It's another big night in the UEFA Champions League and Manchester City's opener will bring back memories of the greatest moment in the club's history.
Pep Guardiola's men beat Inter Milan by a single goal in the showpiece two seasons ago to get their hands on the European Cup for the first time.
And it's the Serie A giants who come calling tonight as the new Euro campaign gets underway at the Etihad.
Inter Milan will provide a stiff test, with the Italian champions unbeaten so far this season, but City have won all four of their league games and Erling Haaland is in lethal form.

Manchester City vs Inter Milan top betting tips
Manchester City and Real Madrid were the best teams in last season's Champions League by quite a distance so it's no great surprise to see Guardiola's side as Betfred's 1/2 favourites with home advantage.
But the English champions always give opponents chances and they've only kept one clean sheet in five games. Ipswich and Brentford managed to score at Etihad so Inter's impressive forwards could cause problems too.
Combining a Manchester City win with BTTS boosts the odds to a tempting 2/1 while backing both teams to score and over 2.5 also appeals at evens in a bet builder.
Some stats bets catch the eye too, with Inter midfielder Federico Dimarco evens just to commit a foul at Bet365 and Bernardo Silva 6/5 with the same firm for a shot on target.
Celtic vs Slovan Bratislava top tips
Celtic couldn't be in better shape heading into their UEFA Champions League opener with Bratislava after a busy summer transfer window and six successive wins on domestic duty.
They've found victories harder to come by in the Champions League, beating only Feyenoord at home across the last two campaigns, but Betfred make the Hoops 1/3 hot favourites against Slovan Bratislava.
Slovan are dining at the top table for the first time but came through four qualifiers, beating the likes of Apoel Nicosia and Midtjylland, so they need to be respected.
Celtic's record signing Arne Engels made an impressive full debut at home to Hearts on Saturday and opened his account with a cool penalty. He should now be on spot-kick duties and the midfielder looks a good long-odds option for a goal at 4/1 with Bet365.
Slovan's Tigran Barseghyan scored a double in their weekend win over Dunajska Streda, with the late winner also coming from the spot. He's 11/10 with Bet365 just to have an effort on target tonight and that looks decent value.
Bologna vs Shakhtar Donetsk top betting tips
Bologna are another team making their UEFA Champions League debut and the Renato Dall'Ara stadium will be rocking tonight as Shakhtar Donetsk come calling.
Losing manager Thiago Motta to Juventus over the summer was a blow for Bologna and they've made a poor start in Serie A, with three draws and a defeat so far.
But they're still unbeaten at home and Betfred make them 9/10 favourites to mark their debut at the top table with a win.
Shakhtar are Champions League regulars and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine hasn't affected their form in the tournament, with the team claiming wins over the likes of Leipzig, Antwerp and Barcelona in the last two seasons.
So I fancy over 2.5 goals and BTTS here at 11/10 with Betfred while the half-time draw could also pay off at 23/20.
Captain Riccardo Orsolini will be a key man for Bologna and he's 21/20 with Bet365 to either score or assist.

Going for similar to yesterday in the Asian CL
Ulsan v Kawasaki Btts and Over 2.5 at 19/20
3/4 meetings gone O2.5 inc a 2 2 and a 3 2. Ulsan regularly hit 2 at home. Kawasaki similar away. Some high scores in recent games.
Celtic v Bratislava should be a feisty affair with both teams going for the win. Hills go biggest about a red card in the match at 6/1 which is decent, but the value call has to be a Bratislava red at a monster price of 11/1 (also with Hills). This side are no stranger to red cards, both domestically and in Europe. Last season they collected a staggering 8 reds, with 5 of those in Euro ties and at the start of this season they’ve already picked up a red in a CL qualifier v Cluj.
** Slovan Bratislava to have a man sent off 11/1 at Hills **
GL with your bets.
Celtic vs Bratislava
V.Weiss to be carded @ 12/5 (bet365) Nap
Now 5/2 from the other day. Reasoning posted then.
It’s funny how one goal on the goal line can change your perception of a game. If this was sitting at over 4.5mgs I’d be all over it, and yet at one more goal I’m slightly more cautious. Charlottenlund u19 not that well versed in the u19 scene in Norway and only pop up now and again. Surprised this has even been listed if I am honest. Ranheim put 11 past them in April and while I would be surprised to see a similar scoreline, I still think they should be capable of hitting the 5/6 required here with Charlottelund contributing. A smaller staked Nb.
Ranheim u19 vs Charlottenlund u19
Over 5.5mgs @ 6/4 (bet365) Nb
Same applies to strathspey thistle tonight, the goal line of over 5.5mgs is probably one too far for me at 13/8, I’d say keep an eye on it inplay or closer to kick off as there should be goals.
Good luck 🤞
He’s 3/1 on betfair for a card mate ,
I don’t use betfair deano but I’d have jumped at that price, must be some of the best odds 👍
Might double your booking with my Tigran Barseghyan to have a shot on target in a bet builder,see what price it is later in-store
I’ve added him to a betbuilder me self lads added 11+ corners for a 7/1 shot 👍
Is that for a Weiss card & Barseghyan booking with them corners Deano?
Barseghyan is Slovaks penalty taker too incase they get a pen
Barseghyan shot on target not booking 😐
Just the Weiss card and corners mate I’m guessing the shot on target will be fairly short won’t it ,
He’s 21/20 at Wullie Hills buddy but may be more elsewhere
Does Weiss start for bratislava?
Cracking tip mate well done

Looks good to me
Cocker,
For the 20+ booking points each team, use the “BuildABet” feature on Sky and add 20 points for Celtic & 20 points for Slovan individually.
You should then get odds of 2.63 instead of 2.38
HTH

Agree with Macca, the price on Celtic is crazy short. Its been priced up like they were playing Hearts, and the Slovaks are clearly better than that. While the hoops should have enough to win I just can’t see it being that comfortable.
I’ve got 4/5 on Bratislava +2 on the asian hcp. (betfair)
Hi Baldy45, you can get 6/5 for Bratislava +2 with Skybet, if not already on!!!
@williegee, that skybet price on Bratislava +2 is for the straight hcp, not asian hcp – huge difference.
with the asian handicap, if Celtic win by 2 goals, I get my stake back. On straight hcp, I would lose the bet.

Well done lads on the Weiss card cracking shout , like i said earlier i added 11+ corners to it which came in at 7/1 , makes up for my own crappy picks this week lol
Man shity wear that shirt with pride on the training field
Pity they don’t have a decent shirt to wear for the match
Haaland tried to swop his at full time but no one from Milan wanted it
Once again the pride of the premiership (the best league in the world) show just why they are the best
They can only get to the edge of the 18yrd box then they have to stop because no one on the team knows how to beat the opposition – but to be fair they all have beautiful hair cuts
The premier league is not the best league in the world pal
It is the best league in the world,just that the best players in that league are from foreign shores and not English
“The Best league in the world” I was being sarcastic
