Mr Fixit’s Champions League Tips: Spurs face tough German test

SPURS stopped the rot on Saturday by sinking Southampton but I fear for them tonight.

Last season's runners-up blew a two-goal last at Olympiakos first time out and now welcome Group B favourites Bayern Munich.

The Germans won their opener 3-0 against Red Star and returned to the top of the Bundesliga last weekend after an unbeaten start.

Spurs lost to Leicester and then Colchester on penalties and don't look as good as last season with boss Mauricio Pochettino under a bit of pressure so Bayern could take advantage at 23-20 with BetVictor.

The odds could be better though and on an acca I'd rather take both to score at 1-2 with McBookie.

Bayern are averaging three a game in the league and Robert Lewandowski has hit 11 in seven. The Pole is 19-20 at Coral to net.

Spurs have kept one clean sheet this season but have Harry Kane in hot form with four goals in five. He is 27-20 to score.

There are previews of all eight of tonight's matches on the site and check out SlipsTips' thoughts on Man City vs Bayern.

The other game in Group sees Red Star entertain Olympiakos and it's worth noting the Serbs' home form which is quite magnificent.

They're a dangerous side on their own territory and have suffered just two defeats in 20 Euro ties at home. Olympiakos are a dangerous outfit but Greek sides are often poor travellers and I'm looking at Red Star draw no bet at 6-5 with Marathonbet.

While Spurs are up against it it should be a stroll for Man City at home to Dinamo Zagreb. City are no bigger than 1-12 at Unibet to win so on an acca I'm taking -2 Asian at 3-10.

Pep Guardiola's men have netted 17 without reply since losing to Norwich and a win to nil pays 4-5 at sportingbet.

Sergio Aguero has been rested for two games and can bounce back with the opener at 5-2 with Betfred.

Scott is as confident as me about City and check out his comprehensive match preview here.

The other game in City's Group C is Atalanta v Shakhtar Donetsk and it's an interesting one.

Debut boys Atalanta were mauled by Dinamo Zagreb in their opener but they're better than that while Shakhtar hardly laid a glove on City.

Atalanta have recovered with two Serie A wins and tempt at 5-6 with bet365 against a side that's lost eight of their last 11 Euro excursions.

Real Madrid have got their mojo back and after a difficult start to the season are back on top of La Liga.

It's been tough times for boss Zinedine Zidane but the pressure is off for now and he'll hope for a stress-free night when Bruges visit. Real are no bigger than 2-7 to win but should do so with plenty to spare so take them -1 at 4-5 with Sky Bet.

The other game sees Galatasaray entertain PSG and plenty of people are tipping a shock including selectabet so check out his excellent match preview here.

I've not been impressed by PSG in Ligue 1 but they were excellent in beating Real Madrid 3-0 at home in matchday one.

For sure I can't be having the French champions at 1-4 so what about Gala +2 at 19-20 with Coral.

In Group D Juventus are 1-2 to beat Bayer Leverkusen at home and I can't see how this can go wrong.

The Germans were beaten at home to Lokomotiv Moscow first time out and that was a real shock. It's Juve for me and Cristiano Ronaldo to score first at 3-1 with Marathonbet.

Possibly the toughest game to call is Lokomotiv v Atletico Madrid as we all know the Spanish don't always travel well while dominating at home. A draw is possible and kevinmac has had a go at calling this one here.
