Krasnodar vs. Chelsea (Wednesday, 5.55pm)

Two sides sitting on one point following the opening round of Champions League fixtures will lock horns on Wednesday as Chelsea make the long journey to Russia to take on FC Krasnodar.
The hosts played out a 1-1 draw with Rennes last week, whereas Chelsea's opener with Sevilla at Stamford Bridge finished goalless.
We say: FC Krasnodar 0-3 Chelsea
Krasnodar's recent form has been underwhelming enough without taking into account the numerous absentees that Musaev must deal with for the daunting visit of Chelsea. The Blues have experienced their fair share of troubles on the attacking front recently but will feel confident of notching up a few goals at the Stadion Krasnodar in midweek, so we are backing Chelsea to record their first Champions League victory of the season in convincing fashion on Wednesday.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Istanbul Basaksehir and Paris Saint-Germain will both be looking to get off the mark in the Champions League when the two domestic champions meet at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium in Wednesday's Group H clash.
The hosts suffered a 2-0 defeat to RB Leipzig in the opening round of fixtures, whereas PSG once again fell victim to Manchester United as they lost 2-1 to the Red Devils on their own turf.
We say: Istanbul Basaksehir 0-3 Paris Saint-Germain
The two sides have turned their fortunes around in the league as they look to defend their respective titles, but there is only one winner in this encounter. Istanbul Basaksehir and PSG are both having to deal with reduced squads at the minute, but given the formidable firepower in the visitors' attacking ranks, Tuchel's men should prevail with minimal difficulty.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Sevilla and Rennes meet in the Champions League on Wednesday evening having started their Group E campaign with a draw.
While the Spanish giants played out a stalemate with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Rennes also had to settle for a point against Russian side FC Krasnodar.
We say: Sevilla 2-1 Rennes
Sevilla are yet to find their form this season, something which will only encourage Rennes ahead of the trip to Spain. However, Lopetegui knows that this is an important fixture with regards to qualification and he may be able to get the best out of his squad on Wednesday evening.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Dortmund vs. Zenit (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Borussia Dortmund host Zenit St Petersburg on Wednesday with both sides looking to secure their first points of the 2020-21 Champions League campaign in Group F.
Dortmund were disappointing in a 3-1 defeat at Lazio last week, while Zenit were humbled 2-1 at home to Club Brugge, leaving both sides with plenty of work to do in order to progress to the knockout stages.
We say: Borussia Dortmund 2-0 Zenit St Petersburg
Dortmund have looked much improved defensively on the whole this season, and we expect them to control the match against a side who will be lacking belief after two successive unexpected defeats and a poor away record in this competition.
Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Brugge vs. Lazio (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Club Brugge meet Roman giants Lazio for the first time in their history at the Jan Breydel Stadium on Wednesday night, as both sides look to capitalise on a strong start to Champions League Group F.
After opening victories - Brugge winning 2-1 away at Zenit St Petersburg, while Lazio completed an impressive defeat of Borussia Dortmund in Rome - a second win would put either side in the driver's seat, with last-16 qualification becoming ever more tangible.
We say: Club Brugge 1-2 Lazio
Neither side has excelled at this level in recent history, so it was something of a surprise to see both sitting top of Group F after opening night victories.
As Lazio look for three wins on the spin, the considerable guile of their experienced front line can continue an upswing in form by prolonging Brugge's terrible record against Italian teams.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Juventus vs. Barcelona (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Arguably the standout fixture of the 2020-21 Champions League group stage takes place in Turin on Wednesday night as Juventus host Barcelona in a repeat of the 2015 final.
Coronavirus may deny fans a much-anticipated reunion between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, but it will still be a star-studded occasion between two clubs with legendary figures as their new managers, both looking to make their mark.
We say: Juventus 2-1 Barcelona
Barcelona still have quite a few of the players that won the 2015 final against Juventus, but as a team they look a million miles away from being able to scale the heights of European football again at the moment.
Juventus have not been in great form themselves as they continue to find their feet under Pirlo, but they seem in less trouble than Barcelona and so we are backing them to come out on top on Wednesday - particularly if Ronaldo is passed fit too.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Ferencvaros vs. Dynamo Kiev (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Ferencvaros and Dynamo Kiev meet in the Champions League on Wednesday evening knowing that defeat may realistically leave them out of contention to qualify from Group G.
These two sides suffered opening-matchday defeats to Barcelona and Juventus respectively last week, upping the stakes ahead of the contest in Hungary.
We say: Ferencvaros 1-2 Dynamo Kiev
Having been comfortably beaten at Camp Nou last week, Ferencvaros will hope that a return to familiar territory will aid their chances in what they will regard as a winnable fixture. However, Kiev's greater experience on the European stage could shine through in what should be a closely-fought encounter.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a draw or an away win.

Man Utd vs. RB Leipzig (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Manchester United will be looking to make it two wins out of two in the Champions League when they welcome Bundesliga powerhouses RB Leipzig to Old Trafford for Wednesday's mouthwatering clash.
Similarly, the visitors also head into the match looking to maintain their 100% start following a 2-0 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir last week.
We say: Manchester United 2-2 RB Leipzig
Wednesday's clash has all the makings of a truly entertaining spectacle between two sides who boast a plethora of talent at both ends of the pitch. It seems incredible to think that one of United or Leipzig may not qualify for the knockout stages with PSG also in the group. Both teams will be desperate to take the spoils in this one, and with rotation likely on both ends, we think both sides will come away with a point.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.
