for Tuesday’s Champions League fixtures. There are only two fixtures where one side is heavily-favoured so that’s going to ensure some quality payouts once the matches finish up.
Spartak Moscow vs Chelsea is tilted in favour of the Blues but everybody knows a trip to the plastic pitches in Russia can be an easier-said-than-done type of scenario. Chelsea are listed at 2.0 by Ladbrokes to pull off the victory while Spartak are trading at 3.75. The draw pays out at 3.4 and, after Chelsea drew at the weekend, it may turn out to be a popular option.
Ajax vs Auxerre looks like a victory for the Dutch club looms with a 1.66 price while Auxerre trades at 5.5. The draw is sitting at 3.5 but you have to back Ajax here.
Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk could wind up being trickier than the Gunners might want but they do have the quality to get all three points. You’d be a bit more hesitant if Arsenal were playing away, but they should grind this one though they likely won’t keep a clean sheet here. Arsenal are at 1.61 while Shakhtar are at 5.5 and the draw trades at 3.75.
The odds for Bayern Munich vs Cluj indicates that the Germans are considered to be the biggest favourites of the day, but Cluj can be a tricky side. They’re priced at 12.0 while Bayern are at 1.25 and the draw trades at 5.5.
Braga vs Partizan Belgrade shows the Portuguese side at 1.8 and the Eastern Europeans at 4.5. The draw sits at 3.5 but we’ll be siding with Braga here.
Marseille take on un-fancied Zilina and the French side are listed at 1.28 while the visitors trade at 12.0. The draw is priced at 5.0 and you reckon that Marseille may not be as big a favourite as some folks might think.
Real Madrid vs Milan is likely going to be a tight one, much tighter than the odds suggest, with Real at 1.61 and Milan at a 5.5 price tag. The draw is trading at 3.75 and that’s a distinct possibility but Real are tough to beat at home. This might be a close one.
Roma vs Basel looks to be all about the Italian side as Roma are trading at 1.57 and the Swiss team can be backed at 6.5. The draw is priced at 3.6 and the Italians should stroll to victory here.
