Tuesday’s football tips: Barca star Yamal a tasty 11/4 for over 1.5 shots on target at Chelsea

There's some cracking games in the UEFA Champions League tonight, with Barcelona's clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge taking top billing.

The Blues head into the game in high spirits after a superb run of four wins and a draw in their last five outings.

But Barca also boast three wins and a draw in their last four and head to London with their tails up after battering Bilbao 4-0 at the weekend.

Chelsea vs Barcelona top betting tips

Thrills are usually guaranteed with Barcelona under Hansi Flick and Chelsea's speedy forwards could get some joy against a high defensive line.

It's no surprise to see BTTS at just 2/5 with most firms and adding on over 2.5 goals only increases the odds to 4/7.

That makes it hard finding value but over 1.5 first-half goals looks good at a best 21/20 with William Hill.

Lamine Yamal's return to fitness has been a big boost for Barca and the wonderkid is 11/4 with Bet365 to have over 1.5 shots on target. He's also 6/4 to test the keeper from outside the box.

Marseille vs Newcastle United

Newcastle will be hoping Saturday's brilliant win over Manchester City can spark their season into life but they have a tough game tonight away to Marseille in the Champions League.

Facing Roberto De Zerbi's vibrant side is a tall order after such a draining weekend assignment so the French side look worth a punt at 23/12 with Unibet.

Marseille have lost just once all season at the Velodrome and even European champions PSG ended up suffering a defeat there.

Newcastle can take heart from the fact that one home loss came against Atalanta in Marseille's last Champions League match.

The Magpies will carry a threat as usual so combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals could pay off at 11/10 with SkyBet.

Manchester City vs Bayer Leverkusen

Manchester City's Premier League title hopes suffered a blow with that loss to Newcastle but they should get back to winning ways tonight against Bayer Leverkusen in Europe.

The Germans have found a bit of form again and head into this game off the back of three successive wins in all competitions.

But they were humbled 3-0 by Bayern in Munich before that and City should have too much quality for them at the Etihad.

Pep Guardiola's side are just 3/13 with Unibet for the win but combining that with over 3.5 goals boosts the odds to 6/5 at William Hill.

That looks worth a punt after PSG scored seven against Leverkusen, while the Germans are missing key players Robert Andrich and Edmond Tapsoba with suspensions.

Erling Haaland had an off-day at St James' Park but will be back for more tonight and is 21/10 at Unibet to open to scoring.
