You’ve got to love the ultra-competitive environs of the Champions League quarter-final second legs, where the ties are so competitive that odds-against win bets are plentiful.
Even brilliant Barcelona aren’t far off qualifying for that criteria at 4/5 away to a Borussia Dortmund side they battered 4-0 at the Camp Nou a week ago. We harness a surprising away stat to shift our Blaugrana bet the other side of even money.

Difficult to see how relentless Parisians don’t win at Villa Park
It’s difficult to understate Paris Saint-Germain’s dominance in their 3-1 first leg win over Aston Villa at the Parc des Princes – a performance in which they registered 75.4% possession and 29 efforts on goal.
On the back of that effort it’s a pleasant surprise to see them trading at what looks a generous 6/4 for victory at Villa Park – even if there will be plenty of media noise about the hosts fancying their chances against anyone on home turf.
The Villans have only lost twice at home in all competitions this term, but Liverpool had only lost once at Anfield in 2024/25 prior to PSG going there and Luis Enrique’s men are more than capable of another win in England on that evidence.
Tip: Paris Saint-Germain to beat Aston Villa @ 21/20
Nerazzurri win worth chancing given Bayern’s UCL road form
Inter Milan ended the longest unbeaten home-run in the Champions League (22 games) when they turned over Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena a week ago and the Serie A side look decent value to prevail again at Giuseppe Meazza in the return leg at 6/4.
Simone Inzaghi’s side now boast the longest undefeated home run in the competition (14 games) and the second leg looks ideally set up for them. They twice sliced through Die Roten on the counter in Bavaria and Bayern will need to force the pace.
However Vincent Kompany’s visitors have lost three of their five away matches in the competition this term. They’re expected to come up short again against hosts that have won five home games on the bounce in the UCL this term, keeping four clean sheets.
Tip: Inter to beat Bayern Munich @ 6/4
Back Barca’s defence to help finish the job at Signal Iduna Park
Barcelona were sufficiently rampant in their 4-0 quarter final first leg win over Borussia Dortmund that the 4/5 about Hansi Flick’s men repeating the dose in Germany will appeal as a reasonable standalone bet price for many a punter.
Dortmund are far from unbeatable at home, having lost four times in their last 11 home games across all competitions including a 3-2 league phase reverse against their Spanish visitors.
However, rather than banking on another high-score to boost the Barca win odds, backing them to win and under 3.5 goals looks the play this time.
Four of their last five away games have seen that bet cop in wins to nil, including victories over UCL-tier opponents Benfica and Atletico Madrid.
