With two rounds of fixtures to go there’s still plenty at stake in the Champions League group stages.
RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad and current champions, Manchester City have already qualified but top spot is still up for grabs in seven of the eight groups.
To get a handle on things check out BBC Sport’s explanation of who needs what to qualify.
Back-to-back defeats to Borussia Dortmund have left Newcastle with it all to do in Group F. The Magpies have a date in Paris tonight and defeat to PSG would see Eddie Howe’s men knocked out of the competition.
A rousing St James’ Park propelled Newcastle to a brilliant 4-1 win over the French champions on Matchday 2 but things could be a little different tonight. A win for PSG will put them in pole position in the group and could even be enough for them to qualify if Milan fail to beat Dortmund.
Mpabbe and co. have already taken care of business on home soil, beating Dortmund 2-0 and Milan 3-0 so will be unfazed by tonight’s visitors and look solid enough at 8/13. It’s also 8/13 for the Ligue 1 side to score two or more and 5/6 if you combine both in a BetBuilder.
Man City’s work is just about done in Group G. They’ve already qualified and a point against RB Leipzig will ensure top spot.
RBL have qualified too so this could go one of two ways; a dull dead rubber with nothing much to play for, or two teams just going for it without having to worry about the consequences. If you fancy the latter it’s 6/5 for a repeat of their meeting on Matchday 2 and four (or more) goals to be scored.
Despite just one point from four games and a -9 goal difference it’s still mathematically possible for Celtic to qualify from Group E.
First things first, they need to win against Lazio tonight (a 19/4 shot), whilst scoring two or more, and hope that Atletico Madrid (8/5 Bet365) can do them a favour by beating Feyenoord.
They’ll take hope from their last trip to Rome when Olivier Ntcham secured a famous victory with a late winner in 2019 but it was the Italians who turned the tables when the sides met earlier in the competition, Pedro popping up in the 95th minute to snatch a 2-1 win.
The Hoops went toe-to-toe with the Serie A side at Celtic Park but it’s usually a tale of woe on the road. It’s now 16 away games in Europe since Celtic kept a clean sheet and it’s difficult to see a shut out tonight.
With that in mind the 7/10 on Over 2.5 goals looks like it will be a good start on a goals acca tonight as does the 8/13 on two or more Lazio goals.
Shakhtar Donetsk could be the best bet of the night at 21/20 to beat Antwerp in neutral Hamburg. The Ukrainians pulled off the result of Matchday 4 with a 1-0 win over 5-time winners Barcelona and could still top the group.
Antwerp are one only two teams without a point a across the competition and have the worst defensive record. They surrendered a two-goal lead to Shakhtar last month which won’t fill them with much confidence ahead of tonight’s 5.45pm kick-off.
Looking elsewhere tonight there’s a clutch of games in the Championship, strong cards in League One and Two as well as a smattering of matches in Scotland.
QPR look like they should still be opposed. New manager Marti Cifuentes hasn’t turned things around just yet and its now 11 without a win for Rangers. Visitors Stoke suffered their first defeat in six against Blackburn at the weekend and have failed to score in their last three games. At 5/4 for the away win its as much a bet against QPR than for Stoke.
There could be goals at Watford v Norwich. The Canaries’ 1-0 win over QPR was the first in six that didn’t go over 2.5 goals whilst the Hornets have score two or more in five of their last six at Vicarage Road. Over 2.5 Goals pays 17/20.
There were another 44 goals in the 11 League Two matches on Saturday (3.66 per game) with nine see both teams score and the same number going Over 2.5 Goals.
Notts County, who were beaten 4-2 at AFC Wimbledon, continue to be the most entertaining with 74 goals scored in their 19 games so far (3.9 per match). Swindon aren’t far behind on 72 goals.
The Over 2.5 goal double on their games tonight pays 135/100.
Wins for Hamilton and Falkirk will be a popular double at a shade over 6/5. Both sides lead the way in League One. Montrose could be a tricky trip for Falkirk but Hamilton who have been knocked out of the Challenge Cup and Scottish Cup in recent weeks can get back to winning ways on league duty at struggling Annan.

Free bets humped tonight, slim pickings tonight so going for a BB in Brazil. 2 teams fighting for relegation in 17th & 18th place in Serie A with 4 games to go. 4 teams go down to Serie B so win for Cruzeiro will set them up nicely for last 3 games. Goias are 6 points adrift so needing the points to keep their slim chances off staying up alive. Going with cards here as should see a few.
Goais v Cruzeiro 00.00 KO – 63/10 insured wi PP
Maguinho 1+ fouls & be carded
Palacios 1+ fouls & be carded
3+ cards
Free punt as Palscios never got carded
Maguinho averages 2.27 fouls per game & has been booked 6 times in 2514 mins.
Palacios averages 2.67 fouls & has 3 cards to his name in 540 mins.
Not sure if Palacios will get the 90 mins but Maguinho should do.
20.66 to win and over 1 goal 5 fold
Man City
PSG
Lazio
Shaktar
Wrexham
In Man City’s last 2 home games against leipzig they have scored 6 + 7 goals. I don’t see why they can’t do it again.
Had a cheeky fiver with William hills’s epic boost on the following:
Haaland anytime
Man City over 1 FHG
Man City over 5 match goals @ 36/1
Sorry I meant over 5 Man City team goals.
Hello guys may you help me ,when the admin said Scottish double ,does it means you have to double the stake or it just means 2 Scottish matches only
Alson just means 2 teams no doubling of stakes.
Means an accumulator / parlay of the 2 games with those two teams to win, normal unit stake you use for parlay. Generally speaking, I don’t think the main articles on this site make any unit recommendations although you may see them down here in the comments boxes.
Note also that the language around that particular bet isn’t encouraging, my interpretation of what is written is that it is a bet many will be backing but they are lukewarm about Falkirk’s prospects
Ok thanks ricman
Its just a 2 leg or 2 team parlay. Admin combine the 2 team to give a reasonable odds as a single bet.
Basketball props from last night:
Maxey +26.5points ✅
Embiid u32.5 points ✅
Beautiful basketball by the 76ers, and Maxey was at the heart of it with too much energy for the aging Lakers as I predicted. You would have been sweating Embiid if you followed as he put up a Triple Double, but ultimately he fell short of that points line.
Melton +4.5R and +13.5 points ❌❌
I don’t know what happened to this guy, across the whole first half he managed to make zero offensive contributions. He then popped up in Q3 with 3 consecutive three pointers before missing his fourth and disappearing again. Sorry if you tailed.
Haliburton +24.5 pts ✅ +2.5 made 3’s ✅ +11.5A ❌
There was a faint hope that the Pacers could take this game to overtime, but ultimately they failed in a disappointing loss. Haliburton did his bit but not enough conversion of his passes from the rest of the team.
Last night’s stats
Props 12/20
Moneyline / handicaps 1/5

BGPU v Ulsan over 1.5 fhgs 11/10 or safer Btts 1/2
The three games where BGPU have played the bigger teams in the group have hit on both counts, including the previous 3-1 meeting between these teams. Ulsan still need something at this stage to qualify so should be going for the win.
BGPU v Ulsan over 1.5 fhgs 11/10 ✅or safer Btts 1/2 ✅ No sweat, 1st home within 27 min and second on 69 (hehe)
Winnings move on to Santiago Gimenez, ATG, and to score 2 or more, Feyenoord v Atletico. I’ve got to think that with that name he hopes to play in La Liga and tonight is his audition. Didn’t net in the away leg but had two at home v Lazio and a hat trick in his last league game.

Unlucky that mate saw the first 2 come in. Turned out to be a bit of a dead rubber the Swedish game from 7-0 1st leg score but you’d have though there’d have been a few goals
Ano mate the game sounded like a right farce kept getting interrupted due to power failures at the ground so I’m guessing that kept stopping any sort of rhythm , anyway let’s hope for better luck tonight , godluck whatever your on pal

Feyenoord v A Madrid
Red card 5/2
All to play for with a Feyenord win tonight leaving the group wide open.
Feyenord go to Celtic next week and Madrid play Lazio..
Last weeks fixture saw 5 yellows between the two teams with even more at stake tonight.
In my eyes the losers are out
Paddy are getting worse by the day man, sitting here waiting for my early CL winners to pay out so I can get them on the next set of games and they are dragging their heels.
I’ll go for away team to get more cards in these three games (singles, double and a treble) Newcastle,(5/4) Atletico (evens), Porto (evens) and as a side bet since Pepe is playing, a red card for Porto. (5/1)

Night owl ? LONG SHOT
Mexicali FC v Saltillo FC
at midnight
(some bookies have this as 2 or 3am !!!)
Mexican Liga Premier A ??
Mexicali to score 6-4
BTTS 9-5 ( some bookies have this as short as 5-4 for BTTS !!!)
Both BETWAY
Hosts are shit but do pop up with the odd goal scoring in 5/7 home games including one v league leaders chihuahua ?? and Saltillo rarely keep an away sheet conceding to the team just above mexicali in a 1-1 draw, but they will win this as odds suggest
Prediction 1-3
Finished in a shock 1-0 home win ?
4/5 for the tonight’s 5fold, Stockport bore draw killing it. Managed to get fiver BB offer up on Joelinton & Ugarte cards up at 8/1 so free fiver to use on Vasco de Gama Corinthians game at 00.30. Again both teams near the relegation zone so cards the way to go again
