The revamped Champions League has brought a lot more excitement to the tournament and there's so much at stake as the league phase comes to a conclusion tonight.
Celtic's trip to Villa Park should be a cracker, with both sides still in with a chance of gatecrashing the top eight to seal automatic entry to the last 16.
Ninth-placed Villa stand more of a chance than the Hoops, who need so many results elsewhere to go their way even if they do manage to shock Unai Emery's men.
But Brendan Rodgers will still be desperate for a win as the former Leicester boss takes on English opposition for the first time since his return to Parkhead.
Aston Villa vs Celtic top betting tips
Celtic have lost two of their first-choice forwards for this match, with winger Daizen Maeda suspended and striker Kyogo Furuhashi sold to Rennes. They're also without key defender Cameron Carter-Vickers so it's no surprise to see Villa as BoyleSports' 1/2 favourites.
We should see a few goals in this one as neither side has looked solid in defence in recent weeks. So I'm going to combine an Aston Villa victory with over 2.5 goals at 23/20 with BoyleSports.
There was another Battle of Britain last week but that clash between Manchester United and Rangers wasn't very fiery as only one card was dished out.
I'm expecting the referee to be a bit more busy tonight and combative Hoops full-back Alastair Johnston looks good at 23/10 to be carded.
Manchester City vs Club Brugge top betting tips
Nobody expected Manchester City to be flirting with elimination heading into their final game but Pep Guardiola's men have no margin for error against Club Brugge tonight.
Last week's 4-2 loss to PSG has left City sitting 25th in the table but a win over the Belgians would see them scrape into the play-offs on 11 points.
Brugge are already on the 11-point mark but need a point to be 100 per cent sure of progressing so it will be interesting to see if they try to park bus.
Attack looks like the best form of defence against this City side so I'm going to combine BTTS with over 2.5 goals, which pays 6/5 at BoyleSports.
Phil Foden has found his shooting boots again and is 5/4 for anytime scorer. For a long-odds option, he's 12/1 to score from outside the box.
Stuttgart vs Paris St-Germain top betting tips
Paris St-Germain were brilliant last week as they battered City at the Parc des Princes and that win has teed up a cracking final-day shoot-out at Stuttgart.
Both teams sit on 10 points so a draw might be enough to take each of them through. But Stuttgart's goal difference is worse than PSG's so I'd imagine they will be going for a win in case a point isn't enough.
I can't see the French champions playing for a stalemate and the 13/8 on offer for a PSG win at BoyleSports looks good value based on their display last week.
Ousmane Dembele made a big impact off the bench against City and the winger looks good at 5/2 for anytime scorer.
We should see goals at both ends in this game too and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays 6/5.

Cameron Carter Vickers sitting out tonight’s match at Villa, Celtic simply aren’t as good defensively without the big American. Scales & Trusty are both lefties and I don’t fancy then together against Villas forwards. Schmeichel should have a busy night
Villa 3+ team goals 8/5
Schmeichel saves – 5+ 11/8 6+ 14/5
Over 3 Goals, Over 2 Cards, Over 9 Corners 19/5
Villa v Celtic
—————–
Bit of a long-shot, but an outrageous value bet here IMO is Celtic to miss a penalty at 25/1 (b365 price)
I’ve been waiting on this bet for a few weeks and its based on Villa goalkeeper Martinez’ famed prowess at saving pens.
Obviously the bet relies on Celtic firstly being awarded a pen, but if they do I’ve be pretty confident of Martinez saving it or the Celtic player missing it (Engels missed his last pen which was an awful attempt and might still be on his mind if he has to step and take one tonight).
An outsider bet for sure but should be nowhere near 25/1, so I’ll take these sorts of long-shot punts all day if I see them.

Bayern Munich v Slovan Bratislava
———————————————-
One of the most one-sided looking fixtures of this seasons Champions League and the odds reflect that with Bayern priced up between 1/50 and 1/100, and with Bayern needing to win this now after their last shock defeat at Feyenoord, there will be no slacking off tonight from the Germans. So that makes finding a bet very tricky, the usual options including high handicaps and high corners. But I’ve found what looks like a cracking bet at a cracking price.
** A Penalty awarded in the game is 7/4 with Bet365. **
That looks big to me and here’s why. Bayern typically get a lot of pens, that should come as no surprise but the key to predicting when they get them is in the scorelines. Again it should come as no surprise that they get more pens in matches where they score a lot of goals. In their 7 Champions League matches so far, they’ve already scored 4 pens, with 3 of them coming in the same game – the 9-2 thrashing of Zagreb. Their other pen came in their other big win when they put 5 past
Shaktar. So I see a few goals for Bayern tonight and there’s a decent chance of a pen – and it doesn’t even have to be scored. In fact even a pen award for Bratislava will also bring this bet up, since its ANY pen awarded in the game. I see this as closer to an Even money chance, so I’ve had a good bet on it.
GL with your bets.
baldy looking at your bet mate it is 4/6 for a pen to be awarded with Sky . G . L.

Going for Idah anytime scorer Johnston and mcgregor to be booked. Over 60s with 25 percent boost on Boylesports.. Only 30/1 with ladbrokes
Idah scored. Not a single card in the game 🧐
Anyone doing a bet on Johnston for Celtic.. he is 1 card away from a suspension so might be rested\subbed or take it easy with that in mind
