UEFA Champions League SGP for PSV Eindhoven at Olympiacos
Over 2.5 total goals and both teams to score -121
Olympiacos are undefeated at home this season (W6, D1) and could be in a good position to secure their first win of the 2025/26 Champions League campaign -- at least on paper. However, it's unclear if they'd have enough quality on the defensive end to deal with the threat of PSV. The Eredivisie giants are coming off one of their best European performances in recent memory with a 6-2 blowout win over Napoli, and even though their W1, D1, L1 record in the Champions League isn't eye-popping, having secured points in the duels against Bayer Leverkusen and Napoli stands out.
PSV Eindhoven should rely on their attacking power to confuse an Olympiacos defensive line that has allowed seven goals in their last two European fixtures. Playing in Greece isn't easy due to the atmosphere, and since Olympiacos are a strong team at home, it's not out of the question that they'll put up a fight here. All signs point to this matchup being a high-scoring affair, though. The Greek side has scored at least twice in each of their previous four domestic encounters at this venue, while PSV have seen both teams score and over 2.5 total goals in eight of their last 10 encounters across all competitions. That trend could very well continue this Tuesday.
UEFA Champions League over/under bet for Real Madrid at Liverpool
Under 3.5 total goals -127
Liverpool took a step in the right direction this past weekend with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa, but it's impossible to ignore their woes. The Reds might be coming off a 5-1 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt in their previous Champions League contest, but they've won just two of their last eight matches in all competitions (W2, L6). Real Madrid are in flying form and their dominant 4-0 victory over Valencia in La Liga pushed their winning run to six in all competitions while losing just once in their last 10.
It would be easy to imagine a game filled with scoring chances at both ends of the pitch, given the attacking talent these two clubs possess. However, this is going to be a tight matchup, though it's bigger for Liverpool since they've already dropped points in the current UCL league phase. Considering Liverpool's overall struggles, as well as the fact that Real Madrid didn't take too many risks in their previous game against Juventus in the UCL, it wouldn't be surprising to see Los Merengues being slightly conservative in this trip to Anfield. With that in mind, this could very well turn into a relatively low-scoring game. After all, four of the previous six head-to-head UCL meetings since the start of the 2020-21 season have ended with three total goals or fewer.
UEFA Champions League Best Bets for Bayern Munich at PSG
Bayern Munich to win +168
The marquee matchup of Tuesday's nine-game slate, this matchup will not only feature the first- and second-placed teams in the standings, but there's a strong argument to say these are two of the three best squads in the world right now. PSG are the favorites to win here based on the odds, but it's impossible to count out Munich. This is a team that has yet to lose (or even draw) in 15 competitive matches this season, and they've won each of their three Champions League matches so far by two goals or more.
Bayern Munich could also have a slight psychological edge ahead of this contest, as Die Roten have won the last four head-to-head meetings in the Champions League against the Ligue 1 giants while keeping a clean sheet each time. PSG did defeat Bayern Munich in the FIFA Club World Cup over the summer, but it's hard to see any team in the world getting past Bayern right now. It might end up being a low-scoring affair just based on the quality of both clubs, but in the end, don't be surprised if Bayern get the win here. Paris Saint-Germain will need to be at their best if they're going to get something at home.
Royale Union SG at Atletico Madrid Betting and Goalscoring Odds
Julian Alvarez to score anytime -115
Julian Alvarez snapped a four-game goal drought between LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League with his goal against Sevilla this past weekend. The star forward delivered a dominant performance the last time Atletico Madrid played at home in the Champions League as well, notching one goal and two assists in the club's 5-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. Those are his only three goal contributions in Europe this season, but he has a good chance of making an appearance on the scoresheet in this matchup against Royale Union SG.
Alvarez has eight goals and four assists across 13 starts between La Liga and the UCL, and there's no doubt he's the team's go-to option upfront, ahead of Antoine Griezmann and Alexander Sorloth. Alvarez's quality is something Royale Union defenders aren't used to dealing with on a regular basis, and this is a team that has conceded nine goals in three matches during the league phase, including back-to-back 4-0 losses against Newcastle United and Inter Milan. Alvarez could take advantage of those defensive woes to bolster his scoring tally in the Champions League.
