Tuesday Champions League Betting Tips PT 1
- By A.J. Ryder on February 17, 2015 18:37 GMTAfter a seemingly endless break since mid-December, the UEFA Champions League is now back in full effect with plenty of action in store on Tuesday. The two fixtures set to unfold include some of the best teams in Europe and the wagering volume is always extremely high - particularly for the first set of Champions League match-ups after the break between the Group stages and the knockout round of 16.

Both matches kick off at the same time and there is plenty to like about each of them with Paris Saint-Germain playing host to runaway Premier League leaders Chelsea. In the other match-up, we have the famous Bayern Munich away to Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk - that’s never an easy away fixture (particularly when you play it in the absolute dead of winter).
It probably goes without saying that the massive bulk of the betting volume is coming in on Bayern Munich to take the away victory over their Ukrainian opposition. You’ll find them priced at an extremely short 2/5 right now to get the outright win - a victory that would likely end the tie in the yes of many.
Having to go back to Bayern Munich trailing on aggregate against a side with one of the best home records in all of Europe would likely be a nearly insurmountable task - even for the Ukrainian team who have shown they can tangle with the best of them from across Europe.
You’ll find Shakhtar priced at a 15/2 price to pick up the home win and that shows you the type of quality that they are up against. Usually, bookmakers give the far eastern European and Russian sides a bit of an edge as it’s usually a tricky fixture away - even for top teams.
