Taking a look at Matchday 1, we can see that the bookmakers have already laid out a solid set of odds and there looks to be a couple of fascinating contests unfolding during the first two-day period of Champions League action. 

Chelsea take on Sevilla on the Tuesday matchday list and you’ll see that the Blues are fancied to get the result at home here with the bookmakers listing them around even money to get the result. The Spanish side can be backed around a 3/1 margin and some might fancy them to pull off a result here. 

The draw can be backed at a 13/5 price tag and that might be an interesting live wagering option. 

Manchester United vs PSG is probably the marquee matchup on Tuesday and this one is added an extra level of spice since Manchester United have recently signed PSG superstar Edinson Cavani at the transfer window deadline. While Cavani’s presence in the match is still questionable due to safety restrictions entering England, you’ll find that the French side are sitting as the betting favourite at this point.

The bookmakers have them trading around an 8/13 price tag to get the result against a Manchester United side that looked shambolic in their last fixture against Spurs. They were dealt a heavy 6-1 defeat as ten-man Manchester United looked absolutely out of sorts in defence and going forward.
