Les Dogues lively outsiders at home to moderate Juventus
Juventus’ history of European heavyweight status is the only excuse for Lille’s 19/10 underdog status at home to the men from Turin.
The French side beat holders Real Madrid 1-0 in their last Champions League home game and followed that up with a 3-1 win away to Atletico Madrid in their most recent outing in the tournament.
Betzone offer a generous 23/20 about Les Dogues with the draw-no-bet concession and that looks well worth taking against visitors that have won just twice in their last six outings in all competitions and lost 0-1 at home to Stuttgart in their last UCL match.
Tip: Lille to beat Juventus (draw no bet) @ 23/20
Add overs kicker to charm the value out of easy Feyenoord win
It seems the years in which you could rely on Red Bull Salzburg to be a good deal more competitive than champions of Austria ought to be in Europe appear to be over.
Former Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders has overseen three straight losses to nil in the Champions League despite facing some of the competition’s lesser lights in Sparta Prague, Brest and Dinamo Zagreb.
Feyenoord are rightfully 8/15 to win in the circumstances but the addition of over 2.5 goals boost the victory odds for the De Kuip side to 23/20.That looks worth having given their three UCL games to date this term have all paid out on over 3.5 goals bets.
To improve our chances further, the Dutchmen have conceded at least once in each of them, as well as scoring three times in consecutive away wins over Girona and Benfica.

Bayern vs Benfica UCL form flags value bet in Allianz ding-dong
In this season’s Champions League Bayern Munich and Benfica have already found themselves on both ends of big scorelines.
That explosive but unpredictable quality makes odds of 8/1 about both teams scoring in both halves worthy of consideration when they meet in Bavaria.
Over 3.5 goals would be a safer way to target a typically high-scoring game for these sides at odds of a very reasonable 5/6.
Bayern have gone from beating Dinamo Zagreb 9-2 at one end of the spectrum to losing 4-1 away to Barcelona last time out, while Benfica followed up their 4-0 home win over Atletico Madrid by losing 3-1 to Feyenoord in front of their own fans two weeks later.
However, at chunky odds of 8/1 it’s worth chancing that the chaotic nature of the sides’ UCL participation this season can affect both their offensive and defensive capabilities in the same fixture.
