Five Champions League Betting Tips: Including Manchester City and Van Persie

Spartak Moscow to win both halves against Celtic at 8/5 with 188bet

The main reason for this tip is that all of the odds for Spartak Moscow to win the game outright are odds on. Domestically Spartak Moscow have a one hundred per cent record so far this season with three wins from three. They were also unlucky to get a draw away at Barcelona. Celtic have been inconsistent away from home in the SPL with two wins, one draw and a defeat. They could find the going a little too tough here.

Robin Van Persie to score at any time against Cluj at 23/20 with Sportingbet

Robin Van Persie is yet to open his Manchester United account in the Champions League but he has five goals from four games in the Premier League. Take United’s first performance against Galatasaray into the equation and they could be looking to make an example out of Cluj in this match with Van Persie likely to feature in attack. The odds are just the right side of evens but will still provide a decent return.

Ajax to get a draw against Real Madrid at 4/1 with Bwin

Ajax will be up against it for most of this match but their home form in the Dutch league has been superb. They have won three and drawn one scoring ten goals and conceding only two. This suggests they are extremely confident in front of their own fans. Real were lucky to get off the hook against Manchester City in their first game and they have already lost twice away from home in the league.

Manchester City to beat Borussia Dortmund by one goal at 3/1 with Bet365

Manchester City have not been in the best form so far this season on all fronts. However, they have been far from abysmal and they should be confident of beating the German champions on their own turf. Dortmund are a very difficult team to break down which suggests the match will be tight but City should have enough fire power in attack to win by a goal at good odds.

Malaga to win away at Anderlecht at 11/8 with BetVictor

It’s amazing that the Spanish side are not odds on to win away at Anderlecht. They currently sit second in La Liga thanks in large part to their superb away form. They have won two games away from home in the league with two goals scored and they are yet to concede. Add to the mix their 3-0 win over Zenit in their first group game and you have the recipe for a very confident side at a price which will only shorten.
