CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GROUP STAGE BETTING PREDICTIONS FOR TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 14

We are finally back to Champions League action as the Group Stages kick off on Tuesday, September 14 for, what looks to be, some very memorable fixtures. We’ll be examining each fixture here and setting up a few lucrative accumulator bets based on the day’s premier selections.
In the Barcelona vs Panathinaikos match, we’ve got Barca at a very short price but you reckon that they will see a few punters looking to bet against them after a dismal effort at the weekend against Spanish side Hercules. Bet365 has Barca at 1/7 and the Greeks at a whopping 20/1. The draw is trading at 13/2 and that might be a popular option for those looking to bet against the Catalan club.
Benfica vs Hapoel Tel-Aviv looks to be a nearly foregone conclusion as the Portuguese team are listed at a slim 2/5 while the Israelis can be backed at 8/1. That’s a lengthy price on Tel-Aviv and they’ve proven that they can beat the more competitive teams so a wager there wouldn’t be held against you. A draw can be had at 10/3.
Bursaspor vs Valencia is a tricky-looking one to bet on with the Spanish side at an 11/8 price while the Turkish side are available at 21/10. The draw can be had at 9/4 and that’s a solid-looking bet as the trip to Turkey can be a tough one for continental sides.
FC Copenhagen vs Rubin Kazan is split right down the middle with both sides favoured at 17/10 payouts. The draw is listed at 11/5 and Rubin showed last season that they can pull off dramatic group stage victories. The Russians are a tough outfit and they will look to overpower Copenhagen here.
FC Twente vs Inter Milan shows a quality price on the Italian side with a 17/20 listing for Rafa Benitez’s men. The Dutch side are the hosts, but they carry a lengthy 7/2 price tag to win here. You can back the draw at 12/5 but this one should go to Inter.
Lyon vs Schalke is showing the French club at an odds-on price to win, listed by Bet365 at 10/11. The Germans are at 16/5 and this one could wind up being a draw quite easily. It will likely come down to who scores first.
Manchester United vs Rangers is a massive re-match from their controversial fixture a few years back when Scottish fans inflicted massive property damage in and around the Old Trafford area. United are a very short 1/6 while Rangers are a massive 18/1. You reckon a few of their fans will be betting on them to get one over the English side with a price like that.
Werder Bremen vs Tottenham will be one of the most keenly-watched fixtures as Spurs in the Champions League is still something of a novelty. You can lock in a 23/20 price on the German side while Spurs are trading at a solid 12/5. The draw is also listed at 12/5.
You can lock in a 10/1 price tag on Rubin Kazan x Inter Milan x Lyon x Man Utd. You can take Rubin x Inter x Lyon x Man Utd x Barca x Benfica x Valencia x Spurs on an accumulator at 140.58/1.
