Wednesday’s football tips: Chelsea Women 2/1 to score in both halves against Arsenal

It's advantage Arsenal in the Women's Champions League quarter-final but Chelsea will be looking to turn things around at home in the second leg tonight.

The Gunners claimed a 3-1 win against their London rivals last week, although Blues boss Sonia Bompastor was fuming over the standard of refereeing.

Chelsea need to go for it tonight as they bid to make up that two-goal deficit so it promises to be another exciting encounter.

Chelsea Women vs Arsenal Women

Chelsea warmed up for this huge European tie by beating Aston Villa 3-2 at the weekend while Arsenal thrashed North London rivals Spurs 5-2.

So it's pointing towards a high-scoring game tonight, with BTTS and over 2.5 goals paying 20/21 in a bet builder at Bet365.

Bompastor certainly has enough firepower at her disposal to turn this tie around and I also like the 2/1 on offer at Bet365 for the Blues to score in each half.

Bayern Munich Women vs Manchester United Women

Manchester United have a mountain to climb in their Women's Champions League quarter-final after losing 3-2 at home to Bayern Munich last week.

This is United's first crack at the Champions League proper and their inexperience showed in the first leg as the Germans gained the upper hand.

I backed Pernille Harder to do some damage and the Dane proved to be the difference between the sides, netting a match-winning double.

After the first leg, it's no surprise to see Bayern Munich as 8/15 hot favourites for another win tonight, with the Red Devils as big as 23/5 at BetMGM.

Manchester United need to go for it so this should be another open game, with BTTS and over 2.5 goals paying just 8/11 here.

After Harder's first-leg heroics, I'm surprised to see her as big as 5/4 with BetMGM for another goal and that looks well worth a punt.

Racing Santader vs Sporting Gijon

The race for promotion in Spain's second tier is fascinating and leaders Racing Santander will be looking to take another step towards the title by beating Sporting Gijon at home tonight.

Just eight points separated the top seven heading into the latest round of fixtures so every match will be crucial heading down the home straight.

Deportivo La Coruna moved level on points with Santander by winning last night so Racing will be out to respond in kind.

Sporting Gijon sit in mid-table at the moment but they still have a chance of reaching the play-off places, making it a high-stakes game tonight.

Racing Santander should be racing clear at the top but they've been wobbling of late, following up a 4-0 home thrashing by Albacete with a 2-0 loss on the road in Zaragoza.

Sporting Gijon's form is even worse, with one win in seven, so it's easy to see why they are 14/5 outsiders tonight at Bet365.

Four of those seven games have been draws so there may be some value in the stalemate at 5/2 with most firms. But I've a feeling Racing Santander will edge this with home advantage and they're evens at Unibet to get the title bid back on track.
