The Champions League returns with a couple of crackers tonight as the knockout stages get underway.
Tottenham head to the San Siro for the first leg of their last-16 tie with AC Milan and the outcome will depend on which version of Spurs turns up.
Will it be the team that defeated Manchester City 1-0 or the side humbled 4-1 by Leicester at the weekend?
Antonio Conte will take heart from the fact Milan are in woeful form, with their 1-0 weekend win over Torino ending a seven-game run without a victory.
The Rossoneri were leaking goals during that dip and Tottenham defended like schoolboys at the King Power on Saturday.
That bodes well for goals tonight, even though first legs can be a bit cagey. McBookie price BTTS at just 8/11 but over 2.5 goals is better at evens with William Hill.
Rafael Leao will be the biggest threat for Milan and he’s 17/5 at Unibet for anytime scorer. The same firm price him at 22/25 just to have a shot on target and that looks good value.

- Wed 20:00 Borussia Dortmund vs Chelsea
PSG and Bayern Munich contested the final three years ago and now face off in a last-16 clash of the titans.
The French champions have lost two in a row and have fitness doubts over Kylian Mbappe and Leo Messi.
That makes the Germans tempting at 7/5 with McBookie for a win at the Parc des Princes tonight.
Thomas Muller will be involved in some aerial battles so I like the 10/11 at Unibet for him to commit over 0.5 fouls.
Champions League Tip
- Super singles: R Leao shot on target (22/25, Unibet). Bayern to win (7/5, McBookie).
- McBookie bet builder: Combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals in Milan pays 116/100.
