MAN CITY will virtually book a Champions League last-16 place with victory against Atalanta tonight.
City have two wins from two while the Italian rookies have lost both of their openers with six goals conceded.
And holes in their defence were exposed again when they conceded three in the second half to Lazio at the weekend.
Key man Kevin de Bruyne is back and Sergio Aguero is set to start after being rested against Crystal Palace.
The problem is City are too short at 2-9 with McBookie but Atalanta lost 4-0 to Dinamo Zagreb and this should be a matter of how many the English win by.
If they're in the mood they should cover the -2 handicap at 6-4 with Paddy Power.
Atalanta have netted 15 in six so could contribute at the Etihad and over 3.5 match goals should land at 17-20 with betfair.
Aguero is 11-4 at Unibet to net first with de Bruyne 8-1 at Betfred and Raheem Sterling 7-2 with the same firm.
Spurs are suffering a crisis of confidence with a 1-1 draw at home to Watford their latest setback.
The Londoners have won one in six and last time out in the Champions League were hammered 7-2 at home to Bayern as they slumped to the foot of Group B.
Mauricio Pochettino's men welcome Red Star Belgrade and while they could get a result there won't be queues of people backing them at a best 2-7 with McBookie.
On the evidence of the last game back over 2.5 goals at 1-2 with McBookie.
Bayern haven't hit the heights since that stunning 7-2 success in London and have slipped to third place after taking one point in two games.
However, they should be too hot for an Olympiakos side who fought back from 2-0 down to hold Spurs at home. Again I'm looking at goals and as the Greeks could contribute over 3.5 can come in at 7-5 with betfair.
It was Serge Gnabry and not Robert Lewandowski who hogged the headlines against Spurs with four goals in the second half. He looks value at 7-5 with Ladbrokes to score while Lewandowski is just 11-20 with Unibet.
In reality Group D should see Juventus and Atletico Madrid qualify with the Lokomotiv Moscow and Bayer Leverkusen vying for third.
Juve, unbeaten in 10 and sitting top of Serie A as usual, are just 2-9 at Betfred and should win by at least two at and that pays 4-6 at sportingbet.
Cristiano Ronaldo recently celebrated his 700th career goal and there's no stopping him yet. He is 23-10 with Ladbrokes to score first.
Complete a treble with Atletico Madrid at home to a Bayer side that's suffered some heavy defeats recently including 3-0 at Juventus. The Spaniards are 4-6 at Betfred.
