Champions League Wednesday betting tips & odds – Matchday 1

The UEFA Champions League is back in action this Wednesday (AEST), delivering a thrilling lineup of eight games to ignite the group stage. Potential contenders such as Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, and Manchester City will take centre stage, and we have free UCL betting tips for those games and more.

Manchester City v Crvena Zvezda

In this clash, there’s not much room for suspense. The defending champions, Manchester City, are poised to sail smoothly to victory in this bout. Crvena Zvezda, a modest club in the Serbian Superliga, lacks the star power and resources of the mighty Cityzens. Expect multiple goals from the City side, with Argentine sensation Julian Alvarez eyeing his first UEFA Champions League goal of the season.

AC Milan v Newcastle United

Both of these teams have their sights set on advancing from the group. AC Milan are enjoying a strong Serie A season with three wins out of four matches, boasting a formidable attack led by Rafael Leao. The Magpies might be sturdy in the English Premier League, but we’re backing Milan to secure a home victory and kickstart their European campaign on the right foot.

Paris Saint-Germain v Borussia Dortmund

After a summer of transfer rumours, the prodigious Kylian Mbappe is back in the PSG fold, scoring goals at an astonishing pace. With seven goals from four Ligue Un appearances, Mbappe remains one of the world’s top talents. When his odds to score anytime are this enticing, it’s a bet worth considering.

Shakhtar Donetsk v FC Porto

While Shakhtar Donetsk boast a formidable team, FC Porto have quietly established themselves as reliable customers in the UEFA Champions League over the past five years. With a strong defensive game, Porto are poised for another impressive run. They’ve been dominant in the Portuguese top-flight league and are set to limit Shakhtar’s scoring opportunities, initiating their Champions League journey with a resounding victory.
