Dortmund vs. Real Madrid

Dortmund are on fire. Despite selling some of their most important players and changing their best generation, Dortmund are leading the standings in Bundesliga having the best attack with 19 goals scored and just 1 conceded in 6 rounds. Despite being the team with the possession and with the best scoring opportunities, Dortmund lost 3-1 to Tottenham so they should bounce back and win this tough home match against Los Blancos. Dortmund have never lost at home against Real Madrid and they enter this match full of confidence and determined to earn the three points. Real Madrid are struggling in their domestic league being seven points behind Barcelona but they started their Champions League season with a convincing 3-0 win over APOEL. We expect a goal-fest with both teams finding the back of the net and with at least 3 goals in the match. Best pick for the match: Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in the match at 1.6 with Coral.

Manchester City vs. Shakhtar Donetsk

The Citizens are scoring goals for fun against all their opponents. They are unbeaten in their last 10 Champions League home games including qualifiers. They destroyed Feyernoord 4-0 on the road in the 1st round and they enter this match as huge favourites. Shakhtar were the positive surprise of the 1st round pulling off the upset by winning home against Napoli. Their captain, Dario Srna will be out due to a doping allegation that is currently still being investigated. City should have enough to win this match in style securing their top spot in the group. Best pick for the match: Manchester City to win and over 3.5 goals in the match at 2.0 with Betfair.

CSKA Moscow vs. Manchester United

The Red Devils started their 2017/18 Champions League campaign with a great 3-0 win home with Basel and they travel to play CSKA Moscow in the 2nd round. United have been impressive in front of goal having the 2nd best attack in the Premier League with 17 goals scored in 6 round with their main striker Romelu Lukaku being top score with 6 goals scored so far. CSKA did great to shock Benfica winning away in Portugal 2-1 in the 1st round and sitting 2nd in the standings. This match will not be a walk in the park for the Red Devils so they should put their best effort and play at their highest level to win this encounter. The Special One’s main objective is to mathematically secure their qualify place as soon as possible so he will try to return home with the three points. United are the better and the more experienced side and they should win this clash in Russia. Best pick for the match: Manchester United to win at 1.7 with Bet365.

PSG vs. Bayern Munich

With Neymar missing due to a minor foot injury, PSG dropped their 1st points of the season in Ligue 1 being held to a goalless draw by Montpellier last weekend.

They let slip a 2 goal lead at home against Wolfsburg losing 2 points and sitting 3rd in the Bundesliga standings after 6 rounds. They have lost four of their last six away games in Champions League and failed to reach the UCL semi-finals for the 1st time in six years last term.
