BARCELONA and Ajax are the first Champions League semi-finalists and the line-up will be completed on Wednesday night.
I tipped Barca to win and over 2.5 goals at Juventus v Ajax for an 8-5 winner – my only bet of the day.
It was easy for Barca but what about Ajax? The Dutch, inspired by a group of kids including teen skipper Matthjis de Ligt, blew away Juve in the second half and could have scored five or six. Their football was brilliant and Man City or Spurs won't relish facing them in the semis.
City host the Londoners who are 1-0 up while Porto try to overturn a 2-0 deficit to Liverpool. I've posted a separate Champions League preview here.
Grant Heaney has posted a Man City vs Spurs preview and kevinmac has put up his thoughts on Porto vs Liverpool.
My double was one of the tips on my CL preview where I also tipped Messi and Ronaldo first scorers. I advised the double in the Daily Record at 10-1 as the Star Bet of the Day.
Well done to all the other winners on Tuesday including Scott with another success on the members bet and he's in great form. He's posted more bets for tonight including a 10-1 BetBuilder on Man City vs Spurs.
Other games on Wednesday include Lazio v Udinese in Serie A and Nantes v PSG in Ligue 1.
Lazio have a game in hand over the rest of the Europa League contenders while Udinese are fighting to beat the drop. It's Udinese's away form – one win in 17 – that makes me believe this is a step too far from them even if they showed signs of improvement in recent weeks.
In France PSG need a point at Nantes to clinch the title and I think they'll win after being embarrassed 5-1 at Lille at the weekend.
This is their third attempt at clinching the championship and they still hold a 17-point lead. PSG have won their last six at Nantes and in normal circumstances would be about 1-2 or 1-3 to win but you can have just under evens so worth the risk.
Lazio and PSG are fairly obvious picks so let's hope they don't let us down. I'm adding them to Man City to make a treble.

Prices too big for hendo in his new role. Will keep backing him until end of the season if prices stay this big.
Good spot.
Capiata got the goal against Cerro Porteno – that was the hard bit – scoring a 3rd should have been the easier part – final score 1-1 🙈
Well done all winners!

CZECH REPUBLIC 2ND LEAGUE
SK DYNAMO CESKE BUDEJOVICE v FK MAS TABORSKO (16:00 KO)
BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
6/4
Bet365
NAP
Teams at different ends of the league (the hosts 6 points clear at the top with the visitors 2nd bottom in the relegation zone) which may explain the price but the most of the stats make good reading for the tip in my opinion.
Ceske are on a crazy run of six straight wins since the return and have only conceded in two of those games which may put you off, however visitors Taborsko in the same run of games have scored in 5/6 (BTTS also) one of which was against 2nd placed Vysocina Jihlava.
H2H wise as far as I can see goes back eight games, BTTS has came up in 6/8 meetings, 4/4 when it comes to the Ceske being at home, which makes me sure it’s worth a go.
Ceske no clean sheet is also 5/4, but I can’t see the hosts not scoring so will go for the bigger price on both sides contributing.
Ceske to win and btts is 21/10 also which I wouldn’t put you off if looking for bigger odds.

FRAM VS. ÝMIR (8.00pm):
Quality mismatch here with Fram – a handy 1 Dield and former Urvalsdeild side – taking on Ymir from the 5th tier of Icelandic football.

Never got off the ground, one goal short in the first game. The season is in its infancy so using last seasons stats but the real money maker is Russia division 4, more reliable and cricket scores galore. Good luck to everyone with their bets today.

No joy with the Czech tip, home side dominant (4-0) as expected but managing to keep a clean sheet unfortunately for me.
Had 9 corners to the home side’s 2 and more possession but no goal which is what I needed.

GENERAL DÍAZ VS. SOL DE AMÉRICA (11.15pm):
Two sides battling it out at the bottom but SDA in particular aren’t a bad side who play free-flowing attacking football – just wonder if goals might be on the cards and there’s been a few ding-dongs between the two – all around this stage of the Apertura campaigns in recent seasons!

Well in Macca lad. Seen a guy today lumping £3000 in Ireland Sean Graham bookmakers on spurs plus 2 at evens
Could be a Spurs v Liverpool final.
or ajax v barca final, which will be more likely.
Well done Spurs never spent a penny in the summer good coaching gets results let that be a leason.
unbelievable game, one of the best I’ve ever seen. well done Spurs.
Can anyone help on this Bet builder? I took Filipe Dongo Leite by mistake (instead of Felipe) and that part was voided as he wasn’t in the team. Rather than reduce the odds, Bet365 have just returned the stake! Anyone else had this? Surely that’s wrong?
Liverpool to qualify

They void the bet mate when a player doesn’t start
What macca said is spot on mate. If any part of a BetBuilder is effectively a “non runner” they void the WHOLE bet, not just that part
That’s correct unfortunately. I’ve been a victim in the past.
It’s part of the BetBuilder’s terms and conditions.
As they’re priced specially all legs have to win or the bet is void.
Thanks all, didn’t know that and very frustrating as I thought that was just a reduced win. Lesson learned but may have a moan at them for putting a player on who wasn’t even in the match squad! Bet was only placed about half an hour before kick off.
