The UEFA Champions League gets underway tonight and Manchester City are odds-on favourites to kick off with a win away to Porto.
Despite having Pep Guardiola at the helm for a decade, City only managed to get their hands on Europe's top prize once during the Catalan's long reign.
Enzo Maresca has now stepped into his shoes and will be looking to get off to a positive start in Europe after winning his first three Premier League games.
Porto vs Manchester City
Porto have flown out of the traps this season on domestic duty, winning six games in a row in league and cup.
They've only conceded once across all those games but have yet to face a big hitter and Manchester City represent a significant step up in class.
Maresca's side blew Crystal Palace away but failed to convince in their other Premier League games at home to Bournemouth and Coventry.
They should still have too much firepower for Porto, though, and Bet365 make the English side 7/10 favourites. I'm going to add on a goal for Erling Haaland to boost the odds to 6/5.
Manchester City haven't looked secure at the back so far this season, though, with their only clean sheet coming against Coventry thanks to a few fine saves from Gianluigi Donnarumma.
That makes me think we may see goals at both ends tonight and combining BTTS with over 2.5 strikes pays evens.
Club Brugge vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa have dazzled on the European stage under Unai Emery and will be hoping a return to Champions League action in Brugge tonight will spark their season into life.
Emery's side reached the quarter-finals on their last visit to Europe's top table and are back among the elite again after winning the Europa League last season.
But the spine of that side was ripped out in the summer and it has led to a poor Premier League start, with Villa banking just a point from three games.
The new signings should eventually come good though and I fancy the Premier League side tonight at decent odds of 6/4.
They won 3-1 in Belgium two seasons ago when they last faced Brugge in the Champions League and Emery usually delivers in these kind of games.
It should be a close encounter though and with these sides sizing each other up, the half-time draw looks worth a punt at 13/10.
Real Madrid vs Inter Milan
The best game for neutrals in the UEFA Champions League tonight sees Inter Milan head to the San Siro to take on Real Madrid.
Jose Mourinho is back in the Bernabeu dugout and sparks usually fly whenever the Special One is around.
He led Inter to Champions League glory when he was boss at the San Siro in 2010 and one of his former players, Cristian Chivu, is now in charge of the Nerazzurri.
Inter have won three in a row to kick off their Serie A title defence while Real Madrid are reeling from a 1-0 weekend loss at Real Betis.
But Bet365 make Mourinho's men 3/5 favourites tonight, probably because they have Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham in their ranks.
Mbappe is too short for anytime scorer at 4/7 with Bet365 but backing the Frenchman for over 2.5 shots on target is better at 6/5.
